A lot of the older WiFi chipsets are hostile to everyone. Fast moving target with crap shortcuts to abandonware overnight. There was even one vendor that made major hardware changes without changing the model number so that if you lose the driver disk that came with it you are screwed because the driver from the net won't work with it. To make things worse some of those dodgy five or older year old chipsets are still turning up in new hardware today.
Why are you incapable of backing away from Gawker as a reliable source
Obviously because I never suggested they were. WTF are you doing on Slashdot if you can't parse an IF-THEN statement? Seriously - a chatbot would have more ability to follow this than you.
would take a quick look at their history and understand
I can't be bothered and if I did I would no longer be able to say I don't know anything about them. Are they some porn site and you see yourself as some sort of "moral crusader" who feels they need to attack anyone who refers to them even second hand like I did?
They already have their own hypervisor technolgy which could have been used, they could have done things with libraries the way WINE does it on other platforms, but no, they had to go for the same dumb blunt instrument approach that has turned the MS platform into a malware swamp.
Um, guys, haven't you heard that Trump runs a great big pile of fucking casinos? Even if the Clinton Foundation is bent ten ways past Tuesday it's small change for a giant money-laundering operation compared with casinos. Try another tack. Hillary has done a lot of stuff so I'm sure you can find something where she's worse than Trump without trying too hard. Here's a clue - Pfizer. Here's another clue - sending agents to get credit card details of allied diplomats to be used to blackmail them with incriminating false purchases if necessary (Manning leak, and why she's out for Assange's blood).
So acting against corrupt spooks to tell citizens of the USA what they were getting up to is treason now? That sounds like something Putin would have said when the remains of the KGB were taking over Russia. Keep in mind that Snowden leaked to Americans and the it was the Washington Post etc that told others, but they are not being accused of treason.
Actually the review also reminds me of one about the most recent Godzilla movie where the reviewer was ranting about the "green" message. It's as if he didn't understand that every single movie in that monster genre since it spawned in the 1950s had that message - why did he bother to see it? The "Fury" review tells me nothing about the film and more about the reviewer than I wanted to know. I've heard that there were real historical tanks used in the movie (which I missed at the cinema) but such a dramatic bit of news was not in that review. Way too many reviews like that.
Please stop acting so dim. "From what has been written" means nothing but other than what those words mean with no strange conspiracy theory behind it. It's a simple fucking "IF THEN" statement. That I put an "IF" in there should tell you that I did not know whether to trust the source or not. You know far more about Gawker than I, to me it's just a name that was quoted in the summary above. I really do not get what your problem is here. Is Gawker something you hate so much that you feel you should attack anyone that dares referring to something from it at two steps removed without even mentioning the site name or is something else going on?
twits attempted to equate it with something.
Well it is especially naive and is the sort of thing a "wolf" would like a useful idiot to write so that reaction should be expected from time to time.
Maybe you misunderstood what you were told or are taking it out of context. I suggest reading a first year engineering text on materials science among one of the many online so you can get it from an independent source instead of your weird knee-jerk reaction to me. You've got no idea how amusing it is for me to hear a non-engineer say to an engineer than you will not believe the engineer because another one told you something that doesn't quite fit the situation. Think for yourself FFS! Stop throwing that appeal to authority around when there are so many on this site that have the same amount of authority! If your boss graduated in the late 1990s he may have been one of my students. Put that understanding of heat transfer to use. It's a very trivial situation in this case and nothing like the sort of stuff I used to model.
I suspect next Wednesday (Tuesday US time) there will be a story here about how millions of people tried to log onto the Census web portal at once and it all came to a halt. I hope I'm wrong but doubt I will be. There have been three years of serious staff and other cutbacks at the ABS so I doubt they have the resources to cope.
It's run by people who are. They are interested in that sort of stuff. Nothing sinister at all and I don't get why you think the above poster meant that Church instead of just people who belong to it.
The Vatican is not running your bank even if most of the people there are Christian.
In places with compulsory voting it's perfectly valid to leave the paper blank. Of course they don't have long lines, piece of crap Diebold machines and make people do it on a Tuesday. If too few people vote that freedom you paid for goes away.
This election we have seen literally Millions of cases of election fraud
What? Where? There are many examples around the world of successful measures against voting fraud. One interesting example in India is very cheap voting machines with a very low maximum vote count. If someone steals a machine and spams the result it's a drop in the bucket. The simple design and price makes the Diebold shit look like the pork it is. Personally I like the idea of paper ballots with electronic scanners to read them. It has the advantage of multiple methods to count and check results.

The SUMMARY above is my "source" loser.
I am not using them as a source.
It's is a fucking IF-THEN statement.
WTF is your problem?

WTF is your obsession with them that has you jumping at shadows and acting like a complete idiot?
No.
Is English your second language or are you just incredibly dim?
It's just a joke like "The Donald" asking his good friends in Russia to hack Hillary. A laugh from the audience and zero substance.

Sounds interesting. An irony is the local indie hipster-bait cinema had it but I missed it so I'll go looking for the dvd/blue-ray/aaar-me-hearties.
Why?
Syria.
We want Iran's help there, strange but true, and this is a trivial cost to get it.
The conservatives have left the building. The word you are looking for is "reactionaries". They want a LOT of change so are by no means conservative.
So acting against corrupt spooks to tell citizens of the USA what they were getting up to is treason now? That sounds like something Putin would have said when the remains of the KGB were taking over Russia.
Keep in mind that Snowden leaked to Americans and the it was the Washington Post etc that told others, but they are not being accused of treason.
So you are calling me a liar over something so utterly trivial.
Do you do balloon animals as well Pogo?

FFS dj245 your local fertilizer plant would be full of that stuff even if it was built in the 1950s.
They can buy stuff from the Russians just like we do.
NK - will troll for food.
It's been a major earner there for many years.
"From what has been written" means nothing but other than what those words mean with no strange conspiracy theory behind it.

He trained as a constitutional lawyer - of course he is a conservative. You should have worked that out by now with the slooooow rate of change.
In places with compulsory voting it's perfectly valid to leave the paper blank. Of course they don't have long lines, piece of crap Diebold machines and make people do it on a Tuesday.
