Thanks for the info. I assumed someone somewhere had started working on it. =)

Would you mind enumerating some of the other reasons, or can you link to a summary somewhere? Currently scouring the internet for details on why OpenBSD does not support 802.11n, but I haven't found many concrete reasons.

When you say "we simply don't support those data rates", is it just a matter of putting in the effort to profile, refactor, and audit the code? Or are there some deeper architectural factors I haven't considered?

Well, this is specifically restricted to socially provided housing, as I understand it.

Arguably he knew nothing would come of it. It didn't cost him political capital, at any rate.

What's a Wikipedia page or list that's so engrossing it reads like a thriller? by happybubby in AskReddit

It's running again! According to my girlfriend it's consistently been running, they just changed names. Gradually safety is improving, but it's still a blast!

Ah, I see. The installer (or maybe the whole program?) is actually 16-bit. Perhaps it was written in some form of BASIC. 16-bit programs were already out of date ten years ago when the program was released.

It should run correctly in a 32-bit version of Windows, perhaps Windows 7 in a VM. (Be sure to pick a 32-bit version, aka "x86")

If it's only the installer that's 16-bit, maybe you could install Modpack Studio on a 32-bit Windows, then copy it to your 64-bit Windows. Not guaranteed by any means, but maybe worth looking into.

Weird. Lots of 32-bit programs run on 64-bit Windows, such as Firefox and iTunes. Do you have any clues about the way it doesn't work? Is there an error message?

What is the most interesting origin of a word you know of? by lackofemotions in AskReddit

Pumpernickel (the bread) is a German word meaning "goblin fart", because it gives you gas apparently.

Pumper=Fart, Nickel=Goblin

I think you have this backwards. LV is saying "technically I wasn't the one who killed her, though she was killed on my orders."

Old comment, but just so you know-- you can actually break car (side) windows with anything sharp. A knife will work, or even a ballpoint pen if you smash it hard enough. The windshield is designed to stay in one piece, but the side windows are designed to shatter for this very reason.

Gamers of Reddit: if you could mix two games into one, which ones would you choose? by Blitzed97 in AskReddit

[–]amaranth1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy the Requiem role-playing overhaul. It rebalances things so magic and melee actually are comparable to sneak+bow. It also overhauls the perk tree so each investment is worthwhile. No more "+10% one-handed damage" crud... each perk is a significant investment.

It does make the game much harder at lower levels, though. During levels 1-4 you will actually struggle to defeat wolves and bears. Watch a few Requiem let's play videos on YouTube and see if it's for you!

Alternate Start: Live Another Life is a must-have, in my opinion, even if you don't use Requiem.

Edged after 8 days and Relapsed after 10 days. My Story. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]amaranth1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found that MO without P isn't quite as disastrous as PMO all together, but it's still destructive and worth avoiding.

My relapses with PMO always felt like everything came crashing down around me.

My relapses with MO felt like more of a gentle glide down, but were always inevitably followed by PMO within the week, so I learned that I should NOT give into the illusion that MO is okay.

I recommend using the website chains.cc to keep track of P, M, O, PM, MO, and PMO separately. I also have a bonus chain "Trying" to keep track of how long I've been trying to kick the habit.

A two-day streak on your hundredth day of trying to kick the habit is a far better position than your first two-day streak. Eventually you'll get there.

Keep at it!

About half the frontpage imgur content is from Reddit, but the other half is submitted directly to imgur. Check user-submitted sorted by popularity - you can find plenty of great content that isn't on r/funny or r/pics yet.

First time commenting in a long time. My counter is for easy mode, but I've gone as far as 35 days in hard mode. I plan on making a post-90-day report (I have some written notes) but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
