USB Stick Raid

This looks like something worthwhile, the USB Stick Raid:

Necessary for the show:

1. A computer with a USB port (no monitor or other sissy stuff needed)
2. Gentoo Linux with some nerdtweaks
3. A USB HUB
4. Three (3) USB sticks: the sticks used in this utility are 128M sticks of different brands
5. Single lifestyle

This is quite modern, compared to the Floppy disk raid. But now you can turn all those 256meg vendor gifts into pure gold.

McDonalds needs to work on their Ad Placement

Wow, thoroughly funny, I hit the Stumble button and what popped up, but the story regarding Dawn Lawson and her story of being refused service at a McDonalds:

A Rockford woman claims she was denied service at two local McDonald’s because of her disability. Now she’s filed a lawsuit against the fast food chain. 13 News sat down with Dawn Larson to talk about the suit.

Dawn Larson was born with Holt-Oram Syndrome, a genetic disorder which causes abnormalities in the hands, arms, and heart. Her tiny hands are about 6 inches from her shoulders, so she does most things with her feet.

Now, that’s a pretty sad story of cold corporate cruelty, but then the hillarity ensued. Seems WREX, channel 13, where you can Learn more about your favorite 13 WREX personality, but seem to have no qualms with advertising on the story…

I think Mcdonald’s needs to give WREX a call or something… maybe.
