I've had the G200 myself, the support was great and one of the best cards at the time.
The Linux drives have to be easily maintainable and switchable, the Windows driver model works so well, why it is such a problem to adapt similar scheme or allow to load Windows drivers? I believe there are some Windows network drivers that one can load to kernel, why not adapt and enable this also for the other drivers? That would solve hell of a problems. Imagine you can grab the latest Windows scanner or printer driver and use it. Vendors willing to open source the driver will do it regardless of the supported driver model, those uncooperative will never do it anyway, but at least one would not need to wait forever until somebody reverse engineers their stuff.
Then the devs could simply state that you need this nvXXXX.drv for the game to run properly, problem solved.
Well there is a video on Youtube where they grow a hearth muscle that starts beating spontaneously, amazing and shocking stuff. So I am not surprised here, good piece of news to read about in the morning anyway.
It is not about piracy, trust me, it is all about Linux not being viable as a platform. That is what TFA is about, they would do it, BUT Linux "pushes a lot of paths that are not usually optimized' and that the Linux port would have to use the binary blob graphics driver in order to work".
Basically what they are saying here is that after over a ten years of Linux development they are unable to effortlessly and painlessly port the game to the platform, or without taking some hard measures that could backfire, being nasty or buggy.
There is little criticism in the Linux community in general, so you would never really hear the X-windows system is probably the worst piece of software ever written or that Linux drivers do not really exist as the frequent kernel changes makes vendor software drivers invalid, lots of people got alienated over the years and even enthusiast now say something like that they've stopped worrying about Linux and love Windows. A sad story.
Theora is relatively new, recently matured format still under heavy development so people are in waiting mode, they will switch as soon as the format bested the competing H264, if this format outperforms competition in a sense that the bit-rate is better for given quality then lot of people will turn their heads as bandwidth is money these days, this however must happen in concord with the video tag adoption and hardware acceleration support otherwise it really is not very viable format even for the near future.
TFA (read the fucking article) look pretty much fabricated. NO REFERENCE to the actual "data source" what so ever, it only points to Wikipedia for explanation of the issue instead to any reliable source of those numbers. This surely is not "Microsoft source" as they claim be and the 50% failure rate? What a joke. This figure can't stand even for the fist generation 360. Can't believe this comes from Seattle PI.
The provider is managing everything for you automatically, the Cloud service takes care of pretty much everything including security so it is manageable even for non-technical dudes.
Why not use the C instead then, or even better C++. After all many top websites run C++ (Google,eBay,Yahoo) as it is the fastest, well memory utilizing, best threading performance and green/CPU saving solution. With the native processor exceptions used properly it is also the most robust solution.
Well, some developers do not need technical feats as they franchise ability to sell is based on non-technical grounds. Does Mario or Sonic need a radiosity-like shaded environments? Nope. Or look at PopCap games and their offerings.
SEGA's core product is the Sonic not the console metal, just like Nintendo, they live and die by their IPs, the Sports, Mario, Zelda franchises, nobody would touch their hardware without key titles.
Look at the problem from the other side. Do you want to be sued by every whacko that do not understand the product and decides to sue ? This is a basic legal defense otherwise firms and corporations would be sued out of existence. Most legal actions against technology firms is stemming from some kind of misunderstanding at the user end, often the plaintiff is malicious, extortion seeker or simply stupid. Also you need to cover your ass because some contractor or 3rd party vendor will likely screw your product in some way you will not be able to fix.
Exactly the opposite, the new smart TVs are the new PCs/computers and will be from this point onward. That means TV will again be the centerpiece of everything. Most people (the ordinary dudes) will have no intention to buy separate PC boxes as the TV will get them to Facebook/Myspace/Yahoo/Twitter or anywhere they tend to end up. Needed peripherals? Look at the cheap 16GB SD cards or wireless keyboards.. That also means bad time for PC and Linux business in general as most normal people will just buy the TV and forget OS, Linux or anything directly connected. PC will then again be only for the enthusiasts or professionals, the time when the masses invaded PCs therefore draws to an end.
It has nothing to do with religion. The bigger the country the stakes for government (of any kind) and the involved individuals are higher, the exposure for them is higher, so the urge for control and filtering comes along with it.
classifies this planet as a "hot Jupiter." It is so close to its star, the planet is as hot as the glowing red heating element on a kitchen stove
Basically it is super big, super hot gas giant continually roasted by the nearby star. Speculating about the composition of its atmosphere or possible biosphere are therefore dashed.
IE6 is far from dead, IE6 is default on XP, even now, new users of so popular XP netbooks have that browser preinstalled, there are lots of them that do not want to switch to anything else.
Awesome? Could somebody verify this runs under IE8, IE7 and IE6 ? If the answer is nope, then this functionality is exactly "vapor-web", albeit aspirational.

Yep, the best are the fake plastic cams -- the dummy CCTV cameras, those rival the German shepherd dog and are even water proof.

Well XBox 360 runs old Xbox titles with no problem now (most of them).
already has C-like syntax
Why not use the C instead then, or even better C++. After all many top websites run C++ (Google,eBay,Yahoo) as it is the fastest, well memory utilizing, best threading performance and green/CPU saving solution. With the native processor exceptions used properly it is also the most robust solution.

Tough call, as it is Alien vs Predator kind of fight.
For a discount price of $500 (first 1000 entrants only).

HAM radio. It's an obsolete elitist hobby for techno-geeks. Let it die.
/. ? Lots of HAM radio operators are here, they tend to have an excellent karma and lots of mod bullets in their magazine.
You dare to say this on
Volt's lithium battery replacement costs now $9500 (not a joke), if you count battery as fuel then the given mpg rating is pretty skewed.
SEGA's core product is the Sonic not the console metal, just like Nintendo, they live and die by their IPs, the Sports, Mario, Zelda franchises, nobody would touch their hardware without key titles.
Are you the guy who pushes the system drivers be written in Python?

Loved the autofire.

So much money, so little motivation..
Macs are blessed against bugs, faults or viruses anyway.
Android suffers the same problem and fate with Palm's WebOS. Guess what the main problem is.
