Hawking Technologies HWP54G Sucks
Never buy this wireless card, or anything from Hawking Technologies. I'm using it on Win XP SP2, and it:

1) Tries to install an unknown PCI device in addition to the wireless adapter
2) Drops the signal as soon as it connects. The only way I can get it to connect and stay connected is if I happen to hit "enable" or "disable" (haven't figured out which yet) on my network adapter as it's going through its neverending cycle of connect/disconnect (which occurs every time I reboot).

Do not buy the Hawking Technologies HWP54G. It has problems. It is broken. There is no updated driver. Hawking Technologies will not give you adequate tech support. Furthermore, this is what I found on their web page:

"HWP54G IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY - WRONG DRIVER"

Apparantly they shipped it with the wrong driver. However the driver I downloaded from their site was the exact same driver it shipped with. Nifty, eh?

Don't buy the shit. Spend a few more bucks and get something from LinkSys or USR, or some company that's more than just a fly-by-night OEM hardware vendor.

The Easter Bunny Hates You
Well, looky here. No one has posted in a month.

We're pathetic. Actually, we're not pathetic. We're so busy and involved in our productive lives, we can't be bothered to post to Daily Traversal. We aren't even taking the time to surf the internet! Some of us haven't even checked our e-mail for weeks!

Okay, that's a total lie.

In honor of Easter, I present to you a video. At which you will laugh. I promise.

The Easter Bunny Hates You!

UPDATE: See? I told you: Easter Bunny Removes Head, Punches Woman
