"once-in-a-generation" space storm
http://www.telegraph...-hit-earth.html
One of these days the "man-made global warming" lobby will make the perfectly obvious connection between solar activity and Earth temperatures. But, for now at least, why let the obvious stand in the way of making a political statement?
that article had nowt to do with climate change more a "knowing" event.
might be worth a ttrip to john o groats or the shetlands to watch the northern lights!
scary to think we could be wiped out by a sun fart!

Now to use the Suse live-boot USB stick I just created to rescue a poor deluded Windows user who's registry has just gone TU! Let's see if Suse can restore it from a backup (yes - amazingly, there is a fairly recent backup!) without having to seek out a Windoze rescue disk. Or - like yer average Windows user - reformat and re-install with total data loss!
you can actually get similar products for windows!
heres a how to if your stuck! http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/features/backup-and-restore.aspx

Seems a bit odd that a chain as cash rich as Witherspoons would buy a place, board it up and leave it indefinately! Surely they would want it gutted, re-furbed and turned around so it can start earning it's keep!?
I wonder if they have other plans for it?
I really hope it does open, I think it will bring people to the town centre and they will inevitably wonder on to other pubs. Don't see how it can be a bad thing... Goodness knows we can't leave the place looking like it does today what with it's nice silver shutters up!
might be another project like the terrier old peoples home! i cant see wetherspoons actually opening anytime soon or in the future with alcohol laws about to change and the proposed police charges! (plus bedlington is a !*!@# hole!)

Too silly! The boot loader isn't really part of the o/s at all; it's just a way of getting to it; been and gone in a few seconds.
You can use any boot loader you want with any Linux - even Microsoft's lousy effort if you can figure the limited poxy documentation. If grub fails you either haven't got your hard drive partitioned properly; haven't told Grub about where the bootable partitions are properly; or you have bad hardware.
Grub is very flexible because to accommodate lots of o/s' and lots of different hardware and file systems it needs to be. This really isn't a problem to the average user because they get a simple menu, and a few seconds is all they ever see of it. But if you start playing on with partitioning and multiple o/s', and don't know what you are doing - well - you'd better find someone who does!
WTH is ninja?
There's no comparison between Linux and Windows XP on this machine, and I alternate between them regularly on the same hardware. At the moment if I boot XP it gobbles all available (1.25GB) of very expensive micro-SIMM RAM, takes an age to boot (and I've removed loads of crap and optimised the boot sequence), and IE goes away for ages and often becomes totaly unresponsive on heavy JavaScript pages. Running Linux - as I am at the moment - it is showing 370MB (30%) of that 1.25GB in use, with lots of stuff loaded, four active desktops, and listening to BBC iPlayer as I type. Also Firefox is really responsive and a pleasure to use. This is a 1GH/z ultra low voltage Pentium CPU that's now over six years old!
no you cant windows bootloader refuses to acknowledge linux or any other os other than m$ ! plus its a faf mucking on with boot loaders and grub is the standard one with linux!
oh and ninja is a security program for linux stops you being hacked by geeky linux users!
but in my case it just stopped me installing or uninstalling! three cheers for m$! and the programmer of remove wat!

And the relevance to heating and powering homes in the UK is what, exactly?
did you actually read it?
to answer your question the fact that a solar powered plane can fly at night is testament to the progression of solar technology!
or read the topic title it says something about solar panels does it not?
