I'm still happy. It wanders a bit from topic, but I eventually gave away stacks of Broadcom based WRTSL54GS wifi routers because their closed source driver was stuck at linux 2.4 and I needed 2.6 for some attached hardware. That went on for years. Having everything that runs on the host CPU open means things like this can't happen. Much better than a plastic mule.
Even further afield… When my first daughter was 3 or 4 we got her a magic wand for her birthday. A plastic star on the end of a plastic stick. She was thrilled, pointed it at her grandmother and said "I turn you into a bug!". She was crushed when it didn't work. Rather spoiled the whole day for her. She assures us she was going to turn her back.
- Nursie 14y agoTrue, BUT, it doesn't look there was really very much to it anyway, so while I wouldn't be jumping up and down cursing at them over this, I'd hardly call it an impressive achievement either.
- andrewflnr 14y agoThe bit about your daughter keeps cracking me up. That that would be the first thing she would try... Thanks.
