No, I run all up to date drivers and firmware. I've used the card in multiple motherboards, 1 with a via chipset, the other with an nvidia chipset, both with the same result. They make shit drivers.
Your post shows your incredible debate skills, arguments based on assumptions. You make an assumption then you call me a moron?
Not that it's any of your business, but I am a certified PC technician by trade, I know enough about what I'm doing to know that the card is the problem.
I for one would never buy another ATI graphics card. I won't even consider getting an XBOX 360 because it has ATI graphics. My friend both have different ATI cards and we both have stability problems (no overclocking, AC room). I will be in the middle of playing a game and *WHAM* GPU crash (I know it's not the game because the ATI GPU recovery agent comes up, and it happens all the time for all 3D games). Never had any problems with Nvidia.
The IE google bar can be placed to display on the same line as file, edit, view... so that it doesn't take up extra screen real estate but the ff version doesn't work like that, maybe its the fault of FF (which is my assumption) but its still unusable IMHO, when your screen is 10.4"@1024x768 you do what you can to maximize the viewable area of your browser window. This extension, while long anticipated by me, is not appreciated.
Thats probably because you don't understand port forwarding or "connectable". When I use BT I have to cap my download speed so others on the network don't get excessive lag.
Aside from politicials that they bribe^H^H^H^H^H lobby, does anyone care what the *IAA says? They have been claiming that the sky is falling for years meanwhile they also report recort profits. The only thing I'de care to hear from them is "We are sorry, we were wrong, free advertising is great."
Using the logic behind the *IAA's argument roads should be outlawed because they can be used to traffic drugs and other such illegal things. Targeting idividual users is the only thing that the law really should allow. I believe our copyright and patent system needs reform, but until that happens stealing copyrighted works is still a punishable offense.
If longhorn will be out soon, it seems kind of pointless to buy XP x64. I'm building a Athlon 64 system right now and for the time being it will run Windows XP x64 RC2. That release will be "good" for 360 days, if Longhorn is going to be out before then I think I will just bypass the full version of x64 altogether.
Not only do SFF computers have weaker power supplies, they are SMALL. The GeForce 6800 Ultra cards afaik all take up 2 slots (one connector, double wide though). And from benchmarks I've seen using two 6800 non-ultras doesn't equal the performance of a single 6800 Ultra. Plus the system would have to have some crazy cooling going on and would likely be very loud. The only way I see this being reasonable is if they use a internal power supply + an external.
It seems like every couple of months or so we hear about some company violating the GPL. When are the OSS programmers going to do something about it? IMO it's not even close to enough for a violating company to say "Oops, we're sorry, here is the code" It's called commertial copyright infringement and the true copyright holders aught to sue the companies for every dime they can get. Companies violate the GPL because they feel its good for their bottom line. Someone should prove it isn't.
The first three (last three) do not hold up to their hype, Episode 1 was a lousy movie, can't comment on number 2. Weak plot, weak acting ok effects. I know they were "great" for their time but not anymore, and the effects were the only thing that made it any good.
At roughly $1 per song (except at allofmp3.com or course) that translates to $12-$15 per album (services may offer discounts for full album purchases but I'm not aware of them), with all sorts of DRM. Now some may argue that if you buy a CD you don't 'own' the CD, you merely own a license but you still have the right to sell it, you can listen to it on any CD player as opposed to just the computer you used to download it and maybe a digital audio player, you can easily and legally make backup copies (only for your own purposes) and you can rip it to your HDD in a lossless format if so desired instead of being stuck with a 128k mp3/aac (or whatever iTunes is offering). You have a nicely printed CD jacket sometimes with intersting band info or lyrics. I think the most I would pay for a downloaded song is about $.25
My experience is that with homemade computers getting stuff to work on either Windows or Linux is very easy (just buy stuff that has support). But i have spent entirely too much time navigating dell.com and gateway.com trying to find windows drivers. Linux has nice utilities like lspci to find what hardware you have, more often than not if Windows can't find a driver for a device you have to crack the case open to see what it is, device manager often just gives useless info like unsupported network device. I also like how linux supports chipsets rather than brands. Now linux on laptops is another story, mostly because ACPI doesn't work all the well in my experience.
I don't see much difference between these guys and a stalker excpet these guys are stalking everybody. I wonder if it would be possible to take out a restraining order against them.
I have one of these tablets (TC1000) running gentoo. Most of the hardware works but not 100%. For instance, the pen works but is really choppy and there is no configuration program so you have to spend about 1/2 an hour starting then exiting X and changing the xorg.conf device settings by hand. If you use GDM the pen doesn't work at all. There is also no way to emulate a third button with the pen since you have to press the #2 button and tap the screen (which is also how it works in windows). the.xmodmaprc on this site might work except gnome just says it will ignore it. Ive yet to get rotate to work, perhaps if i used the "nv" rather than "nvidia" driver. The point is, the support for the device is in such a state that linux can be used as the primary OS but not in a corporate enviornment.
I have 256MB of RAM (at $80 for a 128MB DIMM why not?) now, i dont run any server software because this is a single user box but the swap partition on my hard drive has never been touched. this man has 128 and you are trying to say he needs 256MB swap and 3 hard disks to do it? if it were an internet server hed have 512+ RAM so ill assume its not a server , 127 should be more than adequate for this

These guys beat them to it
Maybe if some Nvidia cards start to use this cooler the 6800 Ultra won't need a cooler that blocks the adjacent slot.

It's not like fingerprints are hard to fake anyway.
Just see here.

Well, because they seem to be in compiance with it now.
Look here
Notice the part where they offer the code to the GPL software they use.

Actually, Apple doesn't do very much *first* they just put things in a pretty package and claim credit. (gui, ipod iTunes music store)

Because despite all the pro linux rhetoric on slashdot, the developers develop for IE apparently.
I would probably eat them. Are we talking Google pasta or Google ramen?
Mmmmm Google and cheese.

If you don't know how to use a computer than perhaps you shouldn't be using it to do your banking with.
