No GPU testing :( unless mprime/gpuburn can work in GPGPU mode. if your laptop has onboard nvidia graphic the last thing you want is a hot gpu.

If it fails (GPU) burn-in, I'll return it as defective. I asked (the service counter) and failed burn-in counts as defective. -- Andrey Vul A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

[gentoo-user] openoffice 3 broken?
I've got OpenOffice (compiled), v3.0.0 here. It appears broken. I haven't tried a lot of things, but this little RTF file gets it wedged right away: the console that started it says: error - missing word count in dictionary file Hash Manager Error : 4 So I'm guessing there's a problem in a spell checker. Where would I look to solve that? -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD RosterFormat.rtf Description: RTF file

Where would I look to solve that? This may help: Spell checking is provided through our own myspell-ebuilds, if you want to use it, please install the correct myspell package according to your language needs. Check to make sure myspell is installed correctly, perhaps re-emerge it. Dale :-) :-)
