The AMD/ATI linux drivers suck, they are laying off their kernel folks, and no indication they have any plans to change. I hope they survive, but convincing me not to buy your products is not going to help.
AMD is the only choice in my mind. Intel is big and evil monopolist who hates consumers , and Nvidia hates Linux and OpenSource.
AMD is the only alternative to these goons in the PC market.
The problem is AMD's new "half core" design is a complete flop and is often just BARELY better than X6, and that is when you put X6 against the new X8, if you put them equal, X6 VS X6, then Phenom II wins.
Half core? Its full cores with shared FPU. Most CPUs/cores sold do not have a FPU at all. One does not need a FPU to be a cpu/core. It like saying Intel Sandy Bridge is a fake 4 core cause theres only one GPU on broad.
If it is because you hope to use lack of an ABI to force drivers to be open what do you say to the fact that the most stable graphics driver in Linux is Nvidia, who is closed?
Any proof that of that at all? Sounds like wishful thinking, just read the bug reports lists. The Nvidia driver is about as stable as as a sand castle in a hurricane.
Since when has classified material ever been included under free speech?
There are all sorts of restrictions on so-called "free" speech. Racism, hate, right-wing rhetoric, Islamophobia, all these have been banned at one time or another, with the approval of the courts and to the applause of the American public.
Umm i not sure if you are talking about the US but none of those things are banned.
They are not supporting Android, i.e they are not going to guarantee that its works but that does not mean you cannot run Android or your favorite Linux distro on the thing, Lots of FUD and outrage over nothing at this point in time.
Here, here. Intel is evil, even more evil than Microsoft. They have done just much harm to computing and as Microsoft and Apple. They are anti competition, anti consumer, and pro DRM, and they hate 3rd world children(see OLPC). Fuck them, Intel are dirty scumbags.
Circumcision become the norm in the US after it was found out that the rates of penile cancer among Jewish men were zero. And now we know that men that are circumcised are less likely to infect and become infected with STDs. So again what are the lies?
Linux has not won any kind of OS battle, much less on phones or tablets.
Linux is the Major OS of Servers, Super Computers, Television Sets, the God Particle
iOS (which is BSD based) runs the majority of phones and tablets in use, while Android has the majority of the rest.
Tablets yes, Phones not even close!
While it's true that Android phones tend to use a Linux kernel, that's not really a requirement. It's just convenient. Android could run on any kernel. BSD, Windows, Hurd, whatever.. And all Android apps would continue to function.
Android is the OS, not Linux. Linux is just the current kernel, and has absolutely no bearing on Android as a platform.
If Android can run on these other kernels as you say then why is not being done? Android outside of Linux is released under a permissive license, if any other kernels could do the Job Linux does I'm petty sure Google would of chose it, but alas no other kernel is up to snuff.
Social Engineering at its finest and most simplest. Much more effective getting your payload unto a system using this method then say then using a dancing baby gif.
The US elected the lesser of two evils at that time (a choice we have to make every time)..
Just cause you like voting for evil does not mean I have to make the same choice. I make my choice to vote for good and never vote for any of the two evils, I always vote third party.

The claws of Fascism are spreading worldwide.
Westboro Baptist Church is an object lesson in why it's good to have some restrictions on speech, such as limiting it to a reasonable time and place.
You sir sound like a fascist.

When i first read about him a few years ago he came across has a big douche, but now he has grown on me. I find myself cheering him on.

Ie in the US you can't yell fire in a crowded theater,
Often quoted, but very wrong. Yes you can yell fire in a crowded theater, and its not illegal.

Kudos and well done John Key you have earned my respect, New Zealand sounds like a awesome place.
Here in America we are still waiting for Obama to apologize for murdering American citizens, and putting us in concentration camps.

Nvidia is beyond unfriendly to open source, they are enemy's of OSS.
Its kinda of telling just how open source hostile and unfriendly Nivida is when they make Microsoft look like an ally.
So in the words of Linus Torvalds "Hey Nvidia, Fuck You!"
Android = Linux ?

That NIN's albumt. You could even download flacs!
To bad it was off in a different direction from the traditional NIN "space".
When was there ever a traditional NIN sound?

It has Mach roots yes, but the XNU kernel is as much a micro kernel as is Linux is.
BSD is not UNIX ether. BSD had to strip all remaining traces of UNIX as per the AT&T lawsuit.
FYI CSI is the most watched TV show in the world. And CSI and DNA go together like a horse and carriage.
What are the lies?
Circumcision become the norm in the US after it was found out that the rates of penile cancer among Jewish men were zero. And now we know that men

Its the other way around, Windows 7 was trying to be a KDE 3/4 clone in some areas.
I love this Judge, shes blunt and will not take Apples bullshit.
She needs her own show on TV.
It's CUDA only, meaning it does not support any open standards. Call me when when I can target OpenCL.
