Don’t do it. Whatever you heard. I have personal experience with the “drivers” right now. And compared to them, the nVidia ones are a wonderful dreamland of milk and honey. (Talking about the proprietary fglrx drivers.)
The Linux “team” of ATi is a one-man-show, and focuses only on workstations. Everything else is simply ignored. Sometimes out of luck, they drop some crumbs of features that are useful. But they only got compositing some weeks ago. Video playback still is horrible, with only mpeg2-style codecs accelerated. And so badly rendered, that you basically have to turn it off. Like applying a lens effect on the histogram. glowing white, deep black, nearly nothing in-between. You can expect weird crashes, that do not happen when I then boot with the nVidia onboard card and try again. They only just updated the driver to support the new kernel interfaces, after the old ones they used were so outdated, that they were completely removed from the kernel! There are other weird graphics errors with areas not being redrawn. And if X crashes, you can expect to press the cold reset button, because you can’t get to any console anymore. Also don’t dare to switch to a console and back too quickly, or do it at all, without atieventsd running. Because then you also have to reset.
And that is for the 4850! I don’t think that with the 5xxx series it will be better than back when the 4xxx was new. (When neither compositing, nor Xinerama or video playback worked at all. Let alone all of them together.)
ATi have great hardware, but really really bad drivers. For Windows too (ask any game or demo developer). Just there it’s less visible because everybody knows how to route around.
If you’re not planning on using a card that’s at least one or two generations back, with the open radeon (or radeonhd) drivers, stay faar away from ATi.
Uuum, wouldn’t it be more like a machine that constantly digs up some soil, and throws it behind itself, to accelerate?
Of course, here the “soil” constantly digs itself up. But you’re still “taking that “stuff”, and throwing it behind yourself. It just happens to zero itself out after this, if I understand it correctly.
I would bet money, that we will get some very interesting effects and new science out of even trying this. Like finding out why it does not work. Or why/how the symmetry is not violated because of something weird.
But why do you have to think of weapons? What you said could be said about nukes too. But it did not change much, because 1. Others will have that weapon too, and 2. To what planet will you go back after destroying it? You know... To breathe! ^^
It’s a matter of power. The one with the most power is the one who defines right and wrong. That’s why I always say, that the laws are an illusion. They are only true as long as the one with the most power stands behind them.
...you prosecute others because they laugh at you?
You know what’s great about this?
1. That way, they won’t ever learn from it, and continue to make stuff available for us. 2. Since they can by definition never remove it from the Internet, once it’s out in the public, their chase will never stop.
The stuff is already floating though the P2P nets. Just wait until someone creates a distributed Wikileaks site inside a darknet. Try to shut that down! ^^
I hope they get even more arrogant, and start putting their whole database in the open, with a redaction system based on black rectangles. ^^
Yarrr! GTFO with your **AA newspeak FUD! Go back to your **AA masters and hail them you drone!
I swear, soon I’m gonna stab anyone who ever uses that word in that context again. Help mother nature a bit with the natural selection of total fucking retards!
Ford built a Fiesta with a two-stroke engine that achieved 1.4l/100km (that’s 168 mpg!) in 1996! Not a drawing. Not a experimental model. No, a real driving prototype car. Looked just like a normal Fiesta.
I wonder why it took until now, for something that’s still worse to come out. If I were the Ford engineer, I would be angry as hell.
Still shorter than the time you took to generate your message. What did you use? VoiceXML with a dial plate phone to a virtual machine on the oldest phone VMWare mobile supports, running Linux which is running Emacs which is running another virtual machine running a browser with a JavaScript virtual machine interpreting raw C code simulating a whole Apache server with PHP interpreting Ruby with the VoiceXML application?
There are no differing nipples and holes anymore, so you can’t fail anymore. Which means that you can put it together in a wrong way without noticing. Oh, wait, there is a list of how to put it together, killing the whole point of putting a puzzle together.
I don’t think that that way it will have any chances, after this little hype is over.
4.5 hours of TV a day? On average? Wait, so after 8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of work, 1 hour of getting up in the morning and driving, 1 hour of eatin and 4.5 hours of TV, there are only 1.5 hours left?
That’s messed up, man! Even spending those 4.5 hours on/. is better than that. Think about it. You throw away 18.75% of your life! With 78 years, that’s 14.625 years! That’s as much as the whole pre-puberty life, plus some more! Thrown away. For nothing.:/
I’d say: 1. Well, you should have though about that some years ago, shouldn’t you? 2. Be a man, have some balls, and stand by the fact that you did the RHPS.
Seriously. Why cave to some retards with prejudiced opinions created from seeing some pictures of you on the net? Fuck them! If they think it was what they wanted to do back then, then they should be proud of what they did! Do not act according to others define as cool. Define what is cool, by acting accordingly! (If one ever wants to lead anything, then that rule is a must.)
And that’s not all. In five minutes he will have had a rape party with a dozen monkeys while wearing a Borat style “swimsuit”, stilettos and a huge assblaster in 2004. ^^
Boy, I used to translate instructions on how to make TNT and spread them in the school. I also had full professional instructions on how to build a nuclear bomb. The whole shit. I did not understand much of the formulas back then. And maybe the most dangerous was that famous “Cookbook” which I knew of, because my father had the original and most likely used it to fight off the Russians in Afghanistan back then.
But it’s all lost now.:( Which probably is better for me not being in Jail in five minutes. ^^
Face it. You will never get all the stuff off the Internet. That‘s like filtering packets with a blacklist.
I heard that in the US it’s rather easy to change your name (other than here in Germany, where you have to have a name like Hitler Likestogetraped to get it changed). Use it. Seriously.:)
And then don’t ever use that new name anywhere on the open Internet. At all. Ever. Period.
How fucked up is your view of sex?? And online porn is not even sex!
Were you raised by religious nutjobs who got trained to associate sex with something bad, because everyone loves sex, and that makes everyone a sinner, who then is easily controllable?
Or did you just never had sex and are now disgruntled about it?
Must be a sad life. But at least I hope it prevents you from reproducing. If it doesn’t, then your kinds will end up like that couple who was 35 years old and wondered why they never got children from the stork. Until the doctor had to tell them that you have to have sex to get children.
Sex is nice. Sex is fun. Sex is the reason we all even exist. It’s nothing to hide or be ashamed of. Sadly, often the only ones with a healthy attitude towards nudity and sex, are small children who were not indoctrinated yet, and just find it interesting or run around nude and see nude people without acting like idiots.:/

