That's not my point. Unless it is a driver for something really important to system stability, it should not take down the whole OS. That is my point. These are only drivers for accessing the internet.
If a bad wireless driver can freeze all of Ubuntu AND prevent me from opening tty1 (press ctrl+alt+F1) AND even if I get to tty1, I can't run or kill anything, not even top, then I think there's a serious problem.
Then again it is probably bad coding due to ndiswrapper. Sorry, I'm a little bitter from trying for 5 hours to make the Marvell TOPDOG (TM) PCI-Express 802.11n Wireless (EC85)on my Gateway MT6458 laptop working, and all I get are Ubuntu lockups.
That being said, as the Linux System Administrator Guide states, "Modern Linux filesystem(s) keep fragmentation at a minimum by keeping all blocks in a file close together, even if they can't be stored in consecutive sectors. Some filesystems, like ext3, effectively allocate the free block that is nearest to other blocks in a file. Therefore it is not necessary to worry about fragmentation in a Linux system."
How to not get fucked over by a bittorrent client internet connection wise:
1. Find your upload limit. If you aren't doing anything else on the internet limit it to around 80%. If you are limit it to 50%. Drop more if needed. 2. Limit your global and torrent connection numbers. You would never need more than 50 peers. 100 is pretty good too, but anything over is literally overkill. Also dead and slow connections are automatically killed. 3. Set your torrents to stop at 100% seeding. Or whatever you want, uTorrent allows you to stop when you seed for 90 minutes OR more than 100% bandwidth given back to seed. This will prevent you from wasting bandwidth.
Can people catch swine flu from eating pork? No. Swine influenza viruses are not transmitted by food. You can not get swine influenza from eating pork or pork products. Eating properly handled and cooked pork and pork products is safe. Cooking pork to an internal temperature of 160ÂF kills the swine flu virus as it does other bacteria and viruses.
Thanks for tanking the pork prices with your misinformation though. Lots of pork for me to eat!
Does anyone actually know how to do that? Honestly? Why can't they just put the CD in and upgrade? It installs when you put the CD in and upgrades the OS.
Why don't they just sell service packs? As in you get upgrades with X features like Aero Glass, a new explorer, etc. but keep all your settings and applications. Like Apple does. Or some Linux distros except obviously it's free.
In marketing though I wouldn't call it a service pack. But you get the idea.

So if I photocopy a CD will I be sued by the RIAA for piracy? And be fired too?
Bad drivers do exist.

Or don't use NTFS or any kind of FAT volume.
Most Linux filesystems do not have a serious fragmentation problem, but NTFS and FAT[x] do.

There's another one waiting on NedBSD 5.11 for workgroups.
And you've been a valuable member of our botnet. Thanks again.
(No seriously, you can get a virus simply by being on the internet. Try a Windows XP no service pack install. I dare you.)
You accidentally the whole topic.
