Re: [H] Cores with Different Temps at Idle?
Rick, LOL! Brothers under the skin I suspect! It's all good here.. :) Best, Duncan On 01/25/2010 16:25, Rick Glazier wrote: I've mellowed.

Re: [H] Bad Partition
I'd download a gentoo minimal boot CD, boot up with it, then just write 0's to the first few hundred MB of the drive. If it is the only drive in the system once you're at the command prompt do: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bz=1M count=300 Will overwrite the first 300MB of the drive with zero's, if that doesn't clear up the drive detection issues, pretty much nothing will. THIS WILL MAKE IT SERIOUSLY DIFFICULT TO RECOVER DATA ON THE DRIVE, but since it doesn't have any needed data should take care of things nicely. I'm sure you can use pretty much any CD/DVD based live linux disk for this, but the minimal gentoo disk is only 100MB or so last I looked.

Re: [H] Is there any point? [phone]
The Phone Network disconnect? NID? http://www.homephonewiring.com/nid.html I forgot those letters too, and they still look "odd"... (grin) Yes, When (if) you switch to FIOS, you can feed the house from that "inside" jack. Plus, for now, if it is snowing and the phones don't work, looking in the basement is a lot easier... Rick Glazier From: "DSinc" Is there any point? [phone] I think internal phone lines have 4 wires (2 lines). Normally, I see these as Red, Green, Yellow, and Black. No need to further confuse with various White w/stripe wires. I leave this coding to the "experts." ATM! Is there any good reason to have a central phone block/box inside the house so I can troubleshoot separate lines inside the house? Like between "ME" and the TSID?

Re: [H] Off - topic
Speaking of the old days... I sent my late Uncle an EXE that - when run - was a standard MS dialog box that asked "What is the meaning of Life?" If you tried to hit the "Answer" button, it raced all around the screen. Instead of laughing, he tried to have a long winded discussion on the subject. (The joke was on me...) Rick Glazier From: "Neil Davidson" I'm sure I've seen this as a powerpoint at one time or another. I tried to google for it, but couldn't find anything useful.
