    My soul is proprietary, thank-you-very-much. (Under an exclusive license, at that. ;))

    Damn motherboard blew (volt-regulator poped... literally) and its been 3 weeks so far w/ no new one comming in!

    BTW, does anyone know how to Overclock a GeForce 5600 in Linux? Haven't found anything yet...
    Why do I get the impression that your motherboard problem wasn't entirely unprovoked? ;-)

    here it is:

    #include "stdio.h"
    #define s 1
    #define o 1
    #define u 1
    #define r 1
    #define c 1
    #define e printf("You won't get any source. Go away!\n -- signed: NVidia\n")

    main()
    {
    s - o - u - r - c - e - s;
    }
    Enjoy...

    Feh. You missed this one:

    * Currently, there are drivers for both Linux and FreeBSD.

    See - Nvidia confirms it: *BSD is *not* dying after all! ;)

  6. Proprietary, yes... by Kjella · · Score: 4, Funny

    But does the IP belong to you, or to God? (or Allah or whatever. I assume that since you believe to have a soul, you also believe in some form of God) I think you got a time-limited lease on it. A run-time licence perhaps? And I don't want to get into the physics of it, being a derivative work of your parents and all...

      I don't really care who the IP belongs to... as long as I'm allowed to redistribute it freely.

      'Cause I have!

    I think you missed the point here. nVidia released BSD drivers so we can all watch it die in realtime at 248 fps in 1600x1200 on a 21" monitor!
