I've just been fiddling with a Toshiba laptop for a presentation I'll be
doing next week - the wireless card contained therein is working perfectly
with Knoppix.

you should have worried *before* buying it 8-)

In the future, please use tinyurl.com if you're going to paste a really
long link. Thanks. :-)

It should, at least that's my opinion. I'm assuming you opted for one
of the integrated Intel wireless network cards. I'm not sure if
Slackware includes those drivers by default or not, but you can find
information on them here.

Actually, I'd personally prefer if people didn't use services like
tinyurl.com. :-) IMO, long URLs should be an exception to the standard
72 character line netiquette. (Although in an ideal, RFC compliant
world, the URL should be able to be line wrapped within < > tags and
'just work' in all news clients.) I'd much prefer a long URL and know
where it's pointed towards.

Subscirbe.

The day tinyurl.com is down or totally gone there will be a lot of
useless links at groups google.

This has always been my concern as well. Are the specs known for how tinyurl
creates it's links? What will happen if and when tinyurl disappears into the
ether?

The code after tinyurl.com is just a number, they started counting from
day one and is still counting. The number refers to a URL in tinyurls
database, and only tinyurl know which.

> What will happen if and when tinyurl disappears into the ether?

As only tinyurl knows what link the code/number refers to all tinyurl
link will be totally useless.

But someone must have found a way to predict how the next tinyurl would
be and has created links like these.

Perhaps when that time comes someone with the requisite space will adopt
the database and domain for legacy purposes.

Well then maybe tinyurl has a purpose after all. Not a noble one but
a pupose none the less.
