.. and on the weekends or from India. Funny how that works.

He didn't say there was anyone else there...

Well, you must a been around Houston for a hell of a time. In the 40 years I've been here winter has only ever been an occasional thing for at most a handful of weeks. Remembering a few freezes doesn't hardly count as remembering a winter.

I've done native code on Windows in industrial safety and automation. You'd think that's an oxymoron, but it can be made sufficiently robust.

I've dealt with bugs in Microsoft's SDKs, and dealt with multiple generations of drawing APIs. Played WoW and other games on WINE on Gentoo. Watched the incessant scrolling of FIXMEs on the console.

I'd love it if I could get paid to hack on WINE...

You could build the browser without video support. Actually trivial to do on Gentoo...

Gentoo. Not just for ricers.

FTA: ..a priesthood nonetheless, largely comprised of white men.

Some of us are Asian, you insensitive clod.

Why are you bringing Alaska into this?

I had one of the Pontiac G6s with the electric power steering assist. Let me tell you, when that electric assist went out it was exceedingly difficult to turn. Even at speed. Hydraulically assisted cars of the past would still be relatively easy to steer when moving over about 5mph. That G6 was absolutely dangerous when the electric assist failed. While GM claimed there was no issue, they did revert to hydraulic steering assist in later models. That alone should tell you the truth of the matter.

What does any of this have to do with a stringed instrument?

Millions of years of evolution vs my fist! WoW indeed!

If he was in a coma, I'd think that'd be the part he missed.

Looks like they added Ethernet. Doesn't say what speed, though.

You still can. Just use proper cable hiding tools and techniques. Like whatever they use to make power cables running across floors OSHA-safe. :)

My chief complaint was that in the original announcement, they were only going to support wifi for networking, yet it was supposed to be useful for gaming and streaming video.

The problem is that wifi is terrible for both of those use cases. It's bad on its own for latency purposes, and then there's spectrum contention. I raised these points in response to their Kickstarter drive, and it looks like they turned around and added those features. If I'd known they would, I would have donated on the Kickstarter.
