    @spaceman37: In this case, MIPS stands for "My Interwebs Proceed Slowly"


    I'll wait for the Beta 9000 MIPS.

    @misterx231: Bite your mother. Kick your kid.


    You shouldn't bite your kid because 8 year-olds bite back. They know that they can stand to lose a baby tooth; it gives them "no fear".

    @OMG! Ponies!: I skimmed past your comment *way* too fast and saw "Lick your kid." for a split second, and seriously thought, OMG, OMG! Ponies!, what the hell has happened to you!?" LOL

    The problem with 802.11b is that one device 802.11b running on an 802.11b/g network will slow the entire network to 802.11b speeds. So you're likely to see 80211b capability going by the wayside. Also, the rest of the specs mean this will remain strictly a Linux machine.
