Santa Fe group allergic to RF wants WiFi banned

Wireless has changed the world. I’ll give it up only if you pry it from my cold, dead hands. We may have to make a leper colony for these people. We’ll call it the “dead zone”.

As far as I’m concerned, Weezer hasn’t released a single good track since Pinkerton. However, this video starring a TON of Internet Celebrities from that horrible song off their new album is actually quite good. I especially like the “Daft Hands” and “Daft Bodies” people.

I need this! At the very least, it’ll annoy Ryan and Kyro and make it all worthwhile.

andLinux:

If you’ve ever wanted to run Linux applications and Windows applications at the same time, this may be just what you’re looking for.

A full-featured Ubuntu installation runs behind windows, allowing the screen to be shared by applications from both environments seamlessly. Ubuntu even gets its own “Start Menu” down near the clock to make it easy to find applications from either platform.

I’m sure many of you would prefer to see Windows inside of Linux instead of the other way around, but, for many, this will beat using NoMachine and two separate computers, and really beats dealing with Dual-Boot.

What do you get when you combine the nerdiness of a Tesla Coil and the dorkiness of nostalgia for a 20 year old video game? Something far, far greater than you could ever imagine.

(many minutes later)

Melissa: i totally hate that.
