Mineral-free ultrapure water has a resistivity of 18.2 megaohm . cm. I'd call that "pretty damn non-conductive", personally. Of course, eighteen megaohm water is capable of leaching sodium ions out of glass, so... DC.

On the subject of mineral oils, i am sure most people have already seen this, but it is still cool, especially if you like Bioshock http://imgur.com/a/jYv3X Ricky On Sat, Jun 11, 2011 at 8:11 PM, Matthew Green <matthew.j.green(a)ntlworld.com> wrote: > Yeah, you can go for cooling fluids which are basically distilled water with > additives (Which is what I've gone for).

CSS question about using float
by Chris G 11 Jun '11

11 Jun '11

I have a little CSS conundrum. I want to have a heading (H1 or H2) followed by some small and different coloured text on the same line. I can't do much manipulation of the headings because they are generated by a Wiki, but I can apply CSS to them as well if necessary. So, I have got as far as something like:- <html><div class="textright">&nbsp Text on right</div></html> <html><h1>Heading 1</h1><html> with CSS:- .textright { margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; float: right; } This works to an extent, the 'Text on right' does appear on the same line as the H1 heading as I want. However it's right across on the RHS and I really want it nestled up against the H1 text. Is there any reasonably easy way to get what I want? I'd really prefer not to have to make the heading 'float: left;' as this causes all sort of other fun and games, mainly because there's no easy way to 'clear: both;' afterwards. What I want is a box that occupies the whole width of the page the the right of the heading and then place the 'Text on right' within that box aligned to the left, but how do I get a box to place itself like that? -- Chris Green

Could you build a water cooled PC?
by Krishna Birth 10 Jun '11

I am interested also in having a water cooled PC. I am on a budget. Thus it should not be expensive. The watercooling kit should be open not closed / sealed unit because it should allow me to put the distilled water. Regards, Meeku

Could you change the fonts on Bios via the video card?

I want to change the font on the Bios which is separate from the operating system. Have any LUG members experience with changing the font on Bios via the video card? Regards, Meeku

ALUG Announce Please send announcements to Announce(a)lists.alug.org.uk Unsub, change settings via http://lists.alug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/announce ----- Hello Aluggers, Our monthly ALUG Norwich social meeting will be held this Thursday, 9th June at The Coach and Horses (82 Thorpe Road, Norwich, NR1 1BA). The meeting officially starts at 8pm, although some people may arrive earlier. More information on those people can be found on the list and the IRC channel. If you are unsure if you will recognise us then make yourself and your intent to attend known by either posting on list or visiting us on IRC so we can look out for you rather than hiding in the corner. Optionally you could ask at the bar if they know where the geeky computer weirdos are and they'll point you in the right direction (seriously!). Another possibility is look for heaps of electronics on a table that may possibly look like movie props that would used for detonating explosives. Feel free to bring electronics/laptops/gadgets to the meet, you will by no means be alone. Ben Bewick aka Viperfang NB: This mail is automated, please refer to the usual sources for more information.

It is meant to be free os and a linux based distro. What is meant to be different and planned about onlliinnee is: only unique fonts, software, development, a specific website home page on the browser, startup screen connects to video website/s, related with model railroad / railway, diecasting and ‘automation over internet protocol’ (AOIP) especially Rail Model AOIP (RMAOIP) and is for Srila Prabhupada: the always on eternal spiritual initiating and education guru.

Postfix (Sendmail) problem

I discovered that when using sendmail directly with the -f option it does work. I've now engineered a procmail recipe involving sendmail -f that also works. So all is now back to working the way it did before. Thanks for your help and if I ever come across a chocolate teapot you'll be the first to know. -- Barry Samuels
