We don't need to be super flexible after all
Looks like being a little "tight" in the hamstring can even make you a more efficient runner. NY Times.

Trying to get rid of Windows 7 freezing every few seconds after it goes to sleep and then wakes up.
Best theories I can find on the Net all correctly point out that if the computer never goes to sleep no problem. So clearly something is being turned off in a weird way that's causing problems. Two main options for me to pursue:
a) Just tried going to the adapter settings and turning off the computer's ability to power off the cards to see if indeed it's a PCI-E bus power down issue.
b) If that doesn't work, did just note that my LAN drivers are from Microsoft and not from the install disc I used so I'd try doing different drivers if this keeps up.

Found out the problem - it's my external tuner card. It gets into some weird state. If I pull the mini-usb card out then the hang goes away...hoping the latest driver update from Windows update fixes the issue.

Arg...Windows 7 card reader working slowly...
The only thing that doesn't seems to be working on my new Windows 7 clean install seems to be:
- A flash card reader I have installed on my desktop machine and plugged into a chipset USB connection is running at USB 1.1 speeds, instead of 2.0 speeds. What's up? If I connect an external USB card reader to an externally connected USB hub I get 2.0 speeds.
- Upon waking from sleep my computer seems to pause every few seconds...For now I'm just not letting it go to S3 for now.
