Grah. Meetings.

[silveradept]

Got an early start tomorrow, so this will be brief and not very link-filled at all.

Sunday - work shift. Quiet. Went out to dinner with family. Spent rest of night trying to get wireless to work with annaonthemoon. Failed. Miserably. Tried to get her to be able to pull it off. Either way, going to bed before frustration level mounts to unacceptable portions.

It appears that Linux in general has nasty problems with that particular wireless card. If things get too frustrating, I may just tell her that she's stuck with Windows. Certainly will save me headaches.

Meeting tomorrow about Rules of Behavior and other such thigns. Huz.

The only thing Windows/Microsoft does better than Linux is market control.

This, unfortunately, leads to hardware manufacturers only bothering (in many cases) to write drivers for the Windows kernel, hence reducing the compatibility of said hardware for Linux (until the community writes drivers for it themselves). This is not a flaw with Linux, except in that it is a "flaw" of any system which has less market penetration than its rivals (see also, for example, the range of things designed to work with iPods vs the many other digital music players which are just as good or better, but have less market share).
