Wireless Networking, Windows XP, and Living without 'Net...
Was helping a friend of mine setup his new office today, install a LAN, buy a computer, and all that jazz. He's got a snazzy new Dell Laptop with Windows XP, and we snagged a new Compaq AMD Athlon system that's pretty snappy.
Then came the LAN.. We loaded up a Linksys WPC11 card into his laptop, followed the directions, got it installed and talking to the access point.. and then it refused to share files.
Four frustrating hours later, we gave up and went home.
In five minutes at home, I had the answer. The drivers were out of date, the ones in the box didn't support Windows XP.. now I have the new drivers here on my laptop to take in to him tomorrow so he can get things running properly.
This really isn't about the problems we had or the missing drivers.. it's that his office doesn't have 'net access yet as Verizon hasn't gotten around to installing it... so we couldn't the obvious.. head to Google, do a search, and find the answer.
Frustrating, frustrating...

This should be interesting.
I do hope that this will breathe some life back into online advertising, because right now you can't make jack without serious serious traffc.

Spammers, Opt-In Lists, and More...
I got a kick out of this article at kuro5hin about the guy who responds to the spammer and then has the experienced linked below.
One of the opt-in mailing lists that I own sends out a joke newsletter three times weekly. It contains clear unsubscribe directions, and everyone on it has already opt-ed in to receive the emails.. however, I must receive at least 4-5 emails per thousand subscribers wondering why they're getting email, accusing me of being a spammer, or just stating "REMOVE ME".
Geesh, read the directions people, I made it easy, and I'm one of the good guys! I hate spam. Green eggs and ham, spam I am.

Noam Chomsky
I've always found him to be an interesting guy, someone who pushes the edge of things like Howard Zinn todays, and I enjoy reading his stuff.. but living in Boston has jaded me to the Intellectual Liberals. Not only are they unwilling to listen to the truths, they spout communistic shit like this.
Sure, we're the terrorists. Give me a break.
