One cool feature ATI has added to their X1000 family is the ability to make changes to the memory controller's arbitration logic and/or its algorithms via software. This allows ATI to make adjustments with a simple driver update.
This is what ATI has done with their new hotfix driver, they've simply optimized memory access inside their memory controller to better handle OpenGL titles. This is all invisible to the end user: once an OpenGL game such as Quake 4 or DOOM 3 is loaded by the user, the new driver automatically loads up the optimized algorithms for the memory controller's arbitration logic.
Where are the actual facts? BFD.. if I want to install Linux I'll get the box with the best deal - regardless of the pre-installed OS. When the free market demands Linux pre-installed with all the goodies, then the manufacturers will supply it. Until then, for good or for bad, Linux is still in the minority.
The fact is that not *all* companies are going to support Linux. ~Caveat Emptor~
I don't want to read a three part article about a few glitches installing Linux and/or another OS along with some theories about conspiracy. Give me cold hard facts.
Damn it, I'm sick of this weekly news of credit card security breaches. In this case the data wasn't even encrypted.
"Zero liability for customers means that fraudulent charges come out of a bank or store's coffers in the form of higher merchant transaction fees. 'The retailers will pay for it and the issuing banks will get rich off it,' Ms. Litan said. 'It's just another revenue stream.'"
Sorry, I call bullshit. Retailers pass the higher costs onto you and I.
"'We should not have been doing that,' Mr. Perry said. 'That, however, has been remediated.' As for the sensitive data, he added, 'We no longer store it on files.'"
Thats just fine Mr. Perry. Now may I have the credit card numbers, addresses, phone numbers, ss#'s, etc. of you, your family and the execs at Cardsystems Solutions? I *promise* to keep them safe and give them the same care you provided the other customers....
>>if you do it RIGHT, you people who are talking about using the XMLHttpRequest.responseText property, this does NOT include you
I'm willing to learn. Can you elaborate? Suggest a good starting point?
I'm currently using XMLHttpRequest with some XML and text but I'm curious as to how I *shouold* be doing this....

I'll glow in the dark? Great. I'll match the color of my snot when I'm sick.

Lawyer. What's happening? We need to talk about your TPS ATM reports.
Bank: Yeah. The withdralws errr coversheet. I know, I know. I'm uh...working on the ATM errors right now.
Lawyer: Yeah. So if you could just remember to do make sure the customer only withdralws his own money from now on, that'd be great.

Maybe the CDN version will only be ~.850774 as good, aye?
What a great idea!
Just write your passwords on the other side of the card and you've got a complete solution you can use anywhere.
[C'mon, you *know* that your mom or dad would do just that....]

I don't think it is fair to just pick on the Romulans...wait a second...this isn't the STNG forum? What the hell are ROMANIANS anyway?

Short of a static html type browser, nothing will be safe until we all agree upon some standards. Listening Microsoft?
