Yes, us professionals require a higher standard of quality. Which is why we use a quality OS at work, and not one designed for playing factory-line first person shooter games.
A hardware switch isn't really necessary. Just make the reflash instruction a 256 bit code that's impossible to come across during normal use. If you're worried about malware it could be made to only accept the instruction when the OS is initialising the card.
If that's still not enough for you, maybe you should start worrying about them bricking your hard disk too...
Yea... like the games that will support it will work in Linux...
You have to congratulate nVidia for finally catching up to Linux though. Nexuiz has had half a dozen 3D rendering options for years, and they work with almost every current type of 3D glasses, no binary slob required.
Intel has gone the huge cache/shitty main connection route while AMD has gone for fast main RAM access and less cache. Coincidentally IBM did the same thing with the Cell - all the SPUs have access to is their own tiny 256KB areas but the CPU can shove data from them to RAM at about 70GB/s so it doesn't matter as much.
Of course the cache/FSB thing is moot now since Intel won't have a FSB soon.
FF3 has caused the strangest problem I've ever seen - it'll run fine for hours, but I can't go near certain sites (addons.mozilla.org is one of them) because there's a 90% probability my system will suddenly hard freeze while it's loading the page. Won't even respond to alt+sysrq.
But the titlebar is using Luxi Sans Bold TTF, so (without bothering to read the previous post that proves what they're using) I'd guess it's Red Hat or SuSE.

In fact now there are several countries building telescopes down south but no one is putting them up in the artic. Wonder why??

Why wait 5 years? Oracle's a niche product already with its price tag; everyone else just uses Postgres.
good thing the rabbi had that rabbit strapped to him to take the impact
Permanent dismemberment!
The standard terms for residential service plans already restrict "running a server".
That's only standard in the third world.

Does anybody make a modern pocket sized TV with a built in digital tuner?
May not be available in the US, but in the UK at least you can get USB DVB-T tuners.
I'm in a similar situation - I couldn't care less about TV but I want a portable digital radio receiver. Nobody sells them.
Pretty good typing for a duck
Some Intel cards don't just not work
with the new OpenSUSE beta, they can get bricked as well.
Get it now?

This reminds me why I have a -6 modifier on new users.
Becauses it's hard to imagine anyone else posting that?
A pony!
Well it can run a TCP/IP stack, so you could just put the usb drive on an ftp share...
The codec is new, give it a few months.
Early DVDs looked like shitty 90% compressed jpegs too, you know.

Does that mean it's a Giant Enemy Cray now?
Did you throw away your S-Video/SCART-connected DVD player when HDTV came out? Smash your VGA monitor up when you first had a DVI card?
Did all your NetBIOS applications suddenly stop working when you went from Windows 3.1 to 95 with its built in TCP/IP stack?
Portable hard drives? With the amount of data this thing outputs? Are you SERIOUS?
Make your dialogue boxes usable on my 800x480 screen.
Speaking of those solar panels, where the hell are they now? I'd spend a _lot_ of money for a laptop that doesn't need AC power.
Why did the upgrade fail, I guess is what an intelligent person would ask.You haven't asked that.
Neither have you, TBH.

...gee, I dunno, maybe because they'll sink?
