Ah OK, misunderstood. Easy - set the motherboard to UEFI boot and turn off compatibility mode. Also, to really ram the issue home, clear the existing partition on your intended boot disc, and create the GPT partition table first. When Windows detects a GPT partition table, it automatically...

The Gentoo Handbook may be of some use here: If you're using something like Mint with graphical installers, then there'll be buttons to click, but if you're doing it the sensible way then: # parted -a optimal /dev/sda (I'm assuming you're partitioning the primary drive) // see what's already...

Some thoughts of no particular use: - the radiator is unlikely to be pressurized - the tubing will be a standard size - probably 1/4" nominal bore, so inserts and push-fit fittings from a plumbing store will likely work. - the sensor wiring is annoying. Any idea whether it's the fan running...

True, but it's the right thing to use if you want to put standard 12mm tube through a caravan wall without spending ages trying to ream the holes neatly. I suppose you could get away with a .32 if you were using 1/4" thin-wall pipe...

But you said you could dodge! :eek:

If her aim's good, then you can get a couple of neat .44cal holes in the caravan, and no need to drill! :rolling:

Just to add to the inevitable, "but it's all the fault of the thieving rich" - true to a certain extent. Government sponsorship of salaries does free up an awful lot of money, just sitting there unclaimed... since the shareholders didn't reject their remuneration packages, it must be fine...

Kinda If we took an absolutely free, unregulated market, it might work something like this: A job needs doing that earns the business maybe $5/hour worked in revenue. The business will naturally want to maximise its profit for its shareholders, so will offer as little as it can get away with...

I find it quite ironic that you deny humanity to humans, and seek to partition us, while in the same breath stating that "we come together where ever we can." You are still part of the top 10% richest people on the planet. By which definition of rich do you seek to divide us? I am in the 1%. Is...

Cats are solitary animals. Wild dogs are pack animals that in nature would gleefully attack dogs from a different pack that wandered into their territory. Domestic dogs have been infantilised, so never really develop true pack instincts. Humans, like many other primates, form social clusters of...

Harking back to slavery is a lazy way out. Racism isn't only white man's problem, as seems to be increasingly the narrative in the USA - everybody is capable of it, and everybody who as travelled widely has been on the receiving end of racism in some form or other. We also need to recognise...

Of course! That adaptability is both Linux's curse, and its proudest achievement. Not so much. I think a "C" is just about right...

Perhaps. I think the sweet spot is to be the infrequent user. I find my periods of enforced sobriety by being on site make my first beer taste all the sweeter, and my desire for the second beer... absent.

But this is true of just about any brain-bending chemical. In times of extreme pressure, coffee is not your friend. In times of sadness, alcohol is not your friend. Nicotine in small quantities is nootropic (enhances memory) - in larger quantities... well, it's other great use is as weed...

Every now and again, there's a burst of loud, and very rude, invective from my office. OK, I'm an engineer on an oil refinery construction site, so foul language isn't unexpected, but every now and again the choice and variety of the language would make a navvy blush. Reason: not long ago, my...

Not really - revolution is derived from revolve, so revolution really means that the wheel turns and the cycle begins again. Put another way, doing the same old shit and expecting a different outcome. When you look at the revolutions of the last few hundred years, the narrative of the poor and...

Only if the cups are this big!

I got the Metro 2033 Redux/Last Light bundle for Linux on Steam about a year ago now, when they were doing a flash sale. Only cost the equivalent of $10 or so. Bearing in mind I'm running it on an AMD Raven Ridge-based laptop, I've had some teething troubles, due to the relative immaturity of...

I have to admit, I just installed the Linux version...

Can I at least keep caffeine? Please?
