Problems burning DVDs -- Part Two
All: A big thank you to all of you who gave me the advice on how to better burn DVDs. Most of the time, burning slower with a 16MB buffer works great. I am still having problems with some burnt DVDs though. I have been burning with TDK DVDs and CDs on Mandriva Linux 2007 with K3B for some time now; but, th... 9 Oct 2007 19:23

Salts and farming

Temperature Sensors (was: [OT] Batteries)
Thanks, everybody, for all your valuable information! I hope nobody minds if I pull all the discussion about system temperatures and temperature sensors into a separate thread, since it /is/ about a specific topic, and I'd consider it on topic for this newsgroup (a.o.l.mandrake).
