That's why Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 are pc only, why Portal was such a major flop that nobody has ever heard of and why there are currently over 2 million people playing multi-player on steam as well as millions playing eve-online, everquest 2, Guildwars, Puzzle Pirates, Star Trek Online, War Hammer, etc, etc..
So what you're saying is, "It doesn't matter that for years ATI's drivers have been a unstable pieces of shit. We should forget all that and spend $100s of dollars and waste hours of time trying to get it working right because at least they tried by throwing some code over the wall."
Sorry dude but that is complete bullshit. A stable driver is EXPECTED. Nvidia can do it, ATI can do it too, but they don't so they're putting out the code and expect other people to fix their mess for free.
Why exactly do we have to reward them? Does run the latest high performance games yet? Does it run them fast? Can I use it with wine?
This is the same kind of thinking that came with OpenMoko. Open Source advocates buy the hardware but it doesn't actually work yet assuming it would be. Years later it still doesn't work right and they've stopped producing or even working on it.
It's not measuring google searches. It's measuring sites that are mention to specific keyword you put in. The idea is that you look at the trends and what everyone is talking about.
It won't become a mainstream OS until it's widely available in brick stores, and I mean like in every store. Consider this, Apple has their own branded stores worldwide, do TV ad campaigns and they only have a pathetic 5% on stat counter. The fact that Linux has 0.7% with absolutely no advertising is amazing in itself.
Would that be before or after the US blows up said country to hell and shoots everyone? Seriously dude, when the fuck has the US ever parked a "hospital ship" or did you get that mixed up with "hostile ship"?
Rather then use radar you'd probably be better going with a camera system and IR lamp (for working at night). To fit your requirement you're probably going to have to go with a solar powered system with a battery which all has to be tamper proof. You probably want all these systems to be connected some how so that they can feed live data in which case you're need some kind of mesh networking capability.
I'd start with the following OSS projects.. OLSR - For the mesh networking. iSpy - For the motion detection, plus you'll probably have to modify this project a lot to compute speed.
You're going to have to encrypt the communication. If your goal is to get the government to install these then I would first talk to the police and government because you may end up making something that is totally useless for them.
Your biggest challenge is going to be with the hardware. Making it cheap enough, and most importantly low power is going to be a REAL challenge.
With all that said. Wouldn't it just be cheaper to pay people to go out with radar guns then come up with something automated?
People have sued MMOs since UO and possibly meridian 59. Everquest had lawsuits over trivial things such as in game items. So far it hasn't stopped the industry yet, they probably just have a lawyer on payroll anyway.
I think self responsibility is a greater trait to instil. This is the kind of person that blames everyone and thing but themselves for their own problems.
Bugs are apart of software as a whole. Every program open or closed is vulnerable to some kind of bug. The difference being however that with linux bugs I tend to hear about them after I already downloaded the fix.
It's already available for download. I gave ubuntu as an example however I'm pretty sure other distributions have also already provided the update too.
That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. So if I said the whole ocean is red because this swimming pool has red dye in it then it must be true too, amirite?
Stop letting your fanaticism cloud your judgement.

Perhaps because I wasn't here when the tsunami happened. Thanks.

You go girl, i'm sure they'll read your email and not just simply delete and forget about it.
So he reported it to them a year ago but it has been left for two years... uh, what?

do you work for Oracle? Otherwise stating what is and isn't safe when you don't have the authority over if they sue or not isn't very convincing.
No, it's simply a small piece of evidence that Linux gets fixed faster then windows does.
People have sued MMOs since UO and possibly meridian 59. Everquest had lawsuits over trivial things such as in game items. So far it hasn't stopped the industry yet, they probably just have a lawyer on payroll anyway.

Cue Oracle patent lawsuit in 3....2.....1....
Actually the GPL3 has patent wavier in it so it isn't just a license to do with copyright.

Race?
The most popular distros already patched it days ago and others are currently in testing.
Redhat patched it 2 days ago.
Ubuntu patched it 2 days ago.
Fedora is currently testing the patches. Not sure if it's already live.
Debian Lenny has patched it.
See my post further down..

It's already available for download. I gave ubuntu as an example however I'm pretty sure other distributions have also already provided the update too.
So I read the PDF...
which is the patch.. "Patch "mm: keep a guard page below a grow-down stack segment" has been added to the 2.6.32-stable tree"
and meanwhile my ubuntu update managaer pops up and shows an update for the kernel and gives the following link to the changelog...
http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/2.6.32-24.41/+changelog
Nice to see people are on the ball with security updates, even if it shouldn't have been happened in the first place.
That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. So if I said the whole ocean is red because this swimming pool has red dye in it then it must be true too, amirite?

Google Docs, you fail.
There's no way you'd be finished writing a serious app with webGL before firefox 4 comes out so your point is moot.

Wow what a good sample of the web. 132 sites..
