  1. Re:Linus management technique works on Kernel Dev Tells Linus Torvalds To Stop Using Abusive Language · · Score: 1

    Nope, that is pretty much fact. See, Linus' 'contribution' was so weak I had to strip out al of the extraneous crap in the kernel (essentially reverting to pre version 1 release) just to get my research facility running smoothly, securely, and stable.

    Now, when one person can take OLD CODE and secure it like that, while newer versions of the kernel simply fuck it all up - Linus isn't providing much incentive to be believed, now is he? His ideas are decades old, and I've already taken the best ideas from MenuetOS and Linux and combined them, to create a secure (with custom IP stack you aren't going to exploit unless you know my programing habits,) environment for professional-level usage and global systems control (most of my vertical farms are able to be remotely monitored and controlled.) Oh, I even added in a kernel-level API for my robots that let me see the facility and do my regular routines without me being physically present.

    Your god is a peon before me. That's why you call me a nobody, you're projecting, Mr. Torvalds with one of the newest slashdot UIDs.

    Dual-GPU is for bleeding-edge people, despite being around since 3Dfx days. Linux won't target that unless it's for super-computer cluster-style stuff, at least for now.

    Although 3Dfx SLI works just fine under Linux and has for years - AMD and nVidia use different implementations, vastly different (as in no rasterops making a GPU render every other line, which effectively forces a vsync to display a frame.)

    I'm still playing Battletoads on my NES, because most games simply don't offer that challenge that I'm used to.

    The gaming industry has dumbed down a LOT. Where we should have had complex games with intuitive interfaces, bean-counters vs creative types, bean-counters always win, unless said bean-counters are also the developers and programmers.

    "i really liked cedega and yes, paid the subscription fee for it."

    That was your problem and the problem in general with the company. When you target a typically free software environment, you'd better offer your stuff for free or eventually someone else will come along and release a free alternative. And while said alternative might not be the best, it's free, and is 'good enough' that it will gain more support.

    Good, that means more incentive to get a functional (and hopefully direct-to-hardware) translation go-between (hopefully loaded directly into the GPU so the calls are all re-routed in hardware instead of a shit-slow software abstraction layer.)

    YMMV to a degree that it's impossible to port to certain platforms, especially those with limited GPU VRAM.

    This is why OGL/OGLES is superior. Either your hardware supports it or doesn't. With D3D, you have to first run it through a software abstraction layer. This is why OGL games (until recently) have always performed better then their D3D counterparts (hell, even the EXPERIMENTAL OGL renderer for UT99 was near-flawless and didn't produce the light-shaking glitch D3D did, at about 50% extra FPS) because you didn't need the additional OS overhead on the CPU.

    So you target STANDARDS. OGL/OGLES is a universal standard, even Apple supports it.

    Want to know how I know you'll never be a boss in any lifetime?

    You're too ignorant to understand that politeness is how to get people to open their ears and listen.

    You're too ignorant to understand that being subtle is a good thing because you can alienate one person in the manner you intended without having to alienate the rest (while still cluing in the rest that you're alienating one person.)

    On top of that, you're constantly sucking Linus' cock. Cocksuckers don't move up any ladder, corporate or otherwise. They stay on the bottom so everyone else on top can get their cock sucked, too.

    Plain and simple, you're not boss/leader material. Ditto Linus. That's why he could never get a job at any of the companies I've worked. He lacks tact, subtlety, and intelligence.

    You're mostly right, and it's because you need higher pressures to control the flow of that which is already under pressure pumping through your pipes.

    Either way, a cavern without a semi-solid fluid in place for support suddenly collapses. This is how fracking works, after you drain the reservoir, the only pressure left is what you're putting into the system. Then you stop adding pressure and start to bleed it off to try to keep the surface intact. Natural forces take over. This is almost the exact same problem Memphis has with their water pumps, with the entire city sitting atop an underground reservoir coming off of the Mississippi river. That's why we're having earthquakes again (well, I'm not there but I get friends reporting them with their own home seismographs planted across their properties.)
