if you are a power user, all you need to do is to acquire alternative drivers instead of Ati's. a power user would be able to use them without any issues. not only that, s/he would be able to use the cards every bit and byte on every single chip and feature.
its your fucking fault for jumping on a newly released o/s from the first months. and on a notebook to boot. such a setup would even cause your mother-in-law to malfunction, leave aside graphics cards.
and im hacking crysis to max graphics settings, overclocking the card, and still getting 15 fps from it in 1920x1200, in playable fashion. i even played age of conan with this thing in full setting, despite the fact that it is a game that doesnt even work well with the 8800 cards it was designed for.
excuse me, but if you people are still having problems with ati cards, its your fucking fault.
you need to buy quality pieces for all the parts in your computer. mobo, cpu, ram, even the dvd reader has to be reliable brands, so that they wont cause any untrackable incompatibilities with some chip in some other part and cause absurd results in any application.
if you take care while buying parts, instead of going postal with some 'brand' offering you a 'great deal' and then trying to insert a top notch graphics card on top of shitty components, you will never have problems with good cards.
i have been going on ATI since 6 years, and never looked back. if you have been fucked up in the ass, change your brand/provider. actually you will always get screwed if you choose the wrong brand/provider.
always go with sapphire or asus for ATI cards. sapphire is the best, Asus is also as reliable.
spain is actually one of the leading countries in internet adaptation. they are experimenting with sending govt. employees home to make them work by telecommuting. add to that the fact that numerous governmental services in eu countries are being translated into internet medium so that you wont have to get out of your home/office to conduct your business with the government, this right to broadband decision only comes as the natural conclusion.
as our world increasingly becomes digitized, 'the right to internet' will be naturally added to the bill of rights of man. no other outcome can be expected.
it is too appalling that some private interest groups and companies in united states STILL are trying to work against this global digital age to assert their self-interests, with acta and similar other shit. however, they can only oppress us citizens. there is a huge bulwark of Eu standing in front of them in europe, japan wouldnt submit to them, china doesnt give a crap about what they try to assert.
this leads to an ultimate conclusion ; people of united states have to fight for their internet rights.
they cant define their place and use in modern business structure, they cant tell you exactly how reliable are their methods, there arent even any widely accepted and practiced accurate methods to use in that field.
instead, they invent various stuff to justify themselves, apart from the salary handling job they do. one of these is the hirings. because this 'department' lacks valid tools, the foremost thing they rely on is the 'education' history. they determine 'requirements' to be eligible. degree from this, degree from that, this much experience, that much shit. in the end they end up refusing usable employees, and stacking up on 'career' people, who take their own careers and their own personal standing more important than anything else.
a friend of mine here, a software engineer himself, had just completed the year 2000 transition for the systems of 2nd biggest insurance company, and then set out to look for another job. he applied to the nation's largest insurance company. the company's it manager went berserk - he was exactly what they were needing ; there was only a month till year 2000, much work to be done, and the person who he was interviewing (my friend) was the person who did exactly what he needed just a few days ago.
BUT.
the insurance company belonged to a big bank. and, the human resources department they were using was the bank's. (it was central to all subsidiaries). so, as a formality, he had to send him to the hr of the bank.
but thats not all there's to it. that bank im speaking about is the largest, biggest bank in my country. and its insurance arm is the biggest insurance arm, insuring a lot of business fields and individuals.
if a single glitch happened in the insurance company's systems, due to the work not being done in time, due to the self justification needs of the MORONS in that bank's hr department, it would be a major crisis in the country, causing god knows how much damage. leave aside the public image of the insurer and the bank.
in another similar example, just look at microsoft. they value degrees, titles, credentials there. that's part of their company culture.
and look at how this works for them. look at the innumerable, half assed done stuff in their products, as if the programmers just wanted to do the bare minimum to get through the tasks, and get their salary and promotions. and look how this is working for a lot of our friends, relatives and our business circle, where their products are used.
that should be a good example of a monolithic, dinosaur minded, old corporate culture hampering everyone including themselves.
when he comes and talks about how 'good' is the american system and it is the 'best' country to live in.

