    Can these electric eels power it too?

  2. Re:Ah the beauty of the interconnected world... on Alternative To the 200-Line Linux Kernel Patch · · Score: 1

    Honestly, no. I was so turned off by the problems associated with it when it was first introduced to Ubuntu a few years back that I ripped it out and never looked back, and when I moved to Arch I didn't even consider it. It's kinda like the associations people make with certain kinds of alcohol after a bad hangover: even a look will make them nauseated.

    Considering that Lennart wrote the steaming, broken pile known as PulseAudio, his solution makes perfect sense...

    I'm still running an XP VM in VirtualBox on a Linux host on my R52. Runs great (at least until I open up ArcGIS...)

    You might want to get that checked...sounds serious.

    you will find out that even greengrocers' apostrophes are not always wrong: they date from an age when new fruit and vegetables were appearing, and their customer needed to know that there was a difference between potato's and asparagus.

    You know, if you cannot tell the difference between potato and asparagus then you might have problems that even an apostrophe cannot solve...
