Maybe that's why the last DIR-615 was acting strange, I replaced it with another DIR-615 but it has firmware version C1. Guess I'm safe, for now..

kaychoro writes "There may be hope for Duke Nukem Forever (again). 'Jon St. John, better known as the voice of Duke Nukem, said some interesting words during a panel discussion at the Music and Games Festival (MAGFest) that took place January 1 – 4 in Alexandria, Virginia, according to Pixel Enemy. Answering a question from the crowd regarding DNF, St. John said: "... let me go ahead and tell you right now that I'm not allowed to talk about Duke Nukem Forever. No, no, don't be disappointed, read between the lines — why am I not allowed to talk about it?"'"

Well, I for one can say my machine is NOT part of this problem. The users of these "compromised" machines are merely appliance operators, and couldn't secure their machines no matter what OS they run.

Microsoft has been "stealing" code for a long time. Does anyone expect any "real" punitive measure for this?

I mean after all. Microsoft has been "borrowing" code, well, for EVER. Does ANYONE really expect anything different?

You said it brother! I use a HP laserjet 4 plus, a great reliable work horse, works with just about all OS'es. Toner cartridges are about $80 at Office Depot and are good for about 5000+ pages of text. I have the print server option installed and maxed it out with ram (24+MB)

Colorado Newspaper Looking for Marijuana Reviewer 171

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday October 21, 2009 @12:26PM from the missed-this-at-the-job-fair dept.

Westword, an "alternative" newspaper in Denver, has placed an ad for a medicinal marijuana reviewer. The paper has been running reviews by a staff writer, but the writer "wanted to return to the day job," opening up the position. Applicants must write a short essay on "What Marijuana Means To Me," and a MacGyver-like ability to make a bong out of common household objects is a plus.
