I followed the link to the NVidia drivers suggested during installation, and saw they were a beta version. I decided to stick with 162.18 (for an 8800, so ymmv) and am having no issues at all with stability or performance. If you went with the beta drivers, you might consider rolling back and trying again.
I hope you get it squared away. This really is a fun game (I am playing hooky from work today to play it, actually). Good luck!
It's not hard to turn off the pager/cell phone, whatever, when you leave the office
Easier said than done. When you absolutely love what you do, it is nearly impossible to turn it off when you leave the office.
There are literally hundreds of thousands of "salaried software engineers" who aren't on call 24/7
Yes, but most of these engineers have a lot less impact at their company than I do at mine. I have the opportunity to influence the direction my company takes (in regards to technology). I also mentor and train other engineers. These things require a bit more than 40-hours/week.
As a salaried software engineer, I am on call basically 24/7 (and that is often exercised when we push code to production). If I am expected to allow work to invade my personal life, then my personal life will have to invade work from time to time. Fair is fair.
While I agree that Notepad is a powerful editor, I feel that Wordpad's ability to underline text on the same line edges it out for the extreme programmer. Plus, you can write your release notes in Wingdings.
i don't know 1/2 that amount of people with that many conditions.
Perhaps those people just don't tell you everything. Most folks don't openly discuss their medical conditions (semi-anonymous Internet forums notwithstanding).
If you are a Windows user, the Accessibility control panel applet enables you to control the pointer with your keyboard. I'm sure other operating systems offer similar functionality.
The terrorists have won, in part. And we elected the people who used that as a wedge issue to inspire fear in the "home of the brave".
We elected these people before terrorism was a wedge issue; not after.
The terrorists have won, in part.
Still untrue. We may be losing, but it isn't because some abstract concept is winning. It just isn't that simple.
I submit to you that it is equally possible that you are fooled or trying to fool others.
I can't argue that. We are all kept in such darkness, I'd be surprised if even one of us really knows what's going on. However, it's a safe bet that it isn't what we are being told.
The terrorists won; we have lost our freedoms. They have changed our way of life.
The only way this statement could possibly be true is if the terrorists you mention are actually elected U.S. officials. Otherwise, you are either fooled or trying to fool others.

What is wrong with you? Choice and expectation are not mutually exclusive. You misunderstood what I said...
...and then put words into my mouth. I neither said nor implied that I or my company are "forced" to do anything.
does not then somehow force your company
nothing that you choose to do - however beneficial for the company - forces them to do any such thing
So yeah, I have to agree with the GPP when he said, "Your excuse sucks."
You sound like an ass. Please, troll someone else.
You are quite possibly on the verge of paradise if your wife really is getting into gaming. I am so jealous.
I'm sure your neighbor will think so.
What are you bitching about? A lot of men pay good money to have tits. You got them for a measly $15/month!

Even if a guy would get his work done, I *would* have a problem if he browsed for porn while at work.
If it doesn't prevent you from getting your work done, do you really have a (good) reason to care?

Excuse you? I was observing a trade-off.

Microsoft has some pretty smart people working there.
Microsoft is driven by marketing, not by smart people.
With Gentoo, OTOH, an out-of-the-box install doesn't have anything.
There, fixed it for you.
Nice tip. I hadn't seen this editor before and have now added it to my right-click on all files. Very handy!
Cheers.

what the Dept. of Child Porn Obsession knows about "development of the internet"? Seriously.

You would drown. That's why so many of us live on land.
I'm glad that you can prove to everyone that you were privileged enough to get a nice education
I dropped out of high school and even I know how to use the phrase correctly.
I find petty nitpickers like yourself to be far more obnoxious than the occasional grammatical error.
Is that not what your post is doing? Nit-picking?
Hell, if everyone communicated in perfect proper English
You missed a comma.
lol

I really really really HATE using my mouse

If the goal of the terrorists were to change our way of life
If. Meanwhile, our way of life has changed.
In other words, didn't they accomplish what they set out to do with terrorism?
What happened to if?
The terrorists won; we have lost our freedoms. They have changed our way of life.

Very nice. But, you didn't use circles.
Although with all the loses in the IP arena can SCO still legally sell it's OS?
Who would buy it?
