In the first ever complaint from a *nix guy about Windows being too durned difficult, I give you today's post from Joat. Apparently in *nix there is a big neon sign somewhere that says “CLICK HERE TO CHANGE YOUR MAC ADDRESS!!!!!1111!!11“ so it's much more obvious, and nobody ever has to look up the instructions (or “the trick“ as it's called in the Windows world).
You can download a free utility to change a NIC's MAC address if you *nix guys find changing a single registry entry too “tricky“ for you.
(Come on, I haven't pissed anyone off all week. I have a quota to fill you know!)
