Got into a heated discussion on a social network about immigration reform. Let me just say: racism is alive and well in 2007. Watch for crosses burning, folks.
I drove for two hours to a distant Fry’s looking for a Gigabit USB adapter. Apparently they don’t sell them anymore. I guess it is kind of silly. Here you are attaching a device that can supposedly transfer data at a rate of 1000 megabits per second (2000 if you’re using full duplex) and it’ll get bottlenecked at a rate of 480 megabits per second because that’s the technical limit on the USB port. Still, it’s kind of a pain in the ass to watch files transfer from my desktop to my laptop at a measly 100 megabits per second over Fast Ethernet. How did people ever live with USB 1.1?
