Their current Linux drivers are not good. I cannot use VBOs or shaders without crashing my system, and I have X4500HD which is supposed to be fast and support SM4. The Mesa driver implements OpenGL 2.0 and GLSL 1.10, both of which are outdated. Performance is also slower than in Windows.

My Logitech wireless mouse using proprietary protocol does this too.
In this case the error was evenly distributed, because it was caused by bad UI design. The voters could pull off the card before they finished their voting process.
I start timing my bootup when I hit the power button and I stop timing when wireless authenticates with the router. Currently my bootup time is 31 s. I'm using Eee PC 701 and Xubuntu 8.10 with custom kernel from kernel.org. I hope to see better bootup time with Xubuntu 9.04 and ext4.
I began programming when I was 16. First I made simple chatbots and console i/o to learn C and C++. Then I moved on to graphics programming because it allowed me to learn many useful algorithms and data structures. I remember the glory when I got my first pixel on the screen. I began coding demo effects and software 3D engines. Actually seeing self-made things move on the screen provided me with motivation to learn more. Now, at 25, I write ray tracers and little games.
I found Zenburn several months ago and I absolutely love it. It works fine in GNU Emacs, but I had to install emacs-goodies-el package to get it working.
I got my Eee yesterday and I'm currently downloading eeeXubuntu. Their website says that Fn+FX-keys are supported at least since the upcoming.3 release.
I also got my inspiration to read Catcher in the Rye after watching GITS:SAC:-)
GITS:SAC has more content than the movies (of course, 2 seasons vs. 2 movies) and it's more loyal to the manga. I can't name any other series/movies that deal with political/societal issues raised by humans becoming more like machines (except Blade Runner) and machines becoming more like humans.
Reznor did sound effects for Doom 3, but they didn't get into the released game. They can be downloaded, but iirc he doesn't approve it. He also did music to the Doom movie.

Intel's Linux drivers are a lot slower than Windows drivers. Then again, they support more OpenGL extensions than Windows drivers.
Obama administration has denied more FOIA requests than Bush administration:

I haven't done any benchmarking, but it is hardware accelerated. It also uses OpenGL Shading Language.
Most of the tutorials are outdated and won't work in modern OpenGL core profile. Avoid tutorials that use glBegin(), glVertex(), glLight(), gluPerspective(), glMatrixMode(), glVertexPointer(), or learn just enough from them that you can create a context and draw stuff in Linux. After that you can adapt Windows-specific tutorials's code to Linux. I liked these tutorials:

I suspected as much but when I checked out the zip, it's actually got all the level data there.
But their licence is not the same as the source's.

I think BallmerFS will fsck chairFS.
Flash format specification is available on an open enough licence to be used for making an open source player.
I'm using Kubuntu and I always compile a kernel from kernel.org. I don't even make a .deb, just install it manually.
Adobe's EULA for Flash has changed a few months ago. Now it's possible to read the specs and use them in your own project like Gnash.

There are several flash-heavy sites or blogs like http://www.alexattitude.com/ that will crash my browser every time I visit them.

The cake is a lie, even if it's delicious.
If you read many webcomics, you should consider using a tracking service. I use http://piperka.net/
At least with Kubuntu, you can instruct Adept to install security updates automatically without confirmation.
I fear that it will become too "westernized", meaning that they could drop all religious symbolism etc.
...but does it run on Linux?
