I find blue to be the worst to focus with. That may be because my sources of blue light are not sufficiently narrow band in the spectrum. Being spread out over the spectrum, it basically comes in fuzzy. Blue is also lower in contrast.
Green (be it green on black or yellow on red or even cyan on blue) is better.
Red seems to be the best in terms of focusing a sharp defining edge. You get red contrast with red on black or yellow on green or magenta on blue. Human eyes have different sensitivities for different colors. The most sensitive color for human eyes is green since we have higher number of cones sensitive to that spectrum.
Try to get two lasers, one green and the other red, with exactly same output power and beam width. The green laser beam will look more intense to you than the red.
Try http://www.virtualbox.org/, if you want free and open source virtualisation software. Yeah, and uses Intel VT-x or AMD-V processor extensions. Runs very fast on my Turion X2.
Actually, what TFA doesn't say is that the Vista driver instability was done intentionally because they were sick and tired of listening to us Linux users complain. s/to us Linux users/to us ubuntu lame users/
- - As there are more ubuntu users than any other distro I guess this will be modded down
The automatic adjustment was probably not caused by the driver. Looking at nvidia-drivers README
13C. DYNAMIC TWINVIEW
Using the NV-CONTROL X extension, the display devices in use by an X screen, the mode pool for each display device, and the MetaModes for each X screen can be dynamically manipulated. The "Display Configuration" page in nvidia-settings uses this functionality to modify the MetaMode list and then uses XRandR to switch between MetaModes. This gives the ability to dynamically configure TwinView.
More seriously, I rag on Nvidea for poor Linux support, and this is more of a chance to bash them, but their drivers work fine under XP. Poor Linux support?
With my nVidia Geforce 8400 in my Linux laptop:
* Both GPU and CPU clocks are dynamic (Powermizer enabled) and I can see those clocks and temperature on my desktop using a applet. * I never had problems with openGL games. * I'm running compiz very smoothly. * I use nvidia-settings for easily changing twin-view (screen layout) settings on the fly. * I can use my laptop video hotkey for changing the screen layout automatically. * I can suspend (to memory) my laptop. * I never had a nvidia related crash.
Now, I know what I'm talking about, not just flaming!
So their plan is to reduce Linux to a single company, then deal with that company Good point! Although it is very difficult to resume Linux, GNU and all the community as a single atom. So we should all be cool with that since Micro$oft will go nowhere thinking in that manner.
But.. Am I the only one thinking that this is another step of Micro$oft to divide the Linux community?

1. Open a benchmark website put ads on them. 2. Call Intel and say they will have better score in trade of CPUs for the tests. 3. Buy AMD CPUs with ads money.
4. Profit!!

Is AMD Dead Yet?

· Score: 1, Interesting
IMHO AMD Athlon/Turion 64 X2 chips are still very great chips, although they are not the *fastest* in the market. It is too bad that most of people only look at benchmarks for evaluating CPUs, specially when most of the major benchmarks out there are *owned* by the market itself.
Looking at most of my friends who have core 2 duo laptops mostly with Vista, I'm still impressed how buggy the Centrino technology is. They get BSOD and cold reboots when turning on the wireless card or even when they are actually doing nothing! I'm sure most of you will say: "-Hey dude, it's windows!". But, might it be windows fault?
I own a Turion64 X2 + nForce + Geforce laptop. This hardware combination is awesome, the system is always smooth even under heavy cpu or hdd I/O. I never had a machine hardware exception, no overheat nor compatibility problems. What I would want more? Nothing. I would not trade this laptop by any superior Core 2 Duo solution.
And why average Joe cares having a fast multi-core CPU when all his applications are word, excel, mostly single threaded programs?
If you are only curious (as me) about the level of scandal this could be, you could only download about 2% of the archive and then use the zip "Fix" heuristics to reconstruct the entire archive. On UNIXes simply type:
$ zip -FF 0.zip
Now what?.. Who will build the Britney Spears face/pu**y recognition algorithm?
(Which ironically has more compatibilty and application problems than Vista, and yet only supports 1/1000th the software or hardware.) (Geesh Again) More "compatibilty" and application problems? You certainly are not aware that Macs are UNIX workstations! What about the massive availability of OSS? Mac users please correct me if I'm wrong..
And Vista has less vulnerabilities than anything else? Good for you, too bad you have a useless OS.. *sniff*

I agree. We should be all happy because we actually have freedom on what distro to choose.
I personally don't like this kind of news fomenting wars between opensource projects.
