802.11g Approved By IEEE 54 mb/s on 2.4 gigahertz

wavecentral writes "IEEE just approved the 802.11g as the new standard in a vote late Thursday. This enables data transfer rates of up to 54 megabits per sec and works on the 2.4 gigahertz band that 802.11b uses. This in turn makes it compatable and operable between the offical standard." Ewann also writes: "By mid-2002 we should be seeing products based on this technology. Unlike 5 GHz 802.11a, 802.11g is backwards compatible with the huge installed base of 802.11b products. Cool stuff if you want to wirelessly stream video and music in your home. More info on 0211-planet."

    The failures of Linux can be attributed to the influx of Negroe users. Negroes have a lesser brain capacity by nature and are not capable of handling the complexities of a UNIX like operating system. In an effort to appeal to as many users as possible, recent kernel developments have dumbed down Linux to appeal to the Negroe minority.

    For example, Alan Cox recently admitted the true reasoning to the abymsal performance of the Linux TCP/IP stack - it purposley limits the amount of data coming in as to not overload the mental capacities of the (possibly) Negroe user. Negroe's brains cannot process the same amounts of data as other races, and anything over ~200K a sec of incoming data can cause seizures in them. While this is humourous, it isn't the best way to gain users.

    Poor SMP performance is also caused by a similar problem. Multiple CPUs is a very trendy thing to have, but out of financial reach of most Negroes. Their natural behaviour is to steal other people's property, and after many users reported thier SMP machine stolen by Negroid thiefs something had to be done. The easiest way was to limit SMP performance so that multiple CPUs were not as attractive. The thefts stopped but the crippled semaphore mechanisms remain.

    A look at many recent Linux distributions shows they are compiled to run on architectures as old as the 486. Because all Negroes live in poverty, a 486 is all most can afford. Linux suffers for users as it is and to cut out a minority architecture would not be good. Therefore nearly every distribution is forced to include support for legacy systems. This is a hinderance to performance and disk space, and as Linux grows the additional space required to support Negroe systems is growing too large.

    I suggest that we, non-Negroe Linux users, find a way to segregate the Negroe Linux users to a seperate kernel or implement a system of dynamic performance levels.

    My plan is 3 fold: /bin/login can be edited to check for the user's race before logon. Since all Negroes are greasy, a USB or serial port sensor that checks for the amount of grease on the keyboard can be installed. If a high level is detected, a barcode reader reads a barcode tattooed on the forehead of all authorized Negroe Linux users. If the barcode checksums correctly, the login continues as normal.

    I welcome your input.

    Did OJ simpson get a fair trial?

    Obvously not, or he'd be in jail fucking another man up the ass, instead of in Florida, fucking another man up the ass.
