I came across this on engadget, today.  That's an impulse buy, right?

Oh, yeah, Happy Thanksgiving.

What do you consider room temperature?  I'm thinking 72°F, but some of my family members insist that it's closer to 65°F.

Wikipedia says (citing the American Heritage dictionary):

Room temperature, in common usage, is taken to be roughly 20-25 degrees Celsius (68-77 degrees Fahrenheit, 528-537 Rankine, or 293-298 Kelvin).

Anyway.. I suppose it's time to break out the portable heater.

How do you disable it in Ubuntu Edgy?  Well, the only way seems to be renaming or deleting agpgart.ko.  /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist does not work.

Anyone have a better idea?

Update: Yes.  Apparently the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist only works if the module being loaded is not a dependency.  So, for this instance, intel-agp was loading agpgart.  Putting agpgart in the blacklist didn't work, but adding intel-agp did.

Apparently we taste like bacon.

A US company that shut down its website because it was overwhelmed by millions of people looking for YouTube has sued the online video-sharing portal.

Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment Corporation said the cost of hosting its website - utube.com - has grown significantly in the last two months.

Hmm..

Several nifty photos on that site.  Definitely worth checking it out.

I removed the last DNS hacks and tunnels the other day.. so my connection to Xicada is officially terminated, permanently.  It was fun while it lasted, but lately, it's just been a nusance.  Why, you ask?

• Nobody (besides Conte) wanted to run BGP
• Most of my tunnels were down 90% of the time, anyway
• I need the freedom to route certain networks out specific egress points (w/out disrupting anyone else's connectivity)
• Nobody really cared, anymore ...
• You probably didn't ask why

Ah well.
