Forgive the cheesiness, but I use OSS because I disagree with the fundamental hyper-capitalistic philosophies of modern plantion/slave owners (insert Microsoft's name here), and because I do agree with the ideology behind OSS.
I don't know if Nvidia's drivers are open source or not, but they already do a heck of a lot more of work with the community on driver issues than anyone else. And oh, about the install: RTFA!
So if the very worst thing possible happened and SCO got their wish and seized all the Linux IP, shouldn't they have to pay all the developers who volunteered their time for their work?
You mean people still think that AMD Duron 1Ghz CPUs = Current Athlon XP's? The heat dissipation problem was fixed long ago. And of course P4s disipate better than AMDs because the chip itself is bigger, which winds up costing you and me more.

Maybe we can terrorize SCO with some of those WMDs we've confiscated from Iraq.
Why is it that nearly every OS out now has to have an "X" in its name?
Those jokes are so freakin old they don't even touch funny.
But anyway, is this really a fair comparison? A lot of the performance that they measured has to do with how the software is written and compiled.

...often the conservatives have libertarian ideas.
But that since the uber authortarian neocons are in power it doesn't really matter what the rest of the conservatives think, does it?
I can't help but wonder how many people will actually get this.
Sounds to me like they have BIGGER problems than netwrok security if they have a hole in the reactor head that you can stick both your hands through.
Scary! Just as I read the parent crickets started chirping as if they were cued. I've been awake too long.
I virtually got flamed: 15 or so messages. So consider yourself lucky.
Get all your friends to switch to Gaim and then you can use pretty much whatever protocol you want.
Who uses msn, anyway? I thought almost everyone uses the AIM part of Gaim or irc or something.

And this would help the Indians in India how?
Most people think apples are worth enough to hang on to them for quite a while. I have friends who still use their apple IIc's on occasion.
Yeah, and that's just great if it run's like the new P4's L3 cache: http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20030811/index.htm l
