My generalization stems from the number of comments with peers and countless internet searches for fixes.

In the case of peers, wireless card support was a common complaint.

In the case of searching, looking around the forums will give you a pretty good idea that wireless card support is pretty bad. I bought a standard Belkin wireless card from the local Staples. It should have worked, but didn't.

Yes, I think it's pretty broken.

These annoyances don't seem to be all that critical. I haven't been able to use my wireless card on Gutsy since I installed it several months ago.

Last night, I upgraded to Heron and voila, my wireless card is recognized and functional.

Annoyances aside, making Ubuntu's very broken wireless driver support a little less broken makes installing Heron much more appealing than previous versions.

We might live in a computer simulation and it might be too computationally expensive for our simulators to simulate our world post-singularity.

That's an awful lot of "mights".

The Startup Curve 18 years ago

I would have thought there'd be a few more wiggles of false hope just before the trough of sorrow. You know, to make the trough of sorrow that much deeper and painful!

I don't know, a lot of these guidelines seem to be arbitrary. It's good practice to keep code small and to the point, but to say that a class should never exceed 50 lines of code is a little too exact and makes the whole list a bit suspect.

This is incredibly insightful advice. Almost accidentally, I've found that recursively asking "why?" results in very unexpected answers. And by unexpected I mean insightful.

Hey - I work in Portland, ME. Shoot me an email? john at quotesignal dot com - I'd love to catch up with you guys.

I'm not entirely sure what problem you're trying to solve. Are you trying to "fix" the impression that PG-pandering is present so more outsiders make their way into the community?

I don't particularly care if PG gets tons of karma. I love the submissions, comments and community here.

I think it's best to just let it be exactly the way it is, even if there's some pandering.

I don't think you could succeed. First of all your self-abasing statement that you could succeed except for DH2 is an obvious ploy to catch us off guard. Nice try.

Secondly, I don't like your tone. Not one bit, sir. Who, exactly are you to try arguing using all 7 categories? Oh, you're a hacker you say? Well, of course a hacker would think they could argue using all 7 categories! I stand corrected!

p.s.ur gay.

(I think you might be right, it IS hard to use all 7 categories and remain coherent).
