Centrino Laptops Reviewed

Jeff Mancuso writes "CNET seems to be the first out with full reviews of the new Centrino Pentium M laptops. The performance looks solid, the features are great, designs are thin and battery life runs up to 4-7 hours on these machines." Yeah, I had hoped that we would make it on the review list, but alas, no such luck. Nice looking machines, though.

Fuck You All

"Anyone that says life is great is LYING. I need a chemical lobotomy like Ozzy. I'm too fucking aware of my own consciousness for my own fucking good. I just want to forget that I'm mortal and boring. I'm so fucking sick that all I can do is sit around in bed watching TV while trying to aim my phlegm into the garbage can. If anyone reading this site is in marketing, do the world a favour and kill yourself right now. I'm serious. You're worthless. You're scum. Your job is to make us feel like we're lepers and the only thing that will make us feel better is buying your product. I hate the TV. I hate you."

But Is it RFC-1149 Compliant?

A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers

Status of this Memo

This memo describes an experimental method for the encapsulation of IP datagrams in avian carriers. This specification is primarily useful in Metropolitan Area Networks. This is an experimental, not recommended standard. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
Overview and Rational

Avian carriers can provide high delay, low throughput, and low altitude service. The connection topology is limited to a single point-to-point path for each carrier, used with standard carriers, but many carriers can be used without significant interference with each other, outside of early spring. This is because of the 3D ether space available to the carriers, in contrast to the 1D ether used by IEEE802.3. The carriers have an intrinsic collision avoidance system, which increases availability. Unlike some network technologies, such as packet radio, communication is not limited to line-of-sight distance. Connection oriented service is available in some cities, usually based upon a central hub topology.