You talk like this was a matter of logic.
It’s a matter of power. The one with the most power is the one who defines right and wrong.
That’s why I always say, that the laws are an illusion. They are only true as long as the one with the most power stands behind them.
A) That’s what Saddam said. Look how well that worked out. ;)
B) That’s what Osama said. And he was right. ;)
C) What if it’s in a darknet. With many copies. That will be next to impossible to attack.
D) I say, if they want to take the hoster down, then host it on their own servers and watch them taking themselves down. :D
...you prosecute others because they laugh at you?

Yeah. Redundant. Because I was the first one mentioning it. Good job retarderator.

All chase is best when it involves a little bit of sex, imo. :D
If you wanted to see Magnolia, I recommend not to click the above link. It may well be the biggest spoiler ever. Sorry, forgot about that.
Wouldn’t a Hypnotoad hailstorm be more effective?
Looks like a low-quality Q3A remake.
I don’t think it can beat Q3A CPMA (and Defrag) though. Especially not with the XreaL engine and High Quality Quake models and textures.

Sounds like a typical Japanese sexy party to me... ^^

Uuum, what stops you from doing the same thing on Linux? Every partition / logic volume can be partitioned again, and so on.
Maybe I don’t get the difference.
What’s wrong with simply using “make oldconfig”?
For you. For me the reasonable price for this (where I would buy one) lies at $20-25. That’s right. That’s how much a dollar from me is worth to me.
Mmmmhh... Christmas trees... *drool*
