Oh great.  I now know how quirky the VT8235 southbridge is.  BTTV and IDE banging DMA out is freezing it.

So I have a few choices:

1. I can remove the card -- but it's a good card!  Downside is that there's some fuzziness, so I'm still running it off the VCR.
2. I can force DMA off on all my IDE drives... which is only a temporary solution.  I can send a bug report to the Linux Kernel developers in the meanwhile.
3. I can switch to SCSI drives... which means looking for a 60 meg SCSI HD and a CD-RW.

Boy do I need a good job.

take your rosy outlook and cram it where the economy is. that would be the manure pile behind the barn. like it or not, the numbers are bull. rose colored glasses? hell, they had it done with corneal surgery.
over 3 million jobs were lost. that means at least 3 million people were out of work. we've created i think the current number is 524,000 new jobs. out of 3 million. that still leaves a net loss of 2.5 million jobs. no, people aren't hiring. you know why? because they already hired everyone they needed, and they have more than enough applicants in case they get another opening again.

It makes me wonder if the Canadian economy is in a similar condition ("critical") as the US economy.

possibly, but some of the outsourcing the american companies are doing is going north of the border, just just to india.

Though, the thing is, americans can't understand indian english nearly as well as canadian english.
