OK. I will concede your point regarding the GPL patent clause. I am not aware of all the relevant intricacies of copyright laws. I still think the scenario is far fetched, but it is possible that someone could try it.
You should be more careful in future, however, when pointing out grammar issues in other member's posts. Accusing someone of poor grammar whilst starting a sentence with a conjunction is somewhat hypocritical. It was quite obvious that my post was written informally, and I don't see what was unclear about it that would justify your going off topic to point it out.
how have red hat violated the gpl?? i must have missed something...
unless they have been shown to have violated it, someone who has released gpl code can't sue anyone for using it under the terms of the gpl license... i don't think that needs to be said. if they did they wouldn't be very successful at discrediting anything other than their own rationality...
regarding the 'upgrade': the 'consumer' versions of the cards (geforce as opposed to quadros etc) often have capabilities of the 'pro' cards that have been disabled and can be re-enabled via hacked drivers
secondly (and more relevant to what you are talking about): there is NO DIFFERENCE in 2D performance, colour depth, calibration etc between the two cards. the quadro cards are 'better' in their *3D* performance in CAD programs etc. they will make NO DIFFERENCE to your photoshop editing AT ALL.
beryl was actually the renaming of what was originally the 'compiz-quinn' fork. the fork originated as a set of patches etc that quinn and others had made that were not being accepted in the mainline release of compiz. most notably were some of the animation plugins and the emerald window decorator. the other main thing that beryl did was to add a number of workarounds (many of which the compiz authors thought of as nasty and hacky) that enabled beryl to work on more hardware, at the expense of clean and stable code (of course, it wasn't deliberately 'unclean'). for a long time beryl worked on cards that i couldn't get compiz working on (but now compiz works fine). eventually many authors of beryl plugins moved to the cleaner compiz base and beryl lost popularity. i never liked the name beryl, but i hope quinn and co are still working on interesting software. a lot of the negative feelings on both sides of the fork were pretty much unwarranted.
first, 'upgrade' was referring to using drivers that reenable the disabled features of the pro card's drivers.
secondly, unless your photography somehow involves high end opengl 3d acceleration needs, then i think you have been misled about what the 'pro' card gives you (hint, it has nothing to do with it's photo reproduction abilities)
well i knew internet explorer was bloated, but i didn't realise that it was so overfilled with crap that an entire operating system got leaked with it!
this only makes sense if you assume that he wouldn't have bought another unit (then or now) if he never bought the zune. taking your figure of a '$450' loss, if he didn't buy the zune, i would bet on the fact that at some point, including just now, he would have bought a player of some sort anyway. if he decided to spend $400 on a player then, as you assume he would now, then his loss is $450 (what he paid this way) - $400 (what he would have paid otherwise) = $50.
i think he more meant 'not skinny as a rake like the ice addicts i like to watch in my porn'
for fuck's sake. to say natalie portman is in *any* way overweight is fucking ridiculous. concerned about our own body image and projecting our insecurities on others are we??
i have a similar issue. it usually works on mine (first gen intel macbook pro) and i am in fact using it now, but often it won't connect properly and i get the syslog fill with 'calibration' errors. hopefully this will help with that:)
actually, i think it would be great if they cooperated and somehow did a one-off cluster of at least a few of them, just to see how fast they could go. maybe run seti type things on half of the top 10 and see how much it processes in a certain period of time. could be good publicity for all who cooperate, with essentially a 'combined world record' for the fastest cluster on the planet:)
nonsense. there is no such thing as binary packages for gentoo... it's a myth and you know it. i'll have you stop perpetuating those lies right away if you please.
as an example on the other end of the spectrum, 'du -sh/lib/modules/2.6.26-rt3' gives me...

no wonder the bloody thing took so long to compile. i'm not sure what i turned on that has made it so huge, i started from the ubuntu hardy kernel config and basically just added certain audio components to it. oh well, mine's bigger than yours:P
not in the audio world it isn't... try finding a multichannel professional usb sound card...
there are many differences between firewire and usb that make firewire far better for audio work (and video too, but that isn't my area) and it isn't just better speed (although that helps).
i think you can change this yourself with setuid - it will make the program run as root (or any other user). the other alternative is to change the sudoers file to allow access to this program without asking for a password. i did this years ago for my sister when i set up an old version of ubuntu so that it didn't give her scary warnings when she tried to use the modem dialer (i think that was what it was, it was a while ago).
i know both of these require nasty command line and config file editing, but maybe in the future someone will design a nice gui for it.

so... you see the future as microsoft bob version 2?
hmm.... :D

possibly, but on another note you could do it with kirk's dialog and no. one. would. notice... :P

looks like we have stumbled upon the anti-twitter.... oh, and look up the word monopoly... i don't think it means what you think it means.

they should build cones instead. much cooler...

rip out all but 3 gb of ram and rerun the benchmarks and it might give a different result.

i'd like to know the main differences here too. i'd never heard of bazaar, but then ubuntu/launchpad started using it and now it's everywhere.

yeah, my main 'hifi' is based on a studio monitor setup as well. i would never go back :)
