    Exactly, and why should I when there has been a wonderful invention called a thumb screw :P
    My entire computer uses thumb screws, so no need for a screwdriver :P

    So how does a $200 shitty keyboard compair with a virtual keyboard? They are different. A keyboard makes the same char no matter how you press the key, a piano makes different sounds depending on how you press a key. I just don't see how you can compair them.

  8. Re:Proprietary drivers on Intel to Increase Linux Support, Release Centrino Drivers · · Score: 1

    excuse me? I think it's more your card sucks rather then the drivers cause most people don't have problems with the drivers. Maybe not overclock the card/cpu/ram and then you won't get random lockups. Bloody hells, it's easy to blame nvidia for your lockups rather then figuring out the real problem.

    and if your vid card only locks up you can ssh in and restart gracefully, have you tried? if you can't ssh in, it's not the videocard, it's something more...

    To this day I can't run their quicktime movies on Linux:

    There, quicktime on linux.

    Don't try and tell me that Darwin is their contribution because we all know it's crippleware.

    Hrm... Looks like a full bsd distro to me, just no aqua. So I guess all BSD's are crippled?

    I know I'll get flamed for this but I need to vent my frustrations

    Why? Was it *your* work that they "took"? If you write code and release it in a licence that allows Apple to do this, is it's Apple's fault? Not in my book bub, it seems to me that Apple is doing the right thing for them as a company, for their investors and for the people who want the product Apple is selling. To me it seems like you just are a bit jealous of Apple for some unknown reason, maybe you just can't afford one?

    Anyway, IMNSHO, fuck off...

  13. Re:Will we be stuck behind the times? on XFree86 4.4: List of Rejecting Distributors Grows · · Score: 5, Informative

    except if you notice that openbsd and gentoo, both source only compiles won't include it. The problem is the licence is simlar to bsd's but requires extra credit to be placed all over the distro. Anything that links to the xfree code that is gpled or uses a bsd licence is breaking the gpl/bsd licence because of the extra stuff they need to do in order to link to the libarys. In order to make a distro with 4.4 included, you would need to rewrite every app that links to X to the X licence, else you are breaking the gpl and as a distro maintainer, you'd be responcable for the breaks.

  19. Re:Congrats on AMD Back in the Black · · Score: 1

    well at the time there were no mobos that had the overheating problem, and no intel boards do as well, the intel cpu clocks itself down, while amd's, even with no mobo support, just dies. I think it was saing that while AMD's works fine, they don't have all the lil extras ondie that intel does.

  20. Re:Congrats on AMD Back in the Black · · Score: 1

    It's a nightmare for sure, as my brother's cpu water block sprung a leak and well, it happens. A friend of mine once put the clip on wrong and his heatsink did fall off when he moved the comp, so it does happen from time to time, but it's not often.
