Even geeks hose their machines from time to time.

I think I'll wait until it gets shoe-horned into the kernel. I wouldn't want to be responsible for the next Tsunami.

11:21 AM EST 		I was surprised to learn that I am 5 kernel releases behind current. Guess you get complacent when things work pretty well and you've got other things to do, but...

My family relies on MythTV and interent streamed video, etc. Sure would be nice to watch the pretty HD shows over the wifi while commercial flag is going, etc, etc.

Better still - Wonder if it will help even a little with Hulu streaming? Probably not, but... Looks like I'm going to have to scratch my head a few times, and remember how to build+patch a kernel.

I am continuously surprised at all the goodies I discover in a new Kernel but then again, I wait until it's dumb-and-dumber to do. I mean, I have done individual patches in the past...

Oh, the Humanity.

As long as you were finally able to view fullscreen Flash-vids without glitches for the first time in your life, it's OK to neglect such unimportant tiny minor details.

dino: Interesting how life becomes boring when your current kernel just works, aye?
