That's not a problem. Almost every distro has being moving to a separate lib folder per arch anyway. It's not a nightmare as it makes cross compilation easier.
If they found out it was bought off another Iranian they completely think the employee was an accomplice and instead of you seeing "denied ipad sale" you'd be seeing the news "secret iranian plot" and both the women and employee would be in guantanamo bay by now.
That's not what happened. The clerk also knew the language and (i'm guessing since she admits it in the article) overheard her saying she was going to ship it to her cousin in Iran. It's against the US law to do that. It's also why sourceforge has this stupid thing about banning all projects from Iran until they're unticked to confirm they don't contain any encryption.
This isn't even the first time something stupid like this has happened. SSL for example had the same problems back in the day.
because 3D unity really taxes a video card... come back when it works with a multitude of video games as well as wine "without problems" then you'd be on to something. Running the desktop is the lowest bar you can get.

Yeah, I guess that's why the unity game engine just released linux support...
He's right. As an outsider looking in this move was made to stay relevant when everyone has moved on to github. The only thing sourceforge has over github is that it's open source. Everything else about it is horrible and has been for a very long time.
Same thing with Apache which is losing out to other servers such as nginx and cherokee. All these projects as well as the sourceforge site simply stopped innovating and bloated out while the majority of people moved on.
I just checked out a random project on sourceforge and there are 5 adverts on the page.. I mean seriously? You think people want to use this? Sorry but for 90% of us sourceforge is dead with the rest being reluctant to learn anything new.
I'm not some kind of sourceforge hater, i used to be a subscriber and hope that it does somehow improve however you're burying your head in the sand at the moment.
I find it a bit concerning that we're now 4 levels deep into this and you still haven't even acknowledged my original point, you've constantly tried to turn this into some kind of comparison between other companies, something I never mentioned, something that isn't at all relevant here.
Please tell me what the link is between "AMDs drivers sucks and I wish their fans would demand better drivers" and "well Nvidia sucks too!". Congrats you're exactly the reason why AMD are laughing all the way to the bank. Why develop a better product when you're just going to accept whatever shit this company hands you and ask for more? Think about that for a moment.
This isn't very surprising AMD/ATI have always had crappy drivers. I wish their fan base would stop apologising for them and demand AMD put more effort into their products.
He means pledge linux support. They were originally stating something like if they got x million they'd give linux support. It's funny to ask the op to support the game when they obviously had no intention of porting to linux (supporting him) unless they got a huge amount of donations. That's his point.
If all AMD users didn't have any problems why is it year after year all I ever see are stories about AMD bugs? Why is it when I look at bug reports for both open source stuff and for closed source games it's always AMD that's the problem?
Facebook is probably one of the most well known brands in the world. A facebook branded phone would get lots of sales regardless of how well the phone performed.
Because you're trying to hope on a product with all the investment goodies without actually doing any of the donation/investment in a risky product. It's something no one wants to reward otherwise none of the kickerstarter projects would meet their goal because too many assholes are waiting for it to become to success first.

Your point is as useless as yourself, simpleton.
You're missing the important bit from the parent's post
> use pointers as big as necessary
By reducing the pointer sizes you can fit more into the cache which means less cache misses. This means faster processing.

That doesn't mean the clerk didn't hear it. End result here is that she was in the wrong regardless.

The article itself says they've lagged behind in handing out specs.

You're contradicting yourself...

If you use Google Apps then it is.
Apart from the optimus cards in laptops, especially the ones without a bios switch..

I never mentioned Nvidia, it's also completely irrelevant as AMD drivers will suck regardless of what Nvidia does.
What has Nvidia got to do with it? Why do you mention the failings of another company to cover for AMD?
Seriously? Never? It comes up in almost every article with AMD/ATI in it. Just this week alone there's already been another article about it.

Seen many more bugs from AMD then i've ever seen in an nVidia driver.
> I remember when ATI drivers were notoriously bad, and now it looks like we've returned to those days.
Returned? They never left!

Only in the west, South East Asia has no problems with it.
Facebook is probably one of the most well known brands in the world. A facebook branded phone would get lots of sales regardless of how well the phone performed.
