My wife’s Windows XP laptop apparently does not understand Airport Extreme’s WPA security or something. It shows outside like an open network while it needs a password and I’m pretty sure of it. I spent almost an hour for this shit. I’m done with Windows, hopefully forever. That collection of carbage supposedly used by over 90% of average end-users has worse config screens (that are all needed, by the way) than your typical open source hack for system admins.

Repeated until you start to think there must be something wrong with you<\/i> while in fact it’s always<\/i> the so-called operating system and its failed design.<\/p>\n
