I made no points. I explained to people what was being discussed in the video. Why are you responding to me ? I framed the context. You don't agree with the context I framed ?
Did you watch the video ? At all ? Linus is voicing is concerns, not telling nVidia how they should operate. He's describing the problem basically... What nVidia thinks and does is out of bounds and plainly obvious, you're restating what Linus is stating...
Hence why I don't get your point.
Hence why it's Linus (the project lead) that's talking about it ? He's voicing his concern... I don't get what you're even trying to get at here...
Linus isn't talking about gaming, performance or anything else like that. The point is : nVidia ships a binary blob and an obfuscated source portion that needs to be built outside of the vanilla kernel. That is what Linus is talking about, nVidia's lack of cooperation with the kernel people at integrating their drivers into the main line kernel in a way that respects the project's goals and visions.
Why you people are discussing the performance when that is not at issue, I have no idea. It was all pretty clear to me what Linus meant.
Wow, impressive. I have no certifications whatsoever and am employed as Unix systems administrator, have been in this position for 3 and a half years now, did the NOC thing before that, did the SMB (small/medium business) systems integrator/administrator/operator before that, etc.. etc..
Maybe you just aren't looking in the proper places.
Is there anyone here that works for a large business customer of HP and used there software?
(I'm genuinely interested; even though it may sound like a troll that's just because I appear to be ignorant on the subject.)
I do. We use a couple of their different enterpise packages for performance monitoring, centralized printing, backup and of course, clustering and big-iron Unix to run on Integrity boxes.
Oh, our storage too is based off their XP line-up.
the most popular android phones are the cheap ones
Why is the Samsung Galaxy S II the one breaking sales records then ? It's certainly not cheap, being dubbed a "Superphone" by local carriers around here and being as expensive as an iPhone on contract most everywhere.

Wow, did the summary ever get this wrong. The court said that the Samsung supplied Photo Gallery application infringes on an Apple patent related to a swipe gesture to move from picture to picture that bounces back to the current picture if the swipe is not completed.
The default Android Photo Gallery application does not do this, but Samsung customized the version included on its phones with TouchWiz (hence the Nexus S does not infringe and is not part of the ban or the Tab 10.1 that uses stock Android too) to replicate this functionality of iOS.
Also, the solution is not to provide Android 3.0 for the phones, Samsung will simply remove this extra functionality from the application (either by reverting back to the stock Android application or by simply removing it from their customized app) and provide an update for the affected models, thus negating the ban.
Back in 1992, the Internet was a vast worldwide TCP/IP based network. It still is today. You could install a "browser" and use that piece of software to navigate on web sites, using the HTTP protocol. We still pretty much do that today. Domain names were used so that you didn't have to remember numerical addresses, and were stored and queried using the Domain Name System. Like today.
Need I really go on ? Because you didn't know it, doesn't mean it didn't exist.
That's the sound the point of this story made when it flew past your head. Maybe you missed the part about "diagnosing people with no symptoms".
Anyway, we're all sorry for you and we'll all cry ourselves tonight hugging our loved ones thanks to your heartfelt tale, but it has nothing to do with what is being discussed here. Maybe you should submit this to your doctors : Reading Comprehension fail might be another symptom.
