  12. The good list on The Problem With Driver-Loaded Firmware · · Score: 3, Insightful

    According to the article, there are three companies that have actually worked with the free software community on drivers. Here is the list:

    Ralink Technology

    Atmel Corporation

    Realtek Linux drivers here

    Vote with your money, folks. If you would like to see companies cooperate with the free software community, reward the companies that do so by buying their products.

    If you know of a particular piece of WiFi hardware that works particularly well in Linux or BSD, please follow up here so we all know what to buy. (See also this list.)

  15. Baby seal? on Japanese Robot Awards 2006 Announced · · Score: 0

    Ok, I understand that some people want to pet a stuffed toy and pretend that it's a baby seal. I mean actually do this more than once.

    Let's say that this applies to say, 1% of the population.

    Ok, now you stick some robotics into your stuffed toy (they would have said "clockwork" a hundred years ago), does that really raise the percentage of people interested in petting the stuffed toy and pretending that it's a real seal?

    I mean I like stuffed toys myself, but I can't imagine that putting machinery inside of one makes it better. Since you don't have to pretend that it's moving or anything, I think you're MORE likely to be thinking of it as just an object, in case you'll think of it as a machine rather than as a pillow.

    I mean lets face it, the smartest computerized toy is no nearer to being a real seal than an ordinary doll is.

    And isn't the whole premise awfully condescending and insulting? If you want to help old people get over loneliness, why are you foisting toys on them rather than say, time with a real human being, or a real pet?
