    except it works just fine in windows, more likley a update to Xserver isnt playing nice with the OSS driver anymore and now something "they" broke is my fucking video card dying ... or in other words it will never be fixed

    I am not an astrotufer you foil hat wearing freak, my video card is fucking fine I use it in windows every day, my experience was yesterday morning, I am on slashdot every day. Right here is one of the major problem with linux, ... you.

    card works fine, runs in windows like a champ, no artifacts, no glitches no problem, I also had it happen on a laptop at work, but that think is crap so I didnt bring it up

  5. Re:Elitist nonsense for the most part on Evaluating the Harmful Effects of Closed Source Software · · Score: 1, Insightful

    thats a very good point. at our company we buy MS office, not because we like MS, but just for the simple fact it can open our retardedly large spreadsheet data logs where as the OSS version tosses up a bitch message and truncates the data. the OSS version fails in our application, we dont care about the politics, only what will work for our needs

    I still have it installed, fully up to date, but every time I start to do something serious (I only use it for development now) it fucks up. In the end I dont care if its open or closed, I just care that it works

  7. on the other side of the coin on Evaluating the Harmful Effects of Closed Source Software · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Having XFCE and ubuntu earlier today granted me with some artifacts tween the gimp and firefox which built up until the screen was complete garbage, and its been a number of years, possibally since windows 98 days since I have seen that on the MS side

    Windows may suck for a long list of reasons, but for some odd reason, will millions of brilliant nerds working for a goal, more shit gets screwed up on OSS systems, more frequently. Personally I went from a windows only mindset in the mid to late 90's to a linux only mindset in the 2000's, just to end up dreading having to boot linux in the 2010's

  8. Under 1000$ on OpenRelief Project Launches Disaster Drone Project at LinuxCon Japan · · Score: 1

    so your taking like a 100 RC plane, sticking about 150$ worth of hardware in it, free software, batching it together with a under 1000$ price tag and taking it to a place where the people are still recovering from a disaster to pitch it

    I dont know if its brilliant or questionable

    thats mighty un-capitalistic of you

  10. its also expensive as fuck to watch on Game of Thrones The Most Pirated TV Show of the Season · · Score: 1

    I could not care any less about the show, but you need a 80+ $ a month cable subscription AND a premium fee to get that channel, for what? A couple shows and some shitty old Tom Hanks movies?

    Dont boo-hoo at me cause people who want to watch it are getting it while your raking in the cash with a fucking steam shovel with a false premium / scarcity model.

  12. None Of Them. on Best Buy Chairman and Founder Resigns Ahead of Schedule · · Score: 1

    "What brick-and-mortar stores make sense where you live?"

    When it comes to consumer electronics, really none of them. Every brick n mortor consumer electronics store is loud, disorginized, littered with unknoledgeable staff who ignore you, or worse swarm you like hungry wolves, item cards which give you less information than a half paragraph during a google search, and fuck with you on price.

  15. Motion Gaming a fad, more at 10 on Is Microsoft's Kinect a Gaming Failure? · · Score: 1

    Video capture systems to interact with computers have been around since the Amiga, and they are great for some games in some situations, but on the other hand you dont want to move your furniture to jump around like a dolt for every single game, it gets tiresome, tedious, and frustrating. Yea great you have had fun with them for a little while, but where does it end up? Right next to your WII, move, eye-toy, light guns, activator and rock-n-roller. Whats your next console going to have in the box? A gamepad.

    Well I have been holding off on a project at work waiting on this thing, and now that its finally "available" I cant get it, I have a red line pressed against me and while I and the bosses are extremely patient, at some point you just got to move on

    That time for me was April 24th 2012 at 3PM when I got asked "when are you going to do something about the environmental chamber controls?" 1 order from minibox and a few days later we all scratched it off our list.
