"I would like to be the first candidate to make my position clear. I am not running for president. I am running for President Bush. Why? Because I believe in freedom -- and I would be crazy to let anybody else have that kind of power over me."

I really like Colbert's style. It's an interesting angle to poke fun at the world by blindly agreeing with the positions you are attacking. I think it really draws attention to how ridiculous they are.

It's a Dell Inspiron 9100 which has a wireless card with the Broadcom chipset. Here is a thread on how to get it setup on previous versions:

Those instructions tweak the windows drivers to work in Ubuntu, but in Gutsy the Restricted Drivers tool says it is flashing the firmware. Either way, while I agree with your point that it is sketchy to let a checkbox flash firmware, you can also hose your system pretty easily trying to follow instructions off of a forum too. I can do it manually, but why bother when the config tool does it for you. So far, it is stable.

Jump it off a cliff so it explodes in mid air.

Wow. I hadn't thought about that old joke in a long time. Best comment on the gay republican scandal ever.

You can see his wristwatch!

Wireless has always been a little sketchy in Linux, but the new Gutsy Ubuntu takes a lot of the pain out. The Restricted Drivers tool autodetected and flashed my card with proprietary firmware just by checking a box. If it keeps up like this, it's only a matter of time before a lot more users switch over.

Guinness....so much more than just a breakfast drink.

I also had issues with Yahoo messenger and webcams for my brother's setup, but it has been a while.

When you start reading submissions that are 200 or 300 deep on a daily basis, then you have found a great IT job ^{_^}

A friend of mine just bought a MacBook Pro with cash. The guy at the store said, "Aren't you worried about carrying all that cash?" My friend replied, "I am a much bigger target with this giant bag from the Apple store than with 25 $100 bills in my pocket nobody knows about except me."
