As a sys admin myself.. Systems admins come under a lot of flak because they do not realise their own power , we control the systems and the network and anyone who disobeys us will have file permission problems , web sites blocked and will wake up with decapitated printer heads on their bed. But then I am a Dark lord of the Sys . ..That joke was awful.
Of course this raises a question , Should Microsoft even be competing with Google after MS's numerous convictions.Putting aside the argument that the contract may or may not be valid , I think google would fare far better argue along these lines .
I have two questions for you , Are you sure the card is set up properly ? And are you sure the card is in perfect working order.
I am assuming you are using a stable driver
The only times i have experienced problems whilst stressing a card were a result of 1:) Testing a beta driver , 2) accidentally messing not setting it up properly , 3) the card had a fault in the processor or memory
To be honest it could be a whole host of things , I have ran linux with many different configurations and a multitude of hardware and i can honestly attest to your statement being a little bit unfounded. Slashdot is not a help forum , but their are many out their and many great user groups .
Every distro has one , try asking in forums for your specific distro and I'm sure someone would be glad to help you get the problem fixed .
Only if they paid ATI and NVIDIA to improve their Linux drivers . If MS does a Linux distro (shudder) then basically what you have is a linux distro , even if they port the entire API the drivers would still need rewritten for the kernel . Anyway I have rarely had that much trouble with graphics cards over the last couple of years on linux , NVIDIA are certainly far ahead of ATI in this respect , but my laptop which has a radeon 9000 mobility in works fine including openGL hardware support. Installing it is still a very daunting task for a novice user i would imagine,this is perhaps what needs the most improvement in the proprietary drivers. That and getting the actual support for the newer models . It would be nice to have them GPL their drivers , but i don't see that happening either
So all in all , if MS does release a linux distro it will still be the linux kernel with a windows GUI perhaps and perhaps a port of the API , of course this could raise a whole host of other issues . but that's another story
I have a much stricter view of the term liberal , to which i would ascribe my own political leanings. Defiantly far far more liberal than would be commonly accepted as liberal in the USA. Its a cultural thing i think,and to me they both appear rather authoritarian . To me it is inconceivable that anyone who would call themselves a liberal could believe in censorship in any form,
They are taking advantage of learned behaviours , just not the behaviour you have learnt . I find the interface and keyboard shortcuts most handy on inkscape and a lot more natural than than photoshops .
Perhaps you disagree and so may many others , but sticking to a de-facto standard that may be broken just because everyone knows how to use it is stagnation . I am fairly sure if enough people care about having photoshop emulation in the keyboard settings then someone could make a source patch .
De-facto standards are by their very definitions something that need not be followed , if we all just followed De facto then we all be using windows .
Yeah but that money is not lost to the company , it's a loss to the people who make desktop Gizmos and toys , if it wern't for the internet we would all have to spend countless ammounts on silly toys (well looking at my desk , countless more ammounts) to waste our time with
yes true,violence is natural.In fact everything we do is natural.We are after all nothing more than animals with greater intelligence (though not all that we do is particularly intelligent). We act just as badly with or without laws , only key difference is the type of justice handed out.
but sex and violence are different ends of the spectrum , Destructive Vs constructive . Real life i would pick sex on any day of the week , however i much prefer Violence in Game form.
This is reality,Over there is fantasy. They are not the same thing. This is Thompson , over there is reality,
These things are not the same thing.
I am Thankful this man does not have access to my imagination , as honestly.. and I'm fairly sure i am not alone here in saying this.. there is a hell of a lot more sexually explicit content in my mind.
You're protecting no children here , The kids that actively seek this stuff out are clearly already thinking about nudity and sex and are rather curious , its a process we all go through and it's a lot of fun. Mostly though i assume its used for pure comic value Take this stuff away and kids will move to other pastures (which I'm sure most already have seen by this point ), porn mags , porn sites , "you show me yours , I'll show you mine" , etc.
Plus added to the fact that this is an honest to goodness mod , and was not included by the developers in the original package and had nothing to do with it , which just serves to drive this to ludicrous proportions.
Sex and the human body are natural , Children/young adults get curious about it , Shielding them from it when they clearly are ready to start understanding it is just going to cause more harm than good.
"won't someone think of the children" and their development into adults . Protecting young children from obtrusive influences when they are young and clearly not ready to handle things is great , protecting children who are ready to take another step towards adulthood is just silly. This is the job of the parents and the child to decide when they are ready . This has fork all to do with the state . I agree with sensible ratings which describe the content , though i find age ratings ludicrous. Thompson obviously has some serious issues he needs to work through , Perhaps he should worry about his own family instead of trying to impose his form of parenting on everyone else. How i raise my children is my choice and i don't need someone with an unhealthy sexual obsession doing it for me
I think most of generally define our sexuality by which gender we find attractive.Defining your Gender by which games you play can lead to some strange accusations of paraphilia
We fight fire with fire , then what will most likely occur is that the definition of spam will broaden. Ok first comes chain e-mails , Fair enough . They are annoying. Then what , well newsletters people signed up for , perhaps they didn't know how to unsubscribe or maybe there is an error in the code. Then perhaps Notifications by your E-mail provider or ISP for which you can cease to get,. The problem with vigilantism is never the first thing that is achieved by it , its the escalation. Enforcement of Good without boundaries will lead to problems.
My definition of good and your definition of good are probably fairly similar , but there may be a few subtle differences. For example person A may enjoy nudity , whilst Person B finds it immoral. Person B goes on a vigilante quest to destroy the sick and evil porn industry. Person A will not like this. and etc.
I don't find it particularly something I'm that interested in , Sure i wont complain about some women appearing naked;) . Though if someone wants to wander around naked then fair play to them. Society has come up with this concept of naked shame and we have all pretty much taken it on board to one extent or another.
After all its just a naked body , we all have one and They all look fairly similar. Nothing disgusting about them really.I wouldn't go around naked for 2 reasons 1:) most importantly , It can be very cold and there is some jagged ground around , falling over could really hurt. 2:) got that societal indoctrination thing in my head making me think i should be embarrassed about it.
No , just trying to make a point , it was supposed to read "My parent " , a couple of bottles of Chianti will make you do that to you.I will claim that i am a 70s action star and have started referring to myself in the third person as he is just that cool.

A lot of people agree .

I believe Fedora core users are the Fedoration , well if they aren't they should be !

It's called Vista because its far away and the closer it gets the less it looks like it did in the beginning

.I wouldn't go around naked for 2 reasons .

1:) most importantly , It can be very cold and there is some jagged ground around , falling over could really hurt.
2:) got that societal indoctrination thing in my head making me think i should be embarrassed about it
I think you may be looking at the wrong gender naked , try the other Gender to the one you normally look at nude , you may enjoy it more . ;)
Bill Clinton being an Arse does not make G.W.Bush any less of an arse.
