Most of the kids who were born to a free software world, where access to the source is ubiquitous, don't have an idea of what a license does for them.
Never bothered to read the LICENSE files, because they all say (practically) the same thing, that they are free to improve and share. And that's what they do.
When they start their own projects, they 'default' to the same (mixed-oss/fs) license they grew up with, because that's the 'context' of the society they grew up in.

Actually, the Radeon 7770 is about 1.2TF, you should compare it to the 7850-7870.
At boot up, the BIOS redirects the PC text screen to the serial port (emulating an ANSI console, I think). Then, there's a setting in the bios telling it when to stop redirecting -- after POST, after boot loader, or never. It only works while the display hardware is in text mode, by the way.
In my case I stop redirecting before the boot loader (grub), and tell Linux it's console is ttyS0.
Wait... here it is:/boot/grub/grub.cfg: serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1 terminal_input serial terminal_output serial
I've got a Matrox Parhelia APVe, which has no open-source drivers, and the latest are for Ubuntu 8. Been thinking of getting a Radeon, will I be able to play any good games with it???
VT is a virtual terminal running on the VGA hardware. On a serial console you just get a getty over a standard tty (i.e., serial device). Work great for managing remote servers to which you get via a BMC (HP ILO), with serial port redirection.
Seeing that "bumpgate" only affected NVidia, and NVidia's and ATI's GPUs produced at TMSC don't show reliability problems, it's more of a problem of *assembly* and not in the production of chips themselves.
That, along with complaints of low yields by NVidia but not ATI/AMD, says that the problem lies not at TMSC...
I'm just the opposite. By obtaining music through alternative channels, my CD collection eventually quadrupled in size (now over 300 discs).
My record collection too reached on the order of 300 CDs, but eventually I stopped buying. That was when almost every single CD I bought wouldn't play on my car's cd-changer, because of the anti-cdrom copy protection, and I had to copy them to actually be able to hear what I had bought, where and when I wanted to.
Soon after, I grew bored on the comercial music that the industry so liked to push, and started spending the money on actual live performances of artists I would otherwise never have discovered.
(Some argue that functional languages will magically run N times faster on N CPUs because they lack side effects. I don't buy it. If it were true, functional languages would have dominated performance rankings years ago.)
Erlang does a great job in this respect (at least it did for Ericsson), but nowadays what people know as functional languages are the script-oriented ones like Ruby that carry a monumental runtime overhead with them.
Now, you just throw big piles of hardware at the problem, and the last programmers that care for performance are targetting microcontrolers, where C is king (I doubt they know any other languages, really...) -- save for those CS types that actually learned how to program, but that is a rant for another time, not for my first post in/..

Yes. When did it happen? /checks news on tv...

It's simple, really,

Like others said, PostgreSQL.
I won't think of using any other DB.

So, thank you, MAFIAA :)
As Ubuntu is based on Debian, I don't think they would have an ARM distribution if Debian didn't have theirs first...
