  1. Re:We have more oil? on Oil Deposit Could Increase US Reserves 10x · · Score: 2, Funny

    just to be petty: OD is primarily a copper mine. it's just a bonus that it has a big mofo uranium deposit mixed in with it. and some gold and silver too. Good times. money for everyone.
    If they go ahead with the expansion, don't forget the increased water requirements either: if they put a reverse osmosis machine near Whyalla, what's the bet that the waste from it kills all the fishes in Spencer Gulf. bad tims. fish and chips for noone.

    I've just ordered an M-Audio Transit (mainly for my fista laptop with uber shite noisy headphone jacks). http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Transit-main.html
    From what I can tell, the drivers upload a firmware to it everytime you plug it in (or power-on your pc). This here will do the job in linux, apparently. http://sourceforge.net/projects/usb-midi-fw/

    compare this to a windows xp install:
    1. install windows. most pieces of hardware don't work.
    2. install network card drivers. where the fuck is my network card cd? shit. i'll have to get on the net to download them. shit. I can't because I have no network card drivers. goto 2.
    3. install sound card drivers. where the fuck is my sound card cd? shit. i'll have to get on the net to download them.
    4. install gfx drivers [same as 3]
    5. install digital tv card [same as 3]
    6. install scanner [same as 3]
    7. install printer [same as 3]
