This isn't about my ex-wife....

Awkward post then.

Well, I guess this one isn't for me.

Looks horribly uncomfortable and dangerously unwieldy to ride.

I think i'll pass.

Just in case you want to say hi.

(Always pimpin' my fellow Alaskans)

I've got a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH running the [provided!] DD-WRT firmware, and haven't had any problems.

It's also the gigabit switch between the upstairs office and the downstairs servers.
Not had a single lick of trouble, and I've got coverage throughout my 2500 sq ft house.

Brings back the memories. I remember the usenet post because I was camping on the .minix trying to decide how best to conquer my computer...

then Linus showed up with his post, and I soon had my answer.

I've been running Linux non-stop since 1993, and have never looked back.

I hope so. Dark matter is the ugliest kludge to the standard model ever.

It's worse than the Plus upgrade for Windows 98.

Alaska roofs are even worse. But I hear ya, my igloo brother from a more southern latitude.

I read slashdot but didn't join for a number of years.

Same with Blues News
Same with Digg

Same with lots of other sites. The ratio of tracking vs registration perks needs to rise above a certain level for me.

Basically, as soon as I *really* feel a need to reply to some snark-ass middling punk.

Phone didn't have presence, quite. However, in 1991, I abused phone to create a notification system for when your peeps logged in, thereby extending
a two-way chat application with presence.

Yes. I've had the code online since 1991.

Anybody with patents on two-way messaging and presence should probably line up and bite my shiny metal ass.

I've still got the beta ISO from Ygg, and an image from it loaded here on the workstation.

Boots up just fine in a VM.

they also have an alternate v6 site, but don't recall what it was.

Yup. 2nd 24" monitor. the 1st is my VM (see FP, haha) but only because WinBlows works better that way.

But Linux as my main desktop on the right side is where all the action is.
12 open terminals, pidgin, FF, and anything else I need at the moment.

Although I really only ever used kermit so i could download zmodem...
