Bill Stubbs writes "NVIDIA has admitted to a killer bug in all GeForce 8800GTX/GTS cards, and will recall all affected cards and replace them. 'An NVIDIA engineer, who wishes to remain anonymous, has just clued us in on the whole deal. This engineer claims that while allegations of poor gaming performance are correct, the reason is not really poor drivers. Brace yourself for the truth: Right after the G80 was taped out, NVIDIA discovered a bug in the vertex shader that causes the GPU to generate slightly incorrect geometry transformation data. The difference was minimal enough to escape attention but it was significant enough to render a scene incorrectly.' The article also links to a secret website which will allow gamers to purchase Nvidia cards at cost."
If you don't know what GPL and GNU are for, GTFO.
If you think Firefox is a decent GNU/Linux application, GTFO.
If you're still looking for the Control Panel, GTFO.
If you don't know Tux from SCO, GTFO.
Bandwagon jumpers are not welcome among real GNU/Linux users. Keep your filthy Windows fingers to yourself.
yeah april fools but I bet slashdot are aching to use digg style systems. It is embarrassingly microsoft the way the broken website of slashdot has been trying to claw back. (unless of course, as april fools as it seems the dig style ratings aren't april fools! lol, it has been over a year since I came here, just wanted to see what pityful excuse they put up for april fools)
How embarrassing is 'tags' *beta* on a tech website?
I think if they didn't spend years implementing a broken captcha system there might be some actual point visiting here.
I can't really remember by password, and this has been my first post in a long long time.
slashdot.org -1 redundant!
Anyone else only visits slashdot on april fools day now?
