Comment on Not schadenfreude at all… by James Young

Actually, there was a recent effort to prosecute someone “for lies and neglect of responsibility.” The Senate split 50-50 and acquitted Bill Clinton of the Articles of Impeachment, while Democrat and their willing accomplices in the media were telling us how it was an effort to “prosecute[ him] for the affair[].”.

Comment on Grumble, Intel Atom 330 is close, but not quite there by Anon

All very well and good but if you get stuck with the Realtek RTL8111 onboard GB network card forget about running xen on Linux! No network connectivity or at least broken network connectivity. For some reason, the driver for this network card likes to drop packets but worse still, the xen network bridging process overwrites the MAC address of the onboard ethernet card with FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. Result, an unusable system if you want any sort of network connectivity. Will the Linux community ever get a good and working driver (R8169) to go with this motherboard / onboard ethernet card? If they do then great, you can run xen and multiple guests on what is without doubt a very cheap solution and low power to boot. If not, there are plenty of better options out there.

Comment on Pool is nearly ready for swimming by snolan

I think it’s exciting, and besides, I was hoping someone who knows pool chemistry better than I do might comment.

I think there is a HUGE difference between bowel movement blogging and logging pool and aquarium water test results. If you do not, then we disagree on something.

You still living a permanent vacation? I am jealous of your ski/scuba instructing circuit…

This was worth telling the world about for what reason? You might as well give us a run-down of your bowel movements for the past week.

Sounds like fun; but as non-voters we are inclined to withhold high offices and titles for now, though perhaps positions in the ministry of fun and games can be found for you! Shenandoah River sounds like great fun after all.

Unbeknownst to us both, I was obeying your edict today in the Shenandoah River (which is also, alas, why I did not vote today).

If you’ve not done so, you should check out the wines from Rockbridge Vineyard (in central VA). Good stuff.
