um not really, ask a joe average and the hard disk is the computer box and its windows
what kind of computer do you have, "well sir, its windows with the hard disk on the floor" or "its a dell"
people before the IBM personal computer 8051 call PC's anything that is a computer you can personally own, anyone after the mid 90's called it windows or mac, other than those cute apple commercials
its splitting hairs really, but go ask your aunt see what she says
for my computer collection... its a pretty interesting computer... though more of a games machine than serious stuffyness computer (we were an Apple II family) Though probally one of the XL series if it dropped in my lap that way. Definitely any of the 16 bit machines..
My cousins had a 2600, I at one point had a 5200 with one working joystick, pac mand and pole position (still one of my favorites), though I never really cared for the consoles as much, I just about bought a 2600 till the old lady went from 15 bucks to 75 cause her grandson looked at rapebay, hope she still has it instead of 15 bucks and one less chunk of crap in her house heh
its not even that considering most of us cant even order one, and those who can are totally left in the dark about when or even if they will receive one
when it responds right its right, when its wrong it gets a little sweaty and sarcastically says NOOOO and changes the subject. Just cause you make up an excuse for it sucking doesn't mean it doesn't suck
My KIA totally rocks, and yea I put that big dent in the fender cause I thought it was cool, see just like I own a brand damn new Ferrari
lol! Ok just for giggles lets replace Jersey Devil with Jesus
Dude, Jesus is Real. I heard it from a Friend who's friend told him about a story a friend told him about an encounter with Jesus. If that's not proof I don't know what is. Actually I have a friend that swears he has seen Jesus, but that's beside the point.
funny how your fun turns into sad, as you hear these types of people spout that story oh so often
Patented in 08, article in 11, and 2 slashdot articles and what do we have... jack shit nothing, its vaporware making outrageous claims and a pretty silly idea to boot. Besides why would you want to listen to a large chunk of metal spinning at 2000 RPM? The thing is full of hard edges, which cuts though the air, which produces.... (wait for it)
its worked for the first 30 someodd years. In the past the OS makers had to pay to get hardware supported, now they just wine cause its not perfect and free... do you work for free? Do you pay other people to work for free?
Seriously whats the god honest advantage here? 0.1% of nerds will be happier until the kernel changes again in a few months... fucking up all unpaid efforts? Its not a charity or priority.
Please get with the times, linux is dumping numbers in the user market, now? they want to have a hissy after over a decade
do all the work, fix the kernel, end up in a committee of freetards for the next decade, and get what out of it? jack fucking shit, and for what? less thansingle percentage of pc users that use linux on the desktop as a main system, laptops that are not covered right now AND that actually care?
this is spending all your revenue to be perfect, while knowing next month the 3-4 major cores will be tits up and ass backwards from what they are now
You have offsite backups and insurance to cover any damaged equipment, so whats the problem? Its not a disaster, its an excuse to upgrade. If you don't have offsite backups and insurance, well son, cut the power, break out the chainsaws, cut the wires, quit wasting you time posting to slashdot, and hope your customers/investors don't get wind of your incompetence.
Lugging around a bag full of boxes and cables hardly sounds any better than a laptop and a power supply, it sounds like you really just want a cheap tablet
you are not a Nvidia paying customer, you are a customer of whomever made the laptop. Nvidia supports the laptop maker by providing them technical details and drivers for the operating system the maker wants, which I assure you is not the freetard crap you put on it.
Point is Nvidia is supporting the paying customer, and Linus is whining that they are not getting the same treatment for free
quick lets all make up excuses for Linus getting old man syndrome!
"but any attempts to accomplish things if you aren't a direct customer buying millions of chips from them is goddamn impossible"
OMFG NOOOOO there is no possible way that NVIDIA could operate like every other chip maker on the face of the planet. They have millions of chips to produce for paying customers.
Jesus, I know LT is a good among geeks, but he is starting to get that syndrome where everything out of his mouth makes you want to roll your eyes and ignore him. If you want to bash someone for linux support, go trooping over to AMD/ATI's offices and loudmoth them. Last thing we need is you getting NVIDIA in a mood to provide EVEN LESS support than they already do genius!
theres a bit of difference tween a chimp ploping paint strokes in a semi random fashion to make modern "art" and the cave paintings clearly depicting characters doing specific actions. When Congo starts drawing his family actively hunting a beast and roasting it over a fire then I will concede your argument.
well, IMO that makes since, trying to eat while not being eaten kind of trumps cave art in my book of priorities in the ages before cultivation. Of course that all depends on the definition of swift... thats a bit open ended considering the time scales involved. IE a handful of generations, or a handful of centuries?

waste
"provided that those who lack the imagination to see the potential here don't get their way."
yea thats sort of the fucking problem now, douches patenting the color black and the idea of a icon, invent and be destroyed

thats great and all but I was responding to the line about Ceylon

apparently its a java remix
