stupidity

Is it me or has the whole country taken a vow of stupidity. I have noticed more and more that little things just go unnoticed, for example using the word to instead of too. "the drink is to hot" the drink is WHAT going to a place called hot!!! ( one of my pet hates ). 90 odd percent of the population read the sun and mirror to get their news, erm I am sorry but I struggled to find any "news" in the Sun the last time I read it, it was all about celebrities saying or doing things they probably never said or did, followed by sport whilst the whole time real news goes un reported ~crazyness!! People get into cars and forget how to drive, they get on the subway and forget basic manners I am beginning to think that the majority of the population have infact given up on free thought and prefer to have someone else ( the Sun ) do it for them. This idea does truly scare the sh!t out of me!!

aha, Eel proof boat :)

ok resolution d'oh my own silly fault should have looked at xconf all sorted now. Couldn't play dvds properly, again user error I forgot to put libdvdcss2 on the machine, silly mistake. Started to look into wifi issue, strange thing is it sometimes connects. I ran NetworkManager in the terminal so I could see the output of what it was trying to do and voila there it is the reason it fails is that it timesout whilst trying to authenticate with the router. Didn't have time to look in more detail so I am not sure if its a problem with the router or the wifi device ( I think its the wfi device ) there may be an issue with regards WPA support of the zd1211 driver I am using.
