Don’t Buy Netgear WG511 To Use With Linux
So, I recently bought the netgear wg511 card from newegg. The reviews on newegg are glowing for this card, and how well supported it is in Linux.

My Handheld Is Back! And Crashing Again!
I got my palm back from the repair depot yesterday. All seemed right in the world again. Except that just about 5 minutes ago it started crashing like it had been before I sent it back. Not happy. I’ve just tried to wipe all of my software off of it, but it still seems to [...]

Palm… issues.

Red Hat Going After MS, Or Chasing After Novell?
A couple of news stories about Red Hat has gotten me thinking about where they are heading. Recently, they purchased Netscape‘s Directory Server. This is basically an Active Directory replacement. Not a very big deal, but at the time, Mark commented on the purchase, saying “now all they need to do is buy Samsung Contact [...]

Batteries that last for months?
Tired of that laptop only running 3-4 hours on a single charge? how about a new power source being investigated. Nuclear batteries. They use alpha particle emissions to generate power, so they are as safe as your smoke detector at home. 1 cubic millimeter of polonium-210 could generate 50 milliwatts of power for 4 months. [...]
