Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. After almost every F1 race I watch, I think how dull it is, and how I'm not going to watch any more races. Then the next one comes along, and I think I'll watch it, because *this* one might be ...

I'm having some trouble at the moment. I've got a KVM host, which has a soundcard in it, and I'm trying to expose it to a guest. host # lspci | grep -i audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller ...

Just got back from my first trip to South East Asia. I decided to "dip my toe in the water" with Thailand, as it is meant to be a very easy country to travel around. I completely loved it. The people are amazing, it's hot, it's cheap, and there...
