I suspect recentish versions of Windows still have the driver available, just not installed by default.

However the article is about falsehoods programmers believe about LANs. If you are writing some kind of driver and assume all traffic you receive is IP traffic and don't verify the header, you are going to have a bad time.

IPX/SPX is not IP based.

In metric, 19.2km of driving burns 4.5 litres of petrol?

Is that right? That seems absurdly high even for a large ute.

From memory (I haven't lived in NZ for a while now), the WoF check could be done at VTNZ stations, which explicitly did not do repairs to avoid this conflict of interest.

Alas, it looks like VTNZ was privatised and the exact outcome you would expect happened.

A set of tools to making setting up, joining and using a Samba domain on Linux much much easier.

This started with https://github.com/edward-murrell/sambervise - a GTK tool for admining Samba users and groups. I'm currently building a tool that walks a user through setting up a domain, adding DCs, and configuring fileservers and workstations.

In the TODO is making NFSv4 integration with Samba as painless as possible, and some kind of GUI application.

Done, for what it's worth. Krbtray doesn't have much in the way of a GUI to show though!

Good point, I'll do that.

If that is the entirety of their training regime, I will simultaneously be amazed and change my opinion.

However, I still maintain that if someone is _only_ doing 8 minutes of HIIT 3x times a week, it is not equivalent of a getting 150 minutes of regular exercise per week.

Without further context, it's impossible to comment further.

Fair enough, I don't think it changes my the conclusion though.

On that basis, I would say that someone whose entire exercise regime is doing HIIT a few times a week for 8 minutes (24 minutes in total) is not going to be hitting the 6x multipler required for an equivalent of regular 150 minutes of exercise.

tl;dr; Nope.

Assuming that HIIT workouts are 100% vigorous activity (unlikely), then a "few" instances would only add up to around 24 minutes of vigorous activity, which is far short of the minimum recommended 75 minutes of vigorous activity.

If you are short on time then performing HIIT for 15 minutes five days a week will get you much closer to the minimum requirements.

> Men aren't allowed to have male-only gyms but women do

Is that legally true? AFAICT, nobodies opening male-only gyms because there's no demand for them.

I guess it depends if you are after a club with men to help you climb some status ladder, or if you are after a club that helps you make male friends, regardless of where they come from.
