    Intel+Linux is for those who cannot afford real computer.

    Mod me as troll, but that's just how it is in real life.

  2. we don't need no stinkin' drivers by justins · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    It's not that we don't know how to create a binary api with padding structures out, and offering up new functions, it's the fact that because we have the source to all of our drivers, we do not have to.

    This is really circular nonsense thinking.

    1. Some people can't make binary drivers because there's no "binary api" (he meant ABI?), but...
    2. We don't need a "binary api," we have the source to "all our drivers"

    Well duh. You have the source to "all your drivers" because the vast majority of people who would like to distribute binary drivers have given up on Linux. Congratulations on that.

    Incidentally, props to the Sun guy for having the balls to make his blog open to public comment. The Linux guy seems to have his setup as read-only. Loser.
