    I'm using the NDISwrapper to run a pure windows wireless driver (thanks a gob linksys, for using different chipsets for same model number card 8P ), as a last resort this type of technology is preferable to not being able to run at all.

  4. Re:I'm still tired and coffee'd up to my eyeballs! on Daylight Savings Change Proposed · · Score: 1

    yes, since if we count oil in shale, we sadly have enough for over 2 more centuries at current growth rates. ick, I hope we go to clean sources of energy which neither pollute nor make any net changes to heat/greenhouse gas budget of earth.

  5. Re:I'm still tired and coffee'd up to my eyeballs! on Daylight Savings Change Proposed · · Score: 1

    um, we hardly get any electricity from oil in the U.S.A. Coal: 60%. Nuclear: 20%. Now, what exactly will saving 0.05% "oil equivalents" in two months of extra DST gain us? Nothing, that's what. This only shows our lawmakers can neither reason nor perform arithmetic. This is more symbolism over substance in lieu of actually doing something constructive about how we generate and transport energy.

    even before academia, the "big iron" vendors like IBM and CDC were mainly interested in hardware sales or lease, and gave away OS and compiler sources. Of course, being assembly, is was only of use on their own machines...

  11. Re:saved your life? on Identity Theft Victim Gets Last Laugh · · Score: 1

    what if your attacker wants no witnesses? You are gambling with your life that your attacker is a rational person? What do you do when there is more than one attacker, you throw your things to one side, and one of them follows you?