just look at microsoft. just look at how their products become outdated even before getting into the market.
there are still a lot of people who work in deep vestiges of corporate structure where this kind of old development shit is still taken as a reality of life apparently. you build code like you build a bridge, taking years and years of time and rigid structures built on other rigid components. and you are still getting paid.
the reality is, the place you are currently at is little different from an island stuck in time. it will change. reality will catch up.
the only thing that has me thinking here is your shitty america mindset. in which you people just resigned to your fate with the SHITTY escape of 'everything is evil'.
hey. let me break some news : NOT EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD IS AS EQUALLY EVIL AS THE INSTITUTIONS IN UNITED STATES.
the shit named ACTA, the draconian 'end internet freedom' 'treaty' that GOP senate has prepared is being already forced onto countries america has business relations with. basically its american law being forced unto signatory countries, even without the consent of their respective parliaments, or national law.
what can possibly be better than setting up your own shop and poisoning the only serious open source software competitor to your business with proprietary code, right at a time like this...
so you expect us to install your operating system in computers in corporate environments, government offices, whereas you contracted stuff out to third parties.
and screw the positive reputation you garnered by selling non-drm laden cds in the last decade despite you are a member of the mafiaa, by going the way other riaa cunts went. and observe how the attitude and behavior against you change on the net. and how will this affect 'other things' as well.
But I'm an Internet developer -- I want it controlled too. I'm not interested in having those freedoms of which you speak. I want my corporation to have the freedoms that it deservers. and currently, I'm getting that. I'll get more soon.
and it doesnt matter whether you are american or not. you are thinking like an american
you dont want 'those' freedoms. you think that when a something like up, it remains to be about 'other people's' freedoms.
control is not a limited machine. once something is controllable, it works to any extent.
you can get fired by your corporation tomorrow despite being right, get disgraced and discredited, and may not have the right to clean your reputation, or expose any wrongdoing that is done to you by your so beloved corporation. you may be owning your own corporation, and you may get wronged by a more powerful one, cramped to pieces under their postal.
thats the way control mechanisms work. they never work for small people. they never work for people who are placed in medium levels in society. they dont even work for people who are placed higher up in the society.
they only work for people on the very top. and thats no more than a few thousand in our modern times.
therefore, just because you think like any other normal german back in 1930s -> nazis are out to get jews. nothing will happen to you. its about 'other' people's freedoms.

enjoy your own private hell.
the most annoying thing about new graphics cards generally happens to be the fan sound to cool them off.
it doesnt matter how many pixels/sec it gives to me, or how good it renders, if it creates a huge noise while im playing my game.

this is what happens instead.

and never talk in public again. ill give him another $1 M if he promises to never talk again.
the only thing that has me thinking here is your shitty america mindset. in which you people just resigned to your fate with the SHITTY escape of 'everything is evil'.
hey. let me break some news : NOT EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD IS AS EQUALLY EVIL AS THE INSTITUTIONS IN UNITED STATES.
and on what grounds ?
because it contained key truth in it ?
because there arent 'lobby' coprorations whose job is to BRIBE lawmakers to do their leashholders' bidding in usa ?
because, whereas foul play by corporations is AWARDED in usa under the excuse of 'liberalism', eu actually FINES them in europe ?
next time you mod something, mod with your brain. not with your ass.
the biggest enemy of mankind is corporatism. they took the place of aristocracy. now they are more harmful than dukes and counts and their fiefdoms.
the shit named ACTA, the draconian 'end internet freedom' 'treaty' that GOP senate has prepared is being already forced onto countries america has business relations with. basically its american law being forced unto signatory countries, even without the consent of their respective parliaments, or national law.

just exemplary.
shove his content up his ass. world is full of content. i wont lose anything by not using his sites. audieu.
ffs. dont let birds or caterpillars stop you next time. geez.
and screw the positive reputation you garnered by selling non-drm laden cds in the last decade despite you are a member of the mafiaa, by going the way other riaa cunts went. and observe how the attitude and behavior against you change on the net. and how will this affect 'other things' as well.
and convicted intel. what took america so long ?
whereas they allow you to utilize 50% of your bandwidth at all times ?
