Our Indians reportedly ran 100+- miles in a ~24h period to deliver messages. You can't do that with your leg muscles atrophied from shoes.
"We can get some idea of the kind of distances such runners covered from the journals of early settlers. As early as 1794, James Emlen wrote that Sharp Shins, one of the Iroquois Confederacy messengers, ran 90 miles from Canandaigua to Niagara between sunrise and sunset.
In 1835, a correspondent to The Spirit of the Times newspaper told of a Native American who had run 100 miles in a day carrying a sixty-pound bar of lead. Another wrote of a member of the Osage tribe to skeptical members of the Indian Commission. Seeking to prove his veracity, he proposed a wager. An Indian was to take a message to Fort Gibson at sunrise and return with an answer before sunset, a round-trip journey of some 80 miles. The wager was won.
In 1876 Big Hawk Chief ran from the Pawnee Agency to the Wichitas, a distance of 120 miles, inside 24 hours. His claim to have run such a distance was not believed. The Wichita chief arranged to ride back with him, sending a relay horse to the 60-mile point so that he could change horses there. Before the 60-mile point, the Wichita chief's horse was forced to stop and rest, but Big Hawk went on. The Wichita chief eventually reached the Pawnee village before sunrise, less than 24 hours after their start, and found Big Hawk asleep. He had come in around midnight, covering the 120 miles across mountains, hills, and streams in about 20 hours."
LVM snapshots are neutered and almost a complete waste of time. Can you restore an LVM back to the state at the time of the snapshot? Not yet.... Instead you're forced to do cp and dd operations. Inexcusable.
...they were taken off the shelf. This WHR-G125 is *awesome*. Great range and just seems to be quite reliable hardware. Wasn't too bad on the price, either. I just wish OpenWRT had full support for it's processor, but I can deal with Tomato/DDWRT:)
Madison, WI has had WiMAX for over a year, but it wasn't been publicly launched until January. TDS Telecom offers WiMAX not just for internet, but for phone! You get indoor or outdoor WiMAX equipment depending on how the survey of your location goes, and you also get a UPS for the equipment so it doesn't go down when the power's out.
Residents using it report that it gives better call quality (which is probably due to poor phone lines) and say their connection is faster than landline DSL (also probably line quality, but could be less congested networks).
This is true, but there are modded Tomato firmwares floating about without Jon complaining. I've dontated to his project; I love Tomato. He deserves the right to keep control over the web ui, but I do agree that it detracts from making the firmware as free as it could be.
Drivers written once continue to work. Really? How come a ton of Solaris 9 drivers don't run on Solaris 10?
We had an old A1000 we wanted to hook up to a Solaris 10 box but guess what.... Sun dropped support for that driver in Solaris 10! And the Solaris 9 one doesn't work!
That isn't unreasonable. Have a look at how often nVidia has to change their Linux drivers and tell me who requires more. Don't even TRY to use that argument. It's the job of the Linux FOO maintainers to make sure EVERY driver is compatible with FOO's new API. If Nvidia won't release their drivers open source, the maintainers can't promise and WON'T promise that the new API doesn't break the driver.
Call me back next time you download a new kernel and an API change broke drivers that came with that kernel. Until then, sit in the corner and drink your juice.
That's the final straw. I'm pressing charges. You know the name of my connection, linksys, so YOURE the one that's been on _MY_ internets! Who else could it possibly be?
But Blackjack and Videopoker give you better odds at winning than any other game in the casino. I know, I've worked in one and had the privilege of seeing how *everything* works.

*yes, I just called them Indians. I've talked to many, and they prefer that term.

You couldn't possibly keep up your 9 second 100 yard dash rate for miles at a time.... long distance running is quite different.
IPX isn't routable. durrrrrr.

Can you imagine what the regulations and laws would be like if DARPA had created the internet? Sweet Jebus!

oh come off it -- you know damn well you use the best tool for the job and the best tool isn't always 100% free.
Nothing. They are still conviced that WINE is an emulator and you'd lose performance by compiling against winelibs.

Eat your own dogfood first.
Are you on crack? 2.6 came with an AIO api and there are even patches around for AIO on 2.4. This is years old.
You seem either grossly uninformed or you're simply rude.
No, I've seen this as a requirement for a few private trackers. It put me off on posting as I'm not going to waste my time.
there's this cool thing called modules. you should read about them.

Last I heard the higher end Xonar cards are nearly feature complete. I'd expect this to be working fine in the coming months.

How long did it take you to compile that list?

IE8 doesn't pass Acid2! I think it cheats!
Check it out quickly guys!

The only thing different between these tests is a 404 link on about line 130 of the source. Is IE8 cheating?!!!
whhoooooooooooooeeeeeeee!
that was a good one there fella
you shore would be a purdy good comedian
