A Roomful of Meth-Addicted Monkeys
,----[ Quote ]
| During a quiet period my colleague and I
| happened to find ourselves comparing notes
| on our company-supplied laptops: Dell
| Latitude E6500s. My colleague, let's call
| him Diglio, runs Windows 7 on his, and I am
| running Kubuntu 10.04. We were just sitting
| ourselves down in an empty conference room
| to take advantage of the CMU wireless to
| check our email.
|
| Diglio opened his laptop, which had been
| suspended, and nothing happened. Well, sort
| of. The fan came on, but not the screen.
| Nothing he could do would turn the screen
| on, he had to reboot.
|
| Watching that I said, "That happens to me
| sometimes too. I thought it was the Linux
| power management tools that were screwing
| up. Do you sometimes close the lid to
| suspend, stick the laptop back in your case
| only to find a very hot laptop a bit later
| when you realize that it didn't suspend
| properly as well?"
|
| "Yep".

Chickens Come Home to Roost

| This also indicates that those who tried
| GNU/Linux are happy enough to keep using it
| and they do not value the need for support
| from Novell highly and more continue to ask
| for GNU/Linux. GNU/Linux is simple, modular
| and reliable.

Karmic Tablets...
,----[ Quote ]
| So, for Christmas this year, I was delighted
| to finally receive a Trust TB 5300 graphics
| tablet. Even after I asked my parents for
| this, I wasn't actually sure I'd be able to
| use the thing with GNU/Linux. I had visions
| of having to take a crash course in C and X
| programming in order to get the thing to
| work.
|
| I needn't have worried - the nice thing about
| the GNU/Linux world is that its users tend to
| blog about getting unusual bits and bobs
| working on the operating system, and this was
| no exception.
|
| [...]
|
| Both Inkscape and The GIMP work fine; even
| pressure sensitivity functioning as expected.
| I didn't even need to callibrate the tablet
| as it worked fine out of the box.
