Also for Joe Consumer, why would he want this? Sure, it's moderately faster than b, but not as long range, and as has been previously stated in the slew of comments, will crowd the bandwidth.
This is not like the transition from 10BaseT to 100BaseT, it's like the transition from x86 to ia64. We've already become too far entrenched in 802.11b for a transition to g to be effective, with respect to cost or practicality.
The NIC was a neat idea in concept, but when I had played with one, I soon realized the hardware was complete schitt. We did manage to successfully mess with the ISO image, and even got into correspondence with some of the developers about it. They seemed pretty cool, and helped us out in hacking the image.
...I was told to support the Sun environment or walk out the door, I chose the door.
Good for you, they can't see that they're driving themselves into the ground, fuck 'em.
... "well, what about Sendmail...", he replied, "well, that's and exception...", "then how about BIND?","um, well", "and Perl?!", "well, that's not... but um..."... He later quit
Wow, I can only imagine how satisfying that was. Really, nothing beats showing up a complete tool to the point where he quits his job because he realizes what a failure he is at life.

Here at RIT the Computer Science exams are all closed-everything, but for the ones that don't test algorithms, they give us JavaDocs for all the crap we need to use.
However, as a math major, I take all my principle field of study exams closed-book, closed-note, no-calculator.:-)
I think it's interesting that it takes the "leader" of the OSS movement...
The OSS movement doesn't have a "leader", that's kind of the point of the whole thing. If anything, I would call Linus the "Minister of Reason" the OSS movement, as he's the only one moderate enough not to go crazy-go-nuts RMS style on the community, or go shooting his mouth off deRaadt-style and lose his funding;)
As a former high school student, I can comment on a few of these points:
1. You should show up to school, it is your parents responsibility to ensure you do. No, school sucks. We have better things to do. Any mandatoty activity that requires one to be awake before noon should be illegal, it's un-American.
2. You should do your homework, again your parents should make sure you do. Again, no. Homework sucks. We shouldn't have to work any more than the 8 hours of forced education per day.

Oh well. That's the way it goes.
What would this interview look like with a smart/tech-savvy HR Drone?
HR Drone: "So I see you've done an after school program on hacking"
Kid: "Yes, that's correct. I am a security expert because of it."
HR Drone: "...So you're a tool"
Kid: "Well actually sir, I am trying to be a security professional."
HR Drone: "...So you're a tool"
Kid: "In this program, sir, we learned the most advanced techniques for securing today's modern computer systems."
HR Drone: "So you've mastered Windows Update?"
Kid: (blushes and stares at feet) "...yeah"
...unless it can be used as a porn queueing mechanism.
Adam Smith....was wrong.

I keep getting connections to my box from this bastard, at all sorts of ports. What can I do to find out where he is?
His IP address is 127.0.0.1
Any advice from Fyodor or the Slashdot community?
We should collaborate....we build the Big Fuckin' Mirror, and together, UR and RIT can give UB the what's up.

We found that IIS runs 100% faster on Windows.
well, if iis doesnt run on linux, would it's relative run speed be zero or null?

Bravo!
that is the question
you have no idea how much antisocial time tech-savvy college kids have on their hands
True dat. It's either cyberwar or playing Counter Strike, and getting my face owned is getting a little old.
Well, consider that most music is going to be encoded at 128kbps mp3 and passed around college campuses like the crabs.
I, too have felt the effects of these problems. 128kbps mp3 encoding should be a crime.
Ogg is a stupid name, Vorbis is a stupid name. Xiphophorus mercifully seems to have changed their name to xiph.org
...but throw in another stupid name, and you come out with a stupid name.
Ogg/Vorbis: 2 Stupid names make a cool name.
Xiphophorus:
it's like cubing a negative.
...which is what?

Serves him right for speaking out against Operation Iraqi Freedom (tm).

How long before we get Linux drivers for this thing?
