    It does but the OP is a fucking retard and doesn't know what he's doing.
    You shouldn't be using developmental releases unless you know how to fix shit douchebag.

    You mean there was a time when linux did something BESIDES mimick features found in other operating systems? Hate to break it to you but the only thing innovative about Linux was the license. It's always been a UNIX clone copying other people's features.

    Americans, tomorrow you will still not have a decent health care system

    While the GP makes a an admittedly lame joke about the date line, you launch into a bigoted ignorance fueled screed about health care. Yeah, I'll be sure to cry myself to sleep right after I walk into the doctor's office and get treated on the spot instead of put on a list for months to die waiting. I guess that's why the Canadians make it such a point of hopping the border to come take advantage of our [in]decent health care.

    BWAhahahaha. Arrogant condescending pricks like you are funny. Pathetic and sad, but funny. Why don't you reply to this and log in so I can mark you foe and never see your simple-minded bigotry again? Please?

    This is Open Source.

    It's up to you to fix it and send the fix to X.Org.

    LOL, and yet lin-sux cannot play a flash video at full screen without stuttering. Perhaps you imbeciles should spend less time adding NUMA support to your crappy kernel and more time writing actual working video drivers. In the meantime, those of us who use our computers to get real work done will continue to use Windows 7 and OS X.
