This is a power switch. Nothing more. Certainly not a sata switch. As much as I love soldering.. I'll stick with grub for this one. Then I can at least share my media across OSes.

I concur. The terms geek and nerd have gone too mainstream. I used to get made fun of because I was a nerd, now everyone calls themselves a geek or a nerd. "Look i got a new [TV|ipod|cellphone], I don't know how to hook it up and can barely use it, but I'm such a geek for getting it!" The hell with that, screw all you posers. Go back to being wiggers or something.

Actually, they'll hallucinate.

I disagree. They obviously don't have time to commit crimes when they have 20 wives nagging at them.

YEAH! WOOO!!! Ok.. how do I install these RPMs? You know.. for the handful of things that I run that ONLY come in RPM format?

Trust me.. we still need those niche dists. Maybe not all of them, but many of them.

Now don't get me wrong. I use ubuntu in a few places, but as long as Cpanel is RPM based, I will continue to run RH/Cent boxen too.

Like anyone is going to forget him any time soon.

I second this.

He has nothing to say about it, because "I'm fucking Matt Damon"

This drives me fucking batshit insane (I work for a small cable co)... I hate these fear mongering pieces of shit for not clarifying this better:

The last sentence should read: " Older analog televisions will no longer work without a converter box OR CABLE TELEVISION after February 17. "

Actually when mine locks the reset trick won't work. I always have to wait for the battery to go dead. :(

I'm really glad my iPod has never locked up.. (like 20 times or so). It usually happens when I'm driving too, which REALLY pisses me off.

But this is what happens people, you want more and more technology in your pocket? In your car? in your phone? Then you're going to have more bugs, and lock ups. GET USED TO IT. My old POS KeyoCera flip phone never once "crashed" on me. My crackberry (8703e) has locked up 2 or 3 times in 2 years. Not that horrible, but the more complex the machine, the more chances it has to break.

I somehow doubt your boycott of moto products are going to change anything. I have about 1000 Motorola cable modems, a couple dozen canopy, and a couple dozen digital set top boxes out in production that all have a Motorola tag on them. I'm not going to stop using them either, as they're good products. I do have a blackberry sitting on my desk too. :D

I think where this will actually hurt them is when Motorola can't find employees willing to work under crap contract conditions. Though that's unlikely considering our current economic problems.

Yeah.. those stupid teens.. because adults never drive stupid.

My perception has been a little different. I've found EVERYONE to drive like idiots lately. I even have idiot moments.
