DRI and DirectFB and DirectFBGL are three COMPLETLY DIFFERENT BEASTS
DRI is the 3D driver that is working with libGL.so DirectFB is the 2D layer. DirectFBGL is a concoction of DirectFB for openGL interface; this simply points at the openGL service.
In no way does having a peice of hardware not supported by DirectFB mean you are without hardware-accelerated 3d graphics. Remember, people, each package has a purpose. If you don't have a supported 2D framebuffer driver, yet your hardware has support for VESA, then DirectFB will work just fine and slower on your hardware by using its VESA drivers. If you have a hardware supported by DRI, yet it doesn't have support for 2D framebuffer, you are not stuck because you can use DirectFB's VESA drivers and still have hardware-accelerated openGL (via DRI) that is limited by the performance of your hardware's VESA support.
If anyone wants to try an alternative Framebuffer + DRI driver, independent from DirectFB, run over to http://fbdri.sourceforge.net; only Radeon users need apply. FBDRI supports Radeon's 2D framebuffer AND makes use of Radeon's DRI support, with windowed-rendering; whilst DirectFB can only support VESA on the Radeon.

That's the nastiest association of dots I've ever experienced. Brail PDA's are the New Hotness(TM) of the computer era. Nobody will wonder why their husband's right hand is always in his pocket... Maybe Al Bundy cares to comment?
It's a late night at the pool hall. All the big shots are in this game and it's a big one. The bar tender is anxious to close, but lets the men finish their game. At 1:30AM, everyone's eyes are fixed on their cards, some are tiring... The bets have already been made, just waiting for the bluff to come by. The steaks are medium rare, the Chef won't stop typing the scenic introduction, or my name is Leslie Nielson. The highest bet so far is the keys to a mansion! Light gleams onto the green table...
[Ma'gilla Ballmer]: Scott, do you have an 8?
[McNealyBoy]: You best be headin' to the bait shop, 'cause yooz go'an fishin!
They were tireless, in respects to their every attempt to seize a good card. And I don't mean trumped gin. Almost all the cards were on the table. Only a few players were willing to admit what cards they realy had left.
[Fiorina]: Bill, do you have Security?
[Master Gates]: Nope: not until after Longhorn merges with XP2 and NT_2005; go fish, my surrogant queen./horny grin
Some would say the game was endless, but that all depended on who wanted to be honest and show what cards they realy held in their hand. The only player on the field, albeit the most hairy one of them all, was betting the keys to his church. You could say he was bluffing on his bet, because GNU isn't owned by anyone and thus is known commercially as a PUBLIC TRUST, but some are rigid in their own ways. This one player never hid his cards, and he new how to win the game: he waves his cards at everyone so they may see; no secrets...
[RMS]: Alright ladies and gentle-jerks^H^H^H^H^Hmen; I have an 8 of diamonds, Security (Joker), and a Jack. Anyone need?
[McNealyBoy]: I'll take that Jack...oh thanks, I only have two cards remaining!
[Ma'gilla Ballmer]: Ooh, ooh! I'll take that 8 from you, ooh! Yeah, ooh ooh! Four cards in my hand!
[Master Gates]: I need that Security. Thanks, brother.../evil grin

PayPal does not accept benefits from the United States (federal), and thus it is not a part of the federal venue or is a federal citizen as it is not registered with the United States Patent Office.
PayPal, neither, is liable to follow the guidlines of the United States Department of Treasury because it is not chartered by the United States Federal Reserve. Yes, "FICA pass-through insurance" is offered, but that is a reality as money sent to paypal is often from a Federal-regulated bank and into a foreign bank.
Sorry to brake this to you people, I affirm these as facts. Do some research and read extensivly between the lines and do all you can to recognize all the gray area of the law. Yes, you can be your own Church, with a State (a person(a), transmuting utility; such as a trust and you or a State of _____ may be a Trustor). I have my own Treasury... it is filled with worthless Federal Reserve Paper I printed with my inkjey paper.

