random obscure driver issue on random obscure linux distro #123415 working on random device setup #3121646, unfortunately, doesnt interest the world. as much as i support open source and linux, unfortunately, it doesnt. it is reality, and noone has the right to brand any kind of device or manufacturer failure, just because they werent able to get their rare setup working. and linux graphics, is a rare setup. whether we like it or not, the graphics, multimedia related dominance is with ms osses.
you cannot blame any company for not taking the extra budget to make some minority obscure platform users happy. unfortunately capitalism doesnt work that way. either you make your platform dominant, or, you shut up.
you are in the minority. i have been playing all the games that came out in the last 2 years with ati cards, even using newly released drivers, and i didnt have any kind of problems with anything from crysis to mass effect 2 or obscure random games. and says 'actually offered no working driver on any os but vista'...
you are either shitting us, or a nvidia shill. both are pretty annoying.
me, none of the people in my community, noone i have made buy ati cards had any problem with their drivers. this includes all activities ranging from playing crysis by dx10 hacking it on an xp machine to watching movies.
excuse me, but your 'obscure rare driver problem on an obscure rare operating system' doesnt interest the world. such problems will always be there.
im no fan, however in the last 1.5 years i read a lot of verdict carrying court cases in regard to intel's bribery of computer manufacturers in asia and usa. they get fined here and there for their shit. if getting defeated means 'bribery', then well, give me enough money to bribe, and i will defeat all others with any shitty random brand.
no, and i didnt need to read the article. is it enough ? adults tracked for 14 years. leave aside already being adult when tracking started, even if they were children they would be born in standards of an old age, where their parents werent even warned to cut smoking while pregnant or in waiting, in addition to many other things. being born, and grown up in such a time, means that already many things would be imperfect health wise, compared to now. it doesnt matter zit whether they die earlier or not. i dont think there is any soul who would actually mistake that non sitting people may not die. so, your hasty retort is just as absurd as not reading the article.
and for how long the research was conducted ? what was the sample size ? get a load of that : 'likely to die'. gee. no relevant cause of death, stuff that can happen due to anything ranging from genetic heritage to smoking or traffic accidents.
osc is not a fatality, it is an obligation. just like how windows versions are. and it is due to the universal recognition and support, and the innumerable 'apps' (modules) out there, for free or cheap. same situation. and, ecommerce websites, estores, need that. it is much more important to be able to have an easy to install, cheap or free random tax calculator and exporter module than 'fast efficient clean codebase' and attempt to get it coded.
what you speak of, is inevitable with ANY software that can be extended. with nothing you can escape that eventual fate. it is also the same reason why in-house built, custom made, perfect-tailored systems of big organizations become bloated hulks, and requires dedicated, experienced long time people working on them to maintain, and developing further becomes harder. and they become irreplaceable. just like how a lot of major financial organizations still maintain their as400 systems and their derivatives in 2010.
the nifty fast code you wrote, will eventually become same.
one was yesterday, riaa crap was the day before. i was telling that its not that these copyright, patent, tm systems are 'exploited', its that they ARE exploitative and unworkable. and some people were saying that i was trolling.
every day another bullshit comes up because of these. what point does things have to come to, for some of you people to understand a SYSTEM is wrong, or unworkable ?
not one. i had more than one magento shop hiring me to migrate away to other systems, due to the reasons i mentioned and others. most important reason generally comes up as module abundance and support, however.
if you are thinking as such about magento, stop talking about ecommerce. for, you dont know shit about it. dont take any projects either, for, you soon would find yourself waist deep in shit.
magento has 54,000+ files. it does 2 to 3000 inserts to db per order. yeah, you heard it right. you would need an entry level dedicated server to run a small shop with it. it is also coded intentionally roundabout, so that 3rd party development will be harder, and users will have to go to original developers. the new trend 'obfuscated open source' for you.
it is apparent that you are not actually working in ecommerce web development, or not for enough time. had you been, you wouldnt be uttering such naive bullshit as 'codebase' etc, like a weekend coder or an enthusiast.
in the ecommerce trenches your 'codebase', new trends, new coding concepts matter zit. in production environment what matters are budget, time, function.
oh so it took you no time to write so and so many modules and install them for prestashop then ? grreat. now do it for random obscure shipping provider with no api in southeastern asia region, or do it with random obscure payment provider in midwest america, who provide no documentation for their api. and do it dirt cheap, do it in no time.
you cant. you would be stuck dumb without knowing anything to do. had you called those payment and shipping providers, they wouldnt give a flying fuck about your brand new ecommerce software with its neat codebase and hip trendy programming.
whereas on the other hand, someone facing the same problem in oscommerce would need to do a single google search to get to a free, ready made, ready to install and working module. again, for free. moreover, the random obscure payment provider and shipping providers from different zones of the world, would BOTH not only be recognizing oscommerce, but also supporting it. because, it is known and used that widely.
market, client, budget needs and time considerations define what you can do. not your neat, tidy, hip, trendy codebase. this is the hard fact of life. if you can fit all the clients' needs within budget and write X modules every time someone comes with an uncommon request (and it always is, since there wouldnt be any need for a developer to set up a freely available standard ecommerce shop - web hosts provide single click installs), then more power to you !
definitely not 'guide to setting your ecommerce business'. it is a guide to setting up a presta shop, pimping it. lovely that the summary somehow, moronically, tries to set up a connection in between 'ecommerce' and presta, as if 'ecommerce means presta'. great pimping there.
of course, thats leaving out the fact that 6 months into your presta online eshop ( or any other ecommerce software for that matter ) you will have to migrate to oscommerce because of the paranormally high module base and universal provider support.
EVERYtime some bullshit comes up like this, someone comes up with 'context'. everytime, context context context. its time to realize that its not the 'context' but, it is the system, if it happens THAT much and that often.
every 3 days, another story about total exploitation, travesty of justice through these two. yet there are still who fall in the err of defending these, saying 'they are just misused... a better patent system blah blah blah..'.
there are NO better systems. these two are little different from feudal ownership of means of production. the medieval feudal ownership system is being copied into the thought sphere of human civilization through these. you have to pay bridge toll, every thought bridge you pass, to the bridge lord. if he doesnt let you, you cant pass.
these systems cannot be corrected. they WILL be exploited, nomatter what you do. and the eventual extent of exploitation, will be like this, as you see in front of you by the 'organization' you name as RIAA and those behind it.
in feudal-like systems, whomever gets to the top of the pile, rules all others in a hierarchy. there is no other eventual result of such systems. the only way to get rid of these, is to abolish them.
These are all hip new fields, buzzwords. they may stay, they may come and pass.
what you need for a future in i.t. in 'future', is to know to LEARN. adapt. know to seek and FIND.
learning tools a plenty now. you may not know something, but, if you know how to search and find it, you will see that someone else before you solved the exact problem and posted it on the web. you will be able to implement an elaborate expertise requiring solution even if you are relatively green in that area. because, the recipe is right out there, in the common 'mind' of the society, in internet.
so, the assets for future is knowing how to learn, and knowing how to find.

unfortunately for us, non obscure ubuntu desktop, is still obscure for the global market ...
The name AMD always meant "second rate to Intel" to myself and every one else I know,
unfortunately yes, as intel was bribing computer manufacturers worldwide. they got fined for it in the end in asia, usa, however.

fuck the planet, as much as you can, while you still have time. its not like you will have to pay for it anyway ....... or ....
