I called him a moron because he deserves it. He automatically accuses the original poster of havning hardware issues "that are agp related or something else".
Why is it that so many of you nVidia fan boys refuse to accept the fact that on some pretty common hardware, the nVidia drivers still have problems for some people?!?
Wrong... The "source" that you take about just provides for bindings between the kernel and the binary-only GLX driver. And if you're not using an nVidia blessed kernel, tough shit.
The SRPM and tarballs that contiain the GLX driver "source" don't contain the GLX driver source. And the kernel source simply provides hooks for the driver into the kernel, and contains none of the functionality for the card.
Or heaven forbid you want to run the latest development kernel. And don't even think about trying to run two nVidia cards at the same time with their driver. In fact, I couldn't even get my nVidia card to play nice with a PCI Permedia 2 card.
Frankly, I'd rather not put up with crap like that:-)
The Santa Cruz support under Linux is hardly great. In fact, it's quite limited due to the fact that Cirrus Logic refuses to hand out the specs for the chipset.
Nowhere did I say, or even imply, that we should get rid of all porn. You should really take some reading comprehension classes...
Though I have absolutely no objection to the production or viewing of pornography, to claim that it reduces rape and femal promiscuity (without citing any evidence) is, at the best, questionable.
Basically, they just asked Amazon to remove the prominently placed ads for used books (for recently published books, IIRC) and when Amazon didn't, the Author's Guild suggested to it's members that they shouldn't link to Amazon from their websites.
It was a completely reasonable request from them (IMNSHO) and a completely reasonable action when their request was denied (again, IMNSHO).
Nowhere in the article does it say that the authors want to get money from the sale of used books. All they're saying is that it isn't in the best interest of the author to link to a site that predominently displays ads for used books.
Slashdot Mirror
World Net Daily is practices balanced reporting? Since when?
The conservative rag known as WND has as much claim to journalistic integrity as Slashdot.

Is the problem that some people are too stupid to figure out how to copy and paste in X?
Dinivin
you copy FROM emacs into galeon?
/usr/bin/emacs-nox /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x4002a000) /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4006b000) /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4008e000) /usr/lib/libgpm.so.1 (0x401cc000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
Yes
are you running an X version of emacs?
Nope.
$ ldd
libncurses.so.5 =>
libm.so.6 =>
libc.so.6 =>
libgpm.so.1 =>
You do realize, don't you, that you can run emacs in an xterm?
Dinivin
What's your point? I copy and pasts in Galeon all the time.

Quick question: why do people use the term "gay" is if it's something negative?

Believe it or not, moron, a lot of people have had lockup problems with nVidia's drivers.
Just because you haven't had those problems doesn't mean that what he posted was FUD.

You really need to get a clue.
The SRPM and tarballs that contiain the GLX driver "source" don't contain the GLX driver source. And the kernel source simply provides hooks for the driver into the kernel, and contains none of the functionality for the card.

Or FreeBSD.

Thankfully, not everyone feels the same way.
BTW, nVidia's closed source drivers don't work for everyone.
Dinivin
nVidia's 3D drivers are not semi-closed. They are completely closed.

Actually, Hogan's Heroes was only on about 35 years ago. And as silly as it's humour might have been, it was hardly distasteful
Dinivin
Sorry, you responded to my post, so I took your humor as a sarcastic mocking of me.
God I need to get some sleep.

And that still isn't evidence that the abolition of pornography would lead to an increase in the amount of rape or promiscuity.
Dinivin
Nowhere did I say, or even imply, that we should get rid of all porn. You should really take some reading comprehension classes...

Dinivin
Without porn, rape would be alot more common than it is, and women would sleep around alot more often.
And you can back this up with statement with evidence, right?
Dinivin
Sorry if I sounded snippy with my post above...

Why the hell should authors expect to get royalties from second-hand sales? First sale doctrine and all that.
They weren't hoping to get royalties from second-hand sales. Please try to keep up with the issues, otherwise you'll just look like a fool.

think the female of the species are definitely getting the better deal here :P

And don't forget us gay men
Besides, I've seen trailers where buff Tobey has his shirt off.

The people are on our side, they just don't realize it.
And you feel comfortable speaking for all the people of the United States? A bit arrogant, aren't we?
