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.
