  1. Woo-Hoo on GPL'ed Drivers For NVIDIA nForce Ethernet Devices · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is great - now I just need to get the XFree86 nv driver to play nice with my nForce2 w/ integrated video, and I'll be able to run a non-tainted kernel.

    Has anybody else had problems with X on such a board? There's apparantly a bug somewhere in the rendering code that crops up because the nv driver doesn't use hardware acceleration as much as the nvidia driver. I filed bug #811 on bugzilla, but no resolution yet :(

  2. April fools on Salon on Internet Spring Cleaning · · Score: 1

    For a rather alarming conspiracy story involving
    linux and the sex industry, see salon.com.

    The title is:

    How Bill Gates and Richard Mellon
    Scaife used large, firm breasts to
    destroy Linux!

    The threat is alarming, to say the least.

  3. Re:Who wrote this? on Shimura-Taniyama-Weil (STW) Solved · · Score: 1

    Modular Form: complex functions satisfying
    f(z) = (cz+d)^(-k) * f((az+b)/(cz+d))
    with a,b,c,d integers, ad-bc = 1. These form a
    vector space. (k is called the weight).
    "Level N" is a technical condition on a,b,c,d.

    Hecke series: Really a Hecke transform, it's a
    linear operator on the space of modular forms.

    Eigenform=eigenvector.

    The fourier series business just means that the
    form is 'nice' at infinity...
    see, it's all simple.
    Until they start talking about this
    Galois cohomology business. Ugh.
