I employ a small child to observe my every keystroke. Whenever he sees the 'C-x C-s C-x k' sequence he presses 'return' on a seperate keyboard (consisting only of an oversized 'return' key) I surgically implanted into the left side of his nose.
I have grown so used to this arrangement that it never occurred to me to add the 'RET' to the end of my.sig
Please accept my apologies for the misleading signature. I may employ a second (again, probably local) child to change my signature in the near future.
OK, but remember the 'nv' driver was written by nVidia, and open sourced (from the same article I can't find). They're quite happy to open source when they can, but I doubt very much that whoever they licensed the 3D acceleration tecnology from would be willing to have said technology opened up for all to see.
Personally, I think it's fair enough that they're not opening their accelerated drivers - the GPU sector is utterly cut-throat, so it makes absolutely no sense for them to give anything away, lest ATI get 0.5FPS higher in Doom3 with stuff 'renegotiated' by nVidia from their licensors.
When that open graphics project comes to fruition, it'll be a toss-up between expensive hardware and open drivers, or cheap hardware and closed drivers. In a fight between my (near empty) wallet and my software development preference, I'm afraid my wallet usually wins. Sometimes the closed source option is the best tool for the job. (Thankfully the situations where this is true are getting less and less).
It's not trade secrets that they're trying to protect - they're using licensed technology in the 3D accelerated drivers, so they can't open-source them. I think I read that in an interview with a nVidia engineer.
The requirement for an MP3 player is exactly proportional to the amount of time a person spends walking.
I walk everywhere, and I can't remember the last time I didn't have an MP3 / MiniDisc player in my pocket.
None of my friends who drive ever carry a Walkman type thing.
I think a scientific study may be in order.
One of the major concerns with cameras in lens size. Small lenses just can't gather enough light, so the gain has to ramped to give a bright enough image, which leads to lots of noise.
Small lenses also cause a lot of edge distortion, and the chances are the lens won't be aspherical, so the chromatic distorion is terrible.
I'm sure 5 MP looks good in the marketing literature though.....

Nope. Try again AC.

Unless he had directories which ended in '.tar', of course...

Could someone mod this up some more?
Responding to trolls is not only evasive of the issue, but also betrays intellectual cowardice.
I've always used 'Lego' as the plural as well as the singular.
Maybe it's a UK thing.
Yeah. Fair enough.
And your point is?

Wasn't this sort of thing the whole reason the BSD license came about?
Nope. The plural of mouse (pointing device) is mice, pronounced something like 'meece'.
Ouch.

BTW, I'm not joking about the drivers not compiling.
