  1. Re:more like annoyed with mac hardware on Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Is there any Linux distribution that has a working Airport Extreme driver? I have an ibook G4 that I've wanted to install Linux on. But it doesn't seem worth the trouble to do it, considering half of the ibook hardware won't work with Linux.

  2. Re:My thoughts as a Wikipedian. on Larry Sanger on Wikipedia and World · · Score: 1

    If you're a Wikipedian, an editor/mod/whatever, than I want to thank you.

    I use wikipedia a lot for my engineering classes and as a quick reference and also as a picture reference.

    One example was when I was learning about the State Space Description. I had no idea what it was for and why I was learning it. I went to Wikipedia and looked it up and I felt that gave me a better direction in my class and I knew where to focus my energies on.

    Wikipedia is great. I always use it as a starting point for any research, etc. I'm smart enough to know that Wikipedia is not the definitive guide for all knowledge, and anyone who thinks that is either lazy or dumb or naive.

    Anyways, my favorite Wikipedia article is about Marvin, the paranoid android and the number 42.