[News Anchor]: Hello and welcome to The Weather(TM). Now for Hell-Michigan's forecast, SlashdotTroll, takes it away.
SlashdotTroll: Yeah, thankyou *BSD IS DYING Troll. Hell, Michigan (zipcode #48169) received its first below-32F freeze about November and just now what you're feeling is the warmth that'll get all those nasty people out of our county. You know who you are; the ones that instictivly begin their comment with "...when Hell freezes over". It's march for Hell-Michigan, so I recommend that anyone who says anything about us that doesn't correlate with our forecast should be immediatly flogged in public and forced to buy a postcard from our all-in-one-hole-in-the-wall GeneralStore/PostOffice/GroceryStore/Pharmacy/Auto motiveDepartment/RealEstateAgency.
SlashdotTroll: Coming up next! The forecast of Hell-Michigan's sister county: Hellhole-Idaho. If only I can remember their zipcode...anyone in our audience, of maybe 10 people, call in with that information? Enjoy the commercials...
The only thing you pointed out was that the UNETHICAL and anti-considerate of the shrinking administrative people scrutinize on visual appearance-not by merit, but by any wealthy clothing that is worn. This is a BAD THING(TM). When third-world countries develop, they aren't thinking about dressing in expensive clothing; they are thinking about what they are going to eat today and what they hope to feed their families tomorrow. Don't pull any of this DRESS FOR SUCCESS bull shit on anyone. Ties don't win the hearts of people; it's a metaphore for a rope around your neck as if you are an animal on a leash. Clean clothing doesn't build computer software; hands coordinated by skillfully inclined minds build software and any ethical and good business would above-all consider a medical plan for its employees; not waste anyone's immediate and already stretched hard-earned money on clothes that are expensive to maintain.
And you have broken the number-one rule: JEDI CRAVE NOT THESE THINGS.
I know you mean well, but this is somthing I know we all understand *should* change. With everyone dressing in black, this would imply we are all JUDGES OF EACHOTHER and live in a Roman Catholic Church.
Thanks alot McGuyver. I was *planning* on being frightened to mental-insanity. Now the _least_ I'll get would be pre-meditated manslaughter... (why are you looking at me strangly?)
So, are they destroying Sudam Husein's property, or are they returning the subjective property back to the recently liberated subjects of Sudam Husein?
Yes, I dare you answer; because this is the most intelligent question that I, uber SlashdotTroll, can ask in order to improve thy depleted karma.
Too bad the Foreman grill only takes a few minutes to cook something...
I'm waiting for the day they agree on a low-profile computer case and multi-cpu motherboard so the tops of the CPUS' heatsinks peek at the top...then we'll see who has the hottest grill! I know that Foreman fella is using rejected AMD Athlon XP CPUs! I know it, I know he struck a deal with AMD!
DAMN YOU FOREMAN! *oomph, thud*
Foreman: Now that's what I call beatin' down a chicken!
Can't you at-least recognize that the parent poster is a troll as I am?
I want to drag this troll back down to my level: he doesn't deserve purgatory by slashmod; mod him down to the same depths of slash hell as I, standing on his/her head deep in feces again!
-- No -- I'm a little fatter than I'd like to be, -- but I'm certainly not *very* fat. In a baggy -- shirt, it's hard to tell that I'm not still -- skinny, in fact.
And to think, I would've thought timothy could've dipped his hand into the bottomless bag of duplicated information and responded to this AC with somthing like "and in other news, FAT is no longer used in Microsoft Window$%#$5 erm that's right I have fat cells, lipids specifically, in my body just as everyone else. If having excessive FAT on my body is evil, then so too is having more than 1 hour of battery uptime on a laptop. EXCESSIVE ENERGY STORAGE IS GOOD, YOU AC BASTARD!"
At least, that's the "timothy" that I wish would be my hero, but instead he's just the guy that changes the subject on a whim... So, Timothy, if I ask you about the velocity of an unladen spitwad, would you ask details of the nationality of the animal or human that spit it, the bolus maturity of the wad, the diameter of the straw which it was ejected through, or would you start talking about the gorillas in the mist?
The building codes are mature, and they are of great reference for those that are not bound by the laws.
Yahoo has a verry patriotic story in support of America.
Alas, many people ignore building codes and thus may lead to degredation of the property.
Still, nothing warrants a nimble attitude as a building inspector outside his or her jurisdiction in forcing you to be compliant with codes you are not bound by; codes are not law, last I heard.
