I just got to wonder, why the hell do people keep saying that? I've never had problems with ATI drivers - especially since I use boards that are actually supported by the drivers...
And the new driver release ATI just came up with (aug. 18th) is sweet!
I've never had an employer who would say anything about me using the phone for personal stuff nor surfing on the job. If you get the job done and on time you won't be bothered.
They inflate the price on a product while the patent is valid - which is kind of the point, but an example from just last week where I had to buy medicine for infection in one nail. The pharmacist told me that I was "lucky" that the patent had expired, the drug used to cost $500, but now since the patent had expired it was available at $40. Theres no bloody way you can tell me that you need more than a 10 fold markup to cover the research!
That would only hold true if the system worked flawlessly and customers could work it at speed, but looking at other posts here it would seem to be the contrary, in fact some mentions that some of the systems need manager intervention, so in stead of cheap labor at the registers, you now need a manager...
Yeah except US et al is running around in Iraq, and the crazy maniac that got "voted" in as president is gunning for Iran too - on top of that we got a lunatic sitting in North Korea seriously considering going into war with just about anyone...
I'm seriously thinking about figureing out where the nearest bombshelter is even though I'm some 3000km from the nearest war.
Nice prediction, but you are wrong. While MS sits firmly on desktop market it's going to be hard going beyond 2 cores unless you do your stuff on linux. Granted some of us are going to buy the multicore setups, but thats because we need the power and feel at home with linux.
On top of that, last time I checked the cache wasn't shared, which means we won't get anything really usefull with more cores unless they start doing crossbar switching in the cache (expensive, but damn its nice).
When you raise the barrier, the other guy will follow! Thats why the world "leaders" got nukes, when someone ups the ante you fold or follow. Thats why most homocides here in Denmark are done with knifes - we haven't raised the stakes to guns! If people started showing off guns homocides would increase, with knifes you can try to run and defuse the situation, with a gun you got big trouble.
That would fall under assertions, check is for local table integrity, assertions is for database integrity.
The Check problems I've been faceing was back in 7.x so things might very well have changed since then, but I had trouble with basic check constraints, such as checking the number of certain keys wasn't kombined with any other keys more than x times.
I work part time as sysadmin for the government, and I chose to do so because, well, things happen at a slower pace. When I'm not working here, I got my studies to tend to, so I love a job where I don't have to stress anything, and when I'm off work - I'm off, theres no calling me at 3 a.m. because something doesn't work. If it's broken people just send an email and expect me to deal with it when I find the time to do so.
Pay attention. The article says that SONY is telling the developers to avoid using local memmory at all - that means, it won't be fixed in the retail version.

Think you should add that this is a linux issue, on windows you use the catalyst control center and tell the drivers to mind its own buisness.
As someone else points out, you never have any guarentee that the code has been audited anyways.
And to debunk one of you other claims, the new ATI drivers actually support multiple monitors with different resolutions.

Well they did say it in a movie... And we all know that what we see in movies are real, don't we?

Why does a printed book take precedence over online text?
What a load of crap!

I feel safer without a gun, in fact most people around here don't own a gun (Denmark) - and lo and behold, we rarely see deaths from guns.
You know, that might just be it, get the porn industry involved - they would have it figured out in no time.

Postgress lack advanced integrity constraints and assertions.
MySQL isn't ACID out of the box.
Ohh, and the big three DB vendors have all put out a free version of their respective DB.
You know whats even worse? 40% of sickdays are mondays and fridays!
Depends on alot of things I should say.

Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large crowds...
Easy solution, throw all trafic through TOR http://tor.eff.org/, and make sure the exit points are in europe.
Yeah I figured that from the other posts, but my point still stands, they won't "fix" it when they tell developers not to use it.
When all you got is a hammer everything looks like a nail...
Why on earth use Ruby for doing spreadsheets? Use a proper accounting program and the problems would be far less.

Very interessting indeed - anyone from NL who knows the law there?
My favorite torrent site is hosted there (not tpb).
God you deserve a +5 funny for that
