Well, I noticed that it has to fit the driver. And some installations change the association. So you then end up with an XvMC of nVidia, with the main driver from Xorg, or something like that. It gets even worse, when you did not reinstall the external driver after a kernel update, so that the module can't get loaded anyway.
In gentoo you would do emerge -atv nvidia-drivers and eselect xvmc set nvidia after a kernel update, when using the nvidia binary blob drivers.
They argue, that it gives you the best performance, and if you need it, money does not matter.
But what they completely conceal, is that for that price, you can get up to four other CPUs! With will give you way more power than those 230%. (Roughly around 350%-450%.) For the same price.
What we need in the consumer area, are those server boards, that take 4 CPUs (or more?). Then nobody cares for top speed per die anymore.
How about making one happen? I would come... if I weren't in Germany. ^^
Ask the people of this festival, if you could start a franchise festival at your place, and if you could work together to get you going. Protip: Contact some event managers. And let your visitors pay for their work. It will be worth it.
You know... I have my Gentoo server since 2001 now. I changed the whole hardware. Twice. Had numerous problems. And solved them. Something that I never had been able to do with previous systems. Even Linux ones. The point was, that the installation forced me to finally understand the OS. To me this even was a fun process. (And the forum people and wikis helped me more than words can say.)
So it basically ran nice for more than 8 years. And to re-configure it all would take at least a month. That's how customized to my preferences it is. So it would be a path with a huge resistance.
My opinion is, that when reinstalling is the path of least resistance, then either you never really used or understood your computer (Just using some desktop apps does not count as using. I mean real things. Automation. Saving you real time.), or your OS is a piece of crap. ^^
Ok, I like to do god-like kung-foo too. It's the most fun game I know.

LOL. I like your humor.
Also: Interesting approach, to think of errors as a functionality too. I know, it's obvious, if you just got out of a course about defined states in state machines. But you tend to forget it. Should make me create some interesting hacks.:D
Doesn't the Haskell compiler automatically figure out, how to spread things to threads and when to do what? I thought that was the point of declarative programming.
... we have to go trough the whole miniaturization race again, that already happened with phones.
Remember when phones got smaller, and smaller, and lighter, and lighter. Until people were unable to use them anymore. It was even parodied. For example in the movie "Dodgeball", where a main character owned a phone that was roughly this size: http://www.unwiredview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/mds-mobile-projector.jpg
Then the phones got bigger again. Even bigger PDAs came out. Etc.
A full qwertz keyboard only makes sense, if the keys are at least as wide, as the distance between your fingers. And then still, it's a real pain to type on them, unless the halves are split by an angle, and positioned correctly.
Luckily, I'm working on a nice thing, that might end the need for keyboards. (No, I can't give you details. Cry me a river.:P)
Because it's something you can't do in real life. As cruel as it sounds. People like everything. Some would fuck fat goats grannies on fire. And it's normal that many people form the borders of the gauss curve.
Point is: As long as it hurts nobody, who cares?
It's a nice thing, that we have computers, which allow to do many things, without hurting anybody.
Oh, and why don't you think that games and tv shows showing/allowing massive killing sprees 24-like bullying, and many other crimes, is somehow ok? Right: Because it's not real.
It's like dreaming of something. Imagining it. Same thing, just with the assistance of a tool that extends the capabilities of your brain.
Oh, and my father told me, that he found it strange, that people here marry so late after their puberty, and also were so immature. Down there, they married at 12/13, and had to be grown up, or they would go crazy or die. Guess what country I mean. ^^
This is China. Where software (or movies) is what you get for $1 off a street vendor, who sells burned CDs. He probably does not even have a telephone. In a land, where MS is out of the evil enemy country, that you like to hurt, and where priacy still means people on boats, capturing ships. So: Good luck with that! ^^
Well, does that Athlon XP machine offer to be as lightweight, portable, modern (in interfaces), low-temperature, and most of all: have such a long battery life? (8-10h!!)
Tell me how a Chinese guy will get that $150 PC. Because besides stating it, you do not explain how they would have access to it? The ones in the shops will be much more expensive, and still miss the display, mouse, keyboard, and any additional hardware (like an accelerated video playback, which this one has.)
Also, $99 is only the start, and 150% still is 50% more expensive. Imagine that your $1000 PC would cost $1500, and you know how that feels for them.:)
Sad that people can sue for their own stupidity.:/
I think here in Germany, if you did not deliberately hurt someone, the judge would throw the case out, and tell you to use your freakin' eyes. ^^
You are right that there is much crap and parasites. But what apparently nobody knows anymore, is that we are made for this. The skin, especially the horny skin of the feet, is a very good protective layer. Nearly nothing can penetrate it, if it's in the natural state it is meant to be. Just look at the natives that run though the jungle in just a penis-hiding something, all day long.
Again, I have one solution: Use your eyes. And if you somehow did not look, and it also penetrated the skin, put some skin antibiotics and disinfeting stuff on it, and the next day, you're good again.
I think what most people forget, is that shoes are a special tool, for cases that are too extreme, even for the natural protections. Like extreme heat, coldness, or dangerous materials. There it's a nice tool. But for day-to-day things, like going shopping, being in your garden, and going to work: If you *need* shoes for it, something is very wrong with that place.:)
I read the background about MBT. It's actually something between just as bad as regular shoes, and even worse. Additionally, you still create the perfect living space for athlete's foot. ^^ MBT also actively suppresses studies that show this.
Yeah. Right. So how do you know about girls, from your basement, that you apparently never left. Because else, you would know better:
1. There is some advanced technology, that prevents you from stepping into anything bad. It's called eyes. And from my experience, it works very well. 2. There is as second technology, that's called horny skin. And it even protects from most things that you did not see. I can step onto bees and many thorns without fear. 3. I get some girl talking to me, saying that it's cool that I'm doing that, grinning at me in a flirting way, and wanting to learn to know me, from once a month to once a week, in the summer time. Even though I'm 25 kg overweight. 4. As I said, I wear really cool clothes, and am well-groomed (correct translation of "gepflegt"?). People literally tell me that I look like a Hawaiian from the beach. Pretty cool, eh? 5. Are you jealeous, or just unable to comprehend, that it works pretty well for me. 6. Who cares. Go ahead and continue to live like you do. It will result in more girls for cool people. TYVM. ^^
Dunno... Eye joost ayt a frayeded Mars bawr. No eye keent tok now moar.;)
Just as a note: I would never say that all people of a group are stupid. (Except if they are the "Union of Stupid People" or something like that. ^^) British coastlines are also very beautiful too.
I just hope you still got the power to save your once proud country.:/
It's not only trust. It's also human inertia. Somthing that is normally useful, but bad in this case. It always hurts to change something, before it feels good. You just have to be aware of it, and go trough anyway.
But you are right, that it's wrong to battle selfishness. One should change what people want, and then encourage their "selfishness". ^^ It's not that easy, but politicians and the news media do it every day. So we can learn it too, and become even better. (Because I think we got more brain power.) How about that?:)
Imagine a world with one country, one party, one OS, and one ISP, and you instantly see, what's wrong with that idea. It's like the US party system. Ary it's the same thing that is wrong with monopolies. Look what Microsoft could do to the IT world with that.
I like my Linux freedom of choice! Thankyouverymuch.

Exactly. They are not harmful.
You can do a simple test: Tell me, who got harmed, and how that person got harmed.

So it's already the year of Linux on the desktop, we just completely missed it?
If only you could make it look like some Apple OS, and not like a 90s niche UI with 90s website background images. ^^
It's only looks, right, but it's what counts in the first moments of deciding if you like it or not.
