re: [ILUG-BOM] Horrible Experience with Redhat
by Saswata Banerjee 03 Oct '04

03 Oct '04

Amasing !!! I too registered but didn't go to the event. Looks like a good thing I didn't waste time. I do not understand, however what was the basis on which they didn't allow you in. I thought registering on web and getting the confirmation was the way to do it.

[OT] Space Tourism Idea
by Rony Bill 02 Oct '04

02 Oct '04

Hello Luggers, Space tourism is now a possible reality with the successfull flight of a private space craft. Many years ago I observed the spinning wheel in the starting video of the TV serial 'Mahabharata'. That gave me an idea of creating artificial gravity in space for the convenience of space travellers. Imagine a spinning wheel having a thick hollow circumference. This hollow circumference will be the rooms of the space building. The actual circumference wall will be the floor of the rooms which will be interconnected in a round circle. As the wheel spins, it creates centrifugal force and this force pushes the people and material against the outer wall (floor). This is artificial gravity. As I don't know the calculations, I am not in a position to know the practical maximum diameter as well as the rotation speed that can be possible in space. Even if we cannot get full gravity, a partial one will be very handy for tourists who may find the process of using the toilet under zero gravity conditions awkward and revolting. This will also keep the body in earth like familiar conditions for longer stay in space. The centering balance of the wheel can be done by having pumps that will pump liquid mercury into hollow chambers all along the circumference, according to the weight imbalance, in a sensing similar to car wheel balancing. Mercury is the heaviest liquid and will occupy minimum volume. The Indian hotel industry should come together to create hotels and recreation centres in space before others get into the race. We will need hotels, cinema halls, reception halls (for space marriages and birthday bashes), gyms, and other sight seeing sites for space tourists. The big guns should get into the act with ISRO. Regards, Rony.

Video card(3-D Support not working)
by Arjun Jain 02 Oct '04

02 Oct '04

Hi, I have a MSI KM400 motherboard with a VIA KM400 on borad display adapter. The problem is that I can not get the 3-D support working on it. Also the video quality is poor (It is giving me 1024x768 at 16bit). I have googled, been to lot of mailing lists.. all in vain. Even the driver provided by via at http://viaarena.com does not help. I am currently using SuSE 9.1 Pro but have tried it on FC2 as well as Mandrake 10. Does any one else have the same config and has been able to get video working? Please help. TIA.
