    I'll draw a cool map

  2. Re:Access Point Wi-Fi? on Linux Kernel 2.6.29 Released · · Score: 0

    Geez, Windows has supported using access points on a Wi-Fi network for quite a long time.

    Lunix playing catch up yet again!

    How is this offtopic? I disagree, but it's not offtopic.

  3. Firefox 3, Ubuntu 8.10, Pentium M 1.7 Ghz on Google's Amazing Browser Experiments · · Score: 0

    What's the big deal, works fine on my reliable 5 year old Latitude D800.

  4. Re:What are you trying to do? on Locking Down Linux Desktops In an Enterprise? · · Score: 0

    Oh please. He wasn't saying it can't be done. There are any number of ways to prevent users/groups from executing solitaire. We can start by not deploying systems with it installed.

  5. tomato firmware on How Best To Deal With WiFi Interference? · · Score: 0

    The Tomato firmware lets you scan each channel and identifies all wireless networks (including hidden w/o ssid) before you pick the channel you will use. You can then pick the clearest looking channel. You can also try the Windsurfer http://www.freeantennas.com/projects/template2/ which is an aluminum foil antenna you make to better direct your signal.

  6. Seems like a fair compromise a on iTunes DRM-Free Files Contain Personal Info · · Score: 0

    I doubt it will take that long for a utility to come out to remove the info though.

  7. Nice, how long until we see this in Ubuntu? on Open Firmware Released For Broadcom Wireless · · Score: 0

    Nice, how long until we see this in Ubuntu?

  8. Re:I am confused... on The Illuminati Project Pushes For Dark Skies In 2009 · · Score: 1

    good idea red lights are nice too, less power, easier on the eye at night

  9. Re:Shocking on India Sleepwalks Into a Surveillance Society · · Score: 0

    bit by bit.... tit by tit... =(

  10. no on Has HavenCo's Data Haven Shut Down? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    not a clue

  11. I have a friend who paid for Limewire on Woman Admits Sending $400K To Nigerian Scammer · · Score: 1

    This is almost as bad

  12. Better candidate == better coverage on Press Favored Obama Throughout Campaign · · Score: 1

    no surprise

  13. Lets just do the one where we get an extra hour on Alternatives to Daylight Saving Time? · · Score: 1

    I like having that extra hour in the morning. We could have a DST jump every other weak. Then skip, I dunno, Dec. 25th to account for the day we lost.

  14. Re:Very wrong on Americans Refusing To Wait For Mainstream EVs · · Score: 1

    Thank you. I'm constantly trying to illustrate to people the advantages of the modularity of electricity. So what if EVs are powered by coal plants, in the future all you have to do is replace the coal plants, rather than everyone replacing their car. Not to mention the current infrastructure for electrical distribution. Any other energy source would require new infrastructure. For EVs, as far as I've seen, whatever gas stations are already in place are also connected to the grid.

  15. Re:It flew under the radar on Best Buy Is Selling Ubuntu · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Keeping the offering under the radar was to Best Buy's advantage. They most likely used a little effort to keep it quiet. If everyone was aware that they were selling someone you could download for free, or even order a free CD of, there would be no benefit to selling it in the first place.

  16. Re:100% fake on Bill Gates Chews Out Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I tried unsuccessfully for about 2 minute to convince myself that it was real. FAKE

  17. Re:What a genius... on Mark Zuckerberg, Inventor · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm still waiting on my patent for my public toilet preparation methodology.

  18. Re:Yes, and yes. on Hardy Heron Making Linux Ready for the Masses? · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Hopefully GRUB 2 fixes some of this. Not only do I have those same problems now and again, I'm on a laptop so I've encrypted each partition. If something happens to my precious boot image I need to boot from a live cd, load all the correct encryption modules, install cryptsetup-luks. Mount the encrypted volume, chroot it, then run update-initramfs. I'm exhausted just from thinking about it.

  19. EZFiber on Name For a Community-Owned Fiber Network? · · Score: 1

    You almost had it with ECFiber, just change it to EZFiber

  20. Money, money, money on The Dead Sea Effect In the IT Workplace · · Score: 1

    There needs to be a better salary distribution. Good network administrators are like world class composers.

  21. A keylogger for security? on Identify and Verify Users Based on How They Type · · Score: 1

    I don't want this information stored.
