LinuxAnt's DriverLoader Loads Centrino Drivers

cRueLio writes "The latest release of Linuxant's DriverLoader can now load Centrino drivers. This is very useful, because Intel has been resisting the release of Linux Centrino drivers. For those of you who don't know, DriverLoader is practically a wrapper for Windows wireless drivers."

  1. Dead Sea is drying. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    It is now official; Israel confirms: Dead Sea is drying.

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Dead Sea community when the Israeli government confirmed that Dead Sea is drying up, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all seas. Coming on the heels of a recent European Union survey which plainly states that Israel is the cause of mid-east tension, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Dead Sea is evaporating in complete disarray.

    You don't need to be a Ezekiel to predict Dead Sea's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Dead Sea faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Dead Sea because Dead Sea is drying up. Things are looking very bad for Dead Sea. As many of us are already aware, Dead Sea continues to lose sea area. Water doesn't flow like a river of blood, at least for Dead Sea.

    Although my precious and limited time (I am an IT-outsourcing consultant) did not allow me to read the interview, I am sure it involves something that
    • does run Linux
    • proofs that Mirosoft is making bad software
    • shows how stealing intellectual property simply cannot be wrong ("Actually, it is not stealing") because every fucking idiot does it
    • assumes that any law preventing child molesters from distributing their filthy shit is an attack on Free Speech
    • promotes homosexual, interracial or interspecial cohibitation
