Yeah you don't want to bring up the fact that all linux has is 1 object driver file to deal with. Because that's never really the end of story until it's compiled into the kernel as a module. And you mkinitrd the image and so on and so on. Windows may suck, but bragging about linux drivers being definitively better is far from the truth.
Please don't even bring up Netsape, it never stood a chance against IE. Because of the tie between Netscape and Mozilla, I hesistated to try Firefox when people introduced it on slashdot way back. Since then, I have tried and never looked back.
I recommended Firefox to like 5 people (all non techies). All of them cannot believe their freaking eye. After a week they were walking around saying "Hail Firefox!!!"
Damn right. People are too inclined to just modd down others when they hear something they don't like...
"American forces are not as superior as originally anticipated"
"US technology failed, they might even bring the draft back now"
"Bad politics has more to do with it than technology"
Another words get Bush out of the office now, because these type of statements are on the news every day. Don't modd each other down cause you are too patriotic to face the facts.
I have had both ATI and Nvidia cards, and I have to honestly agree with you 100%. No question, I buy more than enough games to deserve the right to say this.
My experience with GeForce 2/4 and ATI Radeon 9800 pros were night and day. ATI cards on average require massive driver tweaks to get the result you want. I can statistically say that ALL games just look disappointing running with an ATI card out-of-box. No customer should have to suffer from graphical white spots, blue screens, permanent interlaced graphics until next month's catalyst drivers.
Not to mention 3 months into my new ATI card, I already returned it since it fried under warranty. Both cards I bought around $300 at their prime, which tells me they should have been well supported.
Nvidia won by the most ridiculous margin for me. My current ATI Radeon is probably my last ATI card EVER!
Definitely DON'T be a CS major in the U.S. Be a MIS major or IT or anything to help you graduate and get that piece of paper.
The one thing I learn is... most professors have never seen the light of day from the corporate perspective. You can be a master in C++ in your class, and be useless if a company deploys xml and some other language.
$30,000 tuition is alittle too expensive for learning concepts. You can get that from a $50 C++ book. Be smart, graduate fast. Don't ever look back.
Of course not, like everything else is becoming more virtualized. What if someone has 1 xeon counting as 2 processors running windows. Then they install vmware to install many windows OSes for testing. is that still 1 CPU? No lawyer can move at the pace of engineers!!!
Wow this is too good to be true. If Symantec and Mcafee goes to hell, then windows too might be in jeopardy. The OS is already until attack from spyware and adware to every degree.
Is 2005 the year linux rules the corporate world? 2006? I don't know about ruling at home since games are still a factor.
1.) fleetbank send out some email advertisment 2.) hackers now have a model email to modify 3.) hackers can just redirect some links and resend it to different users.
So to fix this, real companies need to STOP sending out spam.
I think if OpenOffice can include a mail client software better than outlook, that can check pop mail + multiple hotmail accounts all at once, they'd have a good chance. Their version of word/excel is almost where M$ is.
Multiple hotmail accounts is literally the only missing feature in Outlook today!!
Forget Cola!! Google will have condoms ready by the end of the year. It will have encrypted latex which guarantees you'll feel the power of the internet.

Forget your GPA. Most people's job are going to be screwed. Time to get those welfare paperwork ready.

There is a simple economic saying "People pay anything for medication, because medication is necessities."
When MS can prove in these other countries that they cannot survive without a PC, then they will pay anything.
For those with 2 hour commutes, distraction is a MUST!
Thank you!! It's about time someone is screaming it out. US pharmaceutical firms can be 10x more effective, they just choose not to be.
- Detergent
- fluoride
- pesticides in vegetables
- chemically expanded meat
Here you go, these are the 4 things US government love, since they are as good a population control tool as HIV. In the meantime everybody ca$hes in.

During custom install, they BETTER let you leave it out.
Oh please. If this the linux hardware belongs to the government, it'll be...
Republicans vs. Iraqis.
Republicans vs. Unemployed
Republicans vs. Non-upperclass
I think I am about to get flamebaited to hell by Bush lovers.
Boy I actually tried out the atari one button joystick and it was actually better than the atari 2 button joystick. Now that's sad.
I am so glad they stopped making hardware. They would have been responsible for destroying the wrists and thumbs of an entire generation.

You know what the SADDEST part is. Of all the Gran Turismo games I have played, the cars always go by the Japanese market names!
WTF is a million versions good for, if it's internally all the same.

This has nothing to do with discrimination!
This is Apple's weak attempt of dealing with the soon-to-be-superior PSP which will play mp3s, watch movies and play games.
Read the most recent Newsweek magazine and you'd know Steve Jobs is worried since PSP debuts at $300 with all the above features.
A new color to spice up marketing AND match the PSP's color, is the least Apple can do.

Tell me about it. I am just waiting for future commercials to reveal it ALL.
Unfortunately you might end up seeing more parts than you want. Sears hardware, Pizza Hut, Oscar meyer weeners...

Anyone have any GOOD instructions to go from a 2.4 kernel to a 2.6?
It's not a question of money! Don't you think this is WAY too many pieces to deal with. That's like buying a Tivo box in 7 pieces.
Actually it's better to wait till you know for sure that your video card drivers can handle the game.... THEN call the sick day.
Doom III sat on my shelf to collect dust for a month until Catalyst 4.9 was released.
Dell: I am sorry, every support call we get is spyware related.
M$: So?
Dell: It all came from IE, your browser. Now we have to bundle Firebox and disable IE for all shipped Dell products.
M$: No. IE is superior. Windows is superior. Suck my left nut.
Dell: What?
M$: Get back to work or we take away windows licensing.
Dell: Ok. Would you like some coffee sir?

Sorry when I think music/remixes for video games that are truely GOOD. Only one thing comes to mind... http://www.ocremix.org
