I'm not sure where else to ask?

Here are some of the sightseeing spots I created down the line. I'm hoping to go and revisit them next week to see how they are faring.

I would have gone further, but my rsi was killing me.

From somebody with 20 years of casino experience, I can state categorically that (in the casino's that I've worked in, at least) the games are not rigged in any way.

They don't have to be. The odds are enough to earn the owners a splendid profit without resorting to cheating.

At the end of the day, if they were caught cheating, the penalties would be significantly larger than any profit which they could squeeze from the punters by cheating in the first place. I am assuming that you mean long-term, permanent cheating, such as multiple, rigged wheels, etc.

For example:

• Lack of confidence - word gets out that they are cheating and the players leave in droves. Lost revenue, etc.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on a 21" iMac, the issue is the sound system.

I have sound, but it's seriously weedy, lacking in the rich timbre and bassiness that comes from them when osx is running. In short, they sound like a pair of cheap, cardboard speakers.

Does anybody have any suggestions for improving this situation?

Btw, my alsa-base.conf has the following line, which is a workaround for the crappy iMac soundcard:

options snd_hda_intel model=mbp3

Anybody here know why I cannot just drop a replacement sata drive into a 24" iMac (white), boot from the install DVD and install directly onto the new drive?

Story Time:

The iMac HDD died (white 24" iMac). They brought it to me to have a look at. The drive is dead & needed replacing. Luckily I happen to have a 320gig maxtor (non-Apple branded) SATA drive, so I removed the old drive, placed the new drive inside and switched on the machine. Booting to CD I get the OSX installer. When I go to drive tools, it doesn't see the new drive.

Ok, remove the drive, drop it into an external enclosure and (using diskutil -> restore) copy the OSX install from another machine onto it. If it won't

Probably not the best place to post, but I can't think of anywhere else to post to, so here we go.

I have some Ginger Beer plant, which was bought in the UK from here. It's alive and well (well, it's multiplying, so I'm assuming it's alive), however I cannot get the bottled beer to self-carbonate. It's supposed to pressurise itself, but it doesn't. I'm assuming that because it's summer here in Greece, and it gets very hot indeed 38°C/90°F at the moment, the yeast isn't fermenting in the bottle. Is there anything that I can do (short of installing air-conditioning) to fix this?

Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

Edit: Replying to both comments. T

I'm a newb Homebrewer living in Greece. I've started on Mead, but would like to branch into Beer & Ales. Does anybody have any idea where I can acquire equipment/ingredients for Homebrew within Europe (looking for fermenting buckets w/ airtight lids, hops & other stuff which isn't easy to acquire in mainland Greece)? All suggestions welcome :)
