---Honestly, there should be no subsidies for any business because they have a problem with theft. If I lived in a bad neighborhood and had my car stolen all the time, would it be society's fault? Should we all have to pay for their unfortunate situation? In other words, do I deserve to have a "new car tax" put over on all gasoline sales for all people in the city because I "deserve" a new car, and was simply a victim?
You've successfully described socialism and Welfare. "Make everybody pay for my mis-fortune". I look at the similar theft issue to the way of jobs too. "HE STOLE MY JOB!! And now I'm in the poor house". I believe in some sort of a system of tax to subsudise basic life necessities (nothing like we currently have now).
---This, of course, in stark contrast to our country, whose leader believes that Africans should, under no circumstances, be educated about how AIDS is spread.
That's NOT what he said. He said that he would not support an orginazation which would advise for "safe" abortions. The Vatican backed him on that. It just happens that "education" fell under that plan.
I'm sure he would OK a plan which would include sexual education: just dont approve the abortion issue.
Still, you're using the same attacks politicans use to fight against another candidate: use a veto on a bill that has good and bad effects. Then focus on all the good effects that the guy threw away with his vote.
My guess it would be in the bios settings (it's pretty low level to control agp ratios). Still, I've been having similar problems as you have had with the Geforce. I have 2 different cards: ATI rage128 (32MB agp), and a ATI all in wonder (rage128, 16MB, pci). When I use the AGP card only, I get consistent system crashes, along with weird artifacts in mplayer. It seems the colorspace splits itself over other parts of video memory. The other card is a bit slower (pci, 16 MB), but I can do 3d without crashes. But I get no more than 30 FPS on UT in linux. Some other notes is that when I run glgears, it seg-faults on my agp card. Yeah. that nasty.
If I use Fullscreen in MediaPlayer in Windows, I get a click-reboot problem (with my AGP card). t does work a bit better with my pci card.
Your problem isnt contained to "nVidia" or my ATI cards. I do run a Asus k7ta-raid (possibly I could flash my bios, but only recently have I had any problems.
Too true. OSS ideas are to re-invent the wheel, even though many mathematical algorythims are patented (like Ogg - psychoacoutic model of elimination). Still, it may be needed, as Sigma pissed off the guys who were creating Xvid. Cause a company was selling open source software without providing source, the Xvid team is now rioting and is quitting making xvid.
And a second point: what would be more "together", 2 totally diffrent codeds slapped together, or a dual thought out codec. I figure they use similar measuers to make both. If the do, you might only need 2 chips on a Ogg: AV displayer (handheld device). A Ogg decoder, and a video displayer. Just an idea.
Who's the fuckwad moderator who put a -2 on this? This was heavy sarcasm.
My point was this: Who gives a fuck about "hat color"? Hell, might as well have a UV, violet, blue, green,yellow,orange, red, rf, and an AM hat. Yep.

Since you're new to slashdot, here's the skinny, ok?
1: Never, I say never cross the slashdot hordes at Linux criticism. Remember: Windows sux, Linux rox. 2: Always.. I mean never take cheap shots at editors about dupe stories, EXTREMLY BAD REPROTING, and general stupidity. They do it never the less. 3: Also we're supposed to hate the MPAA and RIAA, but it's every other day. Todays's the day we like the **AA's. 4: Dont feed the trolls. They hand around First Post and Slashdot Ave. Then again, I'm one too;-) 5: And there's something about Apple. They're using the Dead OS, BSD. Somehow "we" are supposed to like them , even though they have a situation on the apple market that MS wishes it could have. Insulting Apple is almost as bad as Muttering The Penguin's name in vain. 6: Never say you're a troll. Chances are, you are. You just dont know it. You may even make perfect sence. Revert to rule 1.
Stupid stuff like this usually gets +5 funny, even though it's -1 offtopic
ANd dont forget the 6 engines and the Crankcase5 to have them all work together. You'll need a ignitorSwitch capible of using a crankcase5 along with resolving all the dependancies of the Oil/gas/water/sugar mixture. ANd dont forget the bad_driver_os... wait. that's you

I usually download what I want from the net (which happens to be fan-subs from very recent anime that will never be brought here in the US).

---"Have we really reached the apex of GUI design?"
I think so... The idea of windows are the beginning idea. You need to multitask, so you need to minimize and maximize windows. Next, you need the ability to see minimised programs, either in a bar, or in a icon. Third, the GUI must be fairly 'moldable', so that you can plug in chuncks to add functionality. There should be standard parts, like a clock, program menu, a pager for multiple desktops with ability to move windows around (like E). Perhaps also including a task bar.
Next, a program that can control the functions of the computer should be made. Perhaps this is only a gui for rewrite of a/etc/conf text and re-runs the daemon, but I think it's needed. Full support should be in there for the GUI (X and gui). There should be a hardware viewer, along with the ability to modprobe drivers next to hardware. Servers should have a decent gui for interface (Swat, for example). Along with server control, there should be a simple networking viewer. This determines local computer, the connection medium(s), close computers and the gateway. Then you should be able to, using a gui, configure your computer for basic routing. ALso should be a setting for "Internet connection sharing", so your users wouldnt have to know weird ipchains/iptables commands.
Still when I think of the next type of gui, I see some sort of mind-computer connection, along with all the hardware doing visualtions for us. I see that in about 25-30 years at the minimum. Still, in the terms of gui creation, I think we've found many ways to be more effective. Problem is getting programmers to listen to us.
---"Great... Now how does a small group of students get read write rights on a set of files/directories?"
Actually, I've been waiting for that one a long time. I've seen no unix that allows you to give users a limited set of group creation (group permissions). If I had 25 users and I was the teacher, I'd split the class into 5's. How exactly do I allow users to create groups?
In Windows, all I have to do is make a folder, take full control, and give my members read/write on the dir. If I want certain persistant files, I take away their permissions on the file secifically.
And Yes, I am a Linux/Free/SCO user. It just seems though, that WIndowsNT ACL's are superb, and (RWXR-XR--) type suck

Hmmm.. I'd assume that ext3 wouldn't be as good.. A fix on a fix usually sucks. And then I've heard about Reiser's file truncation problems. I use Reiser and no big problems."
---"- _BUT_ there's something strange. Basically during disk I/O, the whole system is unresponsive. While I'm compiling something, KDE becomes slow, playing videos is not smooth at all, etc. Just as if it didn't scale at all for concurrent disk access. So I finally switched back to ReiserFS just because of this. Maybe the 2.5.x series of kernel behaves differently.
I've had the same problems on 2.2.X when I didn't tweak my HD's to dma66 32 bit. Try doing a:
hdparm/dev/(drive linux is on) hdparm -tT/dev/(drive linux is on)
If you dont like those settings, Drop into single user mode, with / read only and do this command
hdparm -X66 -d1 -u1 -m16 -c3/dev/hda
Now manually do a fsck on that partition. If you have errors, it's a bad mode. But if it works, then redo the -tT option (it's a benchmark).
Be aware that 2.4 does most of this for you, but sometimes can give to little of a setting (so your performance sucks). Then again, you could have an unsupported IDE device.
