  1. Re:Freedom of hate? on Freenet Project More Stable, In Need · · Score: 1

    For example, supporting the right of Vegan freedom of speech can only lead to the growth of a movement that wants to take your freedom away. Logistically, this makes absolutely no sense to me.

    See how easy it is to twist good intent around.

    Then you didn't look too hard. from the NVidia drivers page:

    Linux Display Driver - IA32

    Version: 1.0-5336
    Operating System: Linux IA32
    Release Date: January 26, 2004

    Release Highlights

    * Support for Linux 2.6 kernels.
    * Fixed AGP failures on some VIA motherboards.
    * Fixed a problem that prevented X from running on Samsung X10 laptops

    As for the compile issue just make sure you use the same compiler that was used to compile the kernel. In Fedore Core 1 type export CC=gcc32 before you run the compile.

    You haven't done a damn thing to help yourself and yet you blame NVidia. Sad.

    How much does you daughters spend on admins and those that do not teach? You will be suprised when you check it out, it will be a very large number. The main problem isn't the amount of money spent on schools, it's how it is spent and spending it on non-teachers is a waste.

    This is a state goverment and most state goverments are required by their constitutions to have 'balanced' budgets. They just can't sell bonds like the feds can.

    Just wait. Our tax system can not survive a large influx of people who pay next to no taxes and most of the new jobs in the US don't pay enought to require those working at them to pay federal income tax. Something will have to change
