Ok, question for you guys: I'm going to set up a private subnet for 4 physical boxes, + 2 VMs each (on average). so about 10 devices on it, if I go nuts/expand a little bit.
Reason being(on why I like dd/open-wrt): the wireless stack (if you flash it) is exactly the same as the linux wireless stack without any "vendor tweaks". Read as 0 inter-op bugs...at least so far for me. Plus neat features if you get one with a big enough chunk of memory.
@wisemonkey they started stripping the memory size on the L series then too

@jrg It's a little more expensive than a $20 wal-mart router, but it gets you loads of features and it's flashable with the full feature set: google.com/products/…
valid point. if I needed Gigabit, I'ld get a refurb commercial switch and tack that on to the hardware to be acquired list
if you're buying the router from a vendor you can get on the phone, make sure to check the FCC-ID against the one on the dd-wrt supported hardware page. they've done some funny things with trying to push DRM/flash protection in to their routers. I have a couple 'Extra' routers laying around b/c I failed to do this once.
@jokerdino neat. another way to handle that a little more efficiently would be to use try/except/raise so the first non-matching value causes it to break out of the loop ... I'm not being critical. Good job.

After installing natty, my resolution is being set to 1024x768 instead of the proper 1368x768. The Monitors program doesn't allow me to set my resolution higher. I looked around for a solution, and I found instructions on using xrandr to set a new resolution:
xrandr --newmode "1368x768_60.00" ...

The file /etc/rc.local should looks like:
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bit...

@JoshuaRobison gyp. The cross-platform build configuration system is called gyp, and on Linux it generates Makefiles. Running gyp is analogous to the ./configure step seen in most other software.
the only time i used the "real" logo was precise, because i cannot draw anything that looks like a pangolin. ;)
@jokerdino today isn't that interesting to me (except for the evening sessions, which i cannot listen to, because i need a couple of hours sleep a day :D)

@jokerdino I think the method of the solution is viable, but the why is wrong. If the driver and the hardware both try and remember state, then it's possible they could get out of sync. Sounds like a problem with binary drivers that aren't written horribly well(the binary component). It has happened to some wireless cards that get stuck hard-blocked. I didn't need to re-install the driver though.
I know what mine would have been like: Really, really, boring, non-technical, and I'd be flipping burgers this summer instead of working on awesome stuff that might change the world
@Mahesh yeaaaaahh,, feels greaaaaat! I used EASEUS Partition Manager and deleted all ubuntu partitons with grub! :-) and installed 10.10 and 11.10, and now running like a river, and kicked windows 7 out! now XP and ubuntu live in peace!

Empathy's "Ubuntu" Theme Is quite attractive.
Is there any way of using empathy themes on pidgin(specifically the Ubuntu Theme)?
