Also in my area I get much better satelite reception than cable reception. Especially on the local channels. You wouldn't think this could be the case but after making the switch it's gotten better.
I'm married and have been for a while. If you and your wife aren't having sex then either you are a shitty husband or she is a shitty wife. Granted alot of people might qualify especially in the us.
The hard drive will allow you to download extra maps, but patches and updates will be released to the memory cards. The people with hard drives will be able to download new levels but they will still be able to play with people that dont' have hard drives if they don't play a new level.
blender comes to mind. Furthermore there is the chicken and the egg problem. No 3d drivers untill the applications come. No applications untill 3d comes.
Just because the software is free doesn't mean it's worse. Plenty of us, myself included prefer it over OSX which is just a resource intensive pig with a poor UI, bad cli, and missing key parts of the unix system.
No porting to ppc. No fixing minor bugs if they come up. No customizing the drivers to a particular application. No tinkering. No learning.
> ATI cant and wont expose the low level details of their hardware's functionality to competitors.
They can but they won't. Their competitors have competent engineers that can reverse engineer the stuff if needed. It's all in software anyway.

see above.

I think you are naive. There are plenty of smart people that do alot of linux work. Surely they know linux better than ATI, and thus they may be able to improve the drivers since it's not just the hardware that these drivers are specific too. Also they may be able to port the drivers to PPC or BSD.

What's your point? It would be better if they did.
If you check out their website only 7 games work perfectly. All the other games have irritations and work differently on linux than windows. 3 years and only 7 games work.
inkjets are all pieces of crap a good laser is the way to go. If you want color go to kinko's and use their color laser for the few times you really need it. Inkjets are a complete waste of plastic.
if he's not guilty then it's worth every penny. After all he didn't do it. If he's guilty and found not guilty then that's the courts and they need to be fixed.

Microsoft just patented the use of grep.
grep -r TODO * > tasklist
hopefully they won't catch me, this post infringes.
huh... huh... huh... He said rectum
My linksys router was a piece of shit, but now I have an smc router. It was priced competatively and I haven't had any problems with it.
yeah, this often puzzles scientists. But yes, plants reflect the most powerfull frequency. It makes no sense.

What's really funny is that in the us hard A is sold in 750ml and 1.5L bottles
well you certainly can't loose.
>In fact, it would only make it worse - Opensource it and you will have serious issues with version control and compatibility.
This is pure FUD, FUD, FUD, FUD, FUD
so is Java
funny it's not installed on mine. This is just an ignorant comment. Plenty of *nixes don't include it.

> It is naive to think that you could improve on what ATI design engineers came up with. They designed the product, you didn't. Get over it.
It's not naive to think that someone could find a bug and/or improve it, and/or customize it, and/or port it, and/or support it after ati stops.
So to summarize your arguments are worthless dribble.
What is illogical about using linux on an ibook?
Just because the software is free doesn't mean it's worse. Plenty of us, myself included prefer it over OSX which is just a resource intensive pig with a poor UI, bad cli, and missing key parts of the unix system.

well that's a great way to sell me on a product. Buy us but it doesn't work!
god forbid someone post facts. It's automatically flamebait.

in my state minimum wage is above $7.
there is no good implementation it's all slow and it's all memory intensive. I would be running freenet but it totally slow my desktop computer down
