You don't need bitcoin client to mine in a pool.
What commands are you using to start mining?

Yes it is, although it may change in the future if there's a major change like for example addition of encryption which is planned for version 0.4. Keep an eye on the development.
Yes, wallet.dat can be used on OS X, Linux and Windows
mewants, if u were just starting mining, would u use Linuxcoin? Yes, it's great distro. Unfortunately, administering remotely proved to be somewhat difficult on the v0.2, so I went with windblows

You can receive the money even if you client is offline. It just won't be displayed until you have up to date blockchain

in my opinion this system can yoyo from near zero to where it is now multiple times and it would still be a solid long-term investment if it becomes an accepted means of exchange. It's not going anywhere, it just needs to be utilized. The system will be resilient, resiliency has been built-in.
edit: Of course this is assuming this is the client that catches on
I don't think the system will be as resilient as you think when no one can convert BTC to cash. If enough people are in possession of BTCs, they will just start trading in BTC even if exchanges go down

You can test it if you remove the cards from x16 and leave only the one in x1. It should boot up ok. The same happened to me - got few cards to add as third cards to my rigs, but found out that it's not possible. Oh well - more computers on the way..

But just in case you should ALWAYS backup wallet.dat before attempting software alteration

I would send osama few coins so he can buy a plane

Complete stab in the dark, but could it be that your miner loads nvidia drivers and then later realizes it cannot do any hashing with ati card printing the miner idle message.
The way around it would probably be to uninstall nvidia drivers

michaelmclees, it's usually in the manufacture's specification. On some motherboards pcie x16 and x1 share bandwidth and once you plug something into pcie x16, x1 gets disconnected, but in your case I'd bet the problem is elsewhere. If you you plug only one card in x1 and it doesn't get detected it is probably because you need to short A1 and B17 Pins to trick "Presence Detection".

Are you going solo? If so is bitcoin or bitcoind running, have you created bitcoin.conf and set username and password?

Thank you.
I do not apologize and don't like when people are apologizing for me, when there's nothing to apologize for. I usually am very patient and tolerant; perhaps arrogant prick this time pushed me over the edge.
Still, DATA COMMANDER is the perfect example of someone you don't want spamming on tech support forum.

Reinstall all ati suite. The problem may be with catalyst or other part of the suite. If that fails, try redownloading the miner or maybe try other miners.

i'll stick with our most reliable prognosticator: vladimir.
so...
$20 by the end of july.
$100 by the end of the year.
$1,000 by the end of 2012.
i'm talking about reasonably stable exchange rates, with a clearly established floor within +/-10-15%.
at this point, i'd be expecting a correction of some weight by june 15-20. not that i care.
That is a spectacular scenario, is this assuming btc wil be accepted for at least one county? I think this prediction assumes that bitcoin stays a parallel economy and only fills niches like poker and online payments. If any one country makes it legal tender, you should add quite few zeros to that estimation
