Probably because it's a developer-oriented site; however, did you notice the survey from the article is actually only looking at US users ? Perhaps in Europe or other parts of the world Firefox usage statistics are different (better ?).
You are absolutely right; however, I think the author of the article wanted to point out that even over such a massive distance, the build-up of the wave when it approaches North America will still result in a damn big wave. I didn't see him suggesting the wave to be this big in the middle of the ocean.
Hi,
I have a matrox G450, it works quite good. I got it to work quite a while ago by getting CVS XFree86 and the beta 4 (1.004 something like that). It worked rather straight out of the box/cvs:) Hardware 3d acceleration is nice as well, though there are some issues. Please tell me if something is supposed to work and I am telling it's not. Here they come:
- DRI (3d accel) only works with 16bpp
- 32 bpp doesn't work at all
- dualhead works fine, though (with CVS DRI) getting one of the heads to be hardware accelerated results in machine lockups
- trying to use AA fonts on both heads at the same time locks up my system
- switching desktops when playing a windowed quake3 game causes the system to lock up (was supposed to be fixed in recent DRI CVS, I tried, problem still there)
- TV out on the G450 is not possible (neither with the recent 1.005 matrox driver), for as far as I can tell you won't get it to work (G400 TV out works though)
Well, that's about it. The matrox forum is nice, they give proper support. Asking about tv out on the G450 results in a reply telling you to ask in the driver requests forum.
He was obviously making a joke. As things have been going good for Linux for quite some time now, he figured :
Let's use some sarcasm and speak of "all the bad news about Linux" even though this is another good thing happening to Linux (at least it's good for getting Linux to be known).
Don't you think ?

I doubt that the one who did Keramik is a programmer. Even if he is, he is also a great artist.
I believe the style was designed by the photoshop wizard "qwertz", and the programming was done by Malte Starostik.

Hope someone could use this information,
