  1. Re:Good choice, Linus! on Linus Torvalds Moving to the Silicon Forest · · Score: 0

    ok, i'm gonna pick nits, please forgive me. mt. hood meadows is a but more than 55 minutes, more like 75. closest you will get to 55 is summit ski area or ski bowl, both of which are pretty lame skiiing (snowboarding in my case). a happy medium is timberline lodge (linked previously wrt the shining), which is about 10 minutes uphill from skibowl/summit, and i think is the best skiing/$$ in Oregon. if you are a skiier Linus, enjoy.

    actually, portland has a great grocery store chain. linus, if you happen to be reading this. new seasons market is a wonderful grocrey chain based in the portland area and focused basically on actually being decent to customers. raleigh hills and orenco station locations are near where osdl is, not sure where you will be living. don't know about county sheriff, but portland public schools are actually quite nice. good luck with your new arrangements.

    I am too young to remember 2600 games, but if i remember correctly, didn't "Impossible Mission" have a bug in it that actually made it impossible?

    amazing what those years can do to the memory . . .

    while we're discussing cheap, homebrew antennas to increase TRANSMISSION range, has anyone successfully modified an 802.11b laptop card to increase the range at which it will receive a signal?
