Nvidia still dosent get it.. Reminds me of now famous Torvalds quote from video where he send hes regards to Nvidia..

What doesn't it get that the quote from Linus reminds you of? That Linux developers are unprofessional? I think it gets that very well.

Nvidia still doesn't get that removing a feature, from the linux driver, to level it with the one for an inferior product is a big "f_ck you" to their linux costumers.

If that is being professional I think that calling " Linux developers are unprofessional" is praising them.

We have to take all threats seriously [...]

Of course you have to but no, an app is not a threat.

Of course not. I think that what got him in trouble was "... unwisely posted a video of it on YouTube".

The video alone, without the app, could be seen as a threat.

Of course, after some some clarification, things should not have escalated as they did.

I read the link and thought it pretty amusing, both the content and to equate it to what I am asking.

1) I am not saying it is the end of the world, I am just asking what it will cost. It's going to cost billions/trillions- I think I have a right to know.

I think it would not cost you very much. For come corporations it would be very costly, so they fight against the science with their "science" (see the long fight waged by the tobacco industry). For other companies it would bee a boom, unfortunately they are small right now and without the lobbying power.

2) They basically admit that there is no assurance kyoto will work.

Yes. It should be a start into a more sustainable world. If the first step is the only step, it will not be sufficient to finish the travel.

1.) What is the societal cost of cutting energy usage. How much does this cost in comparison to warming. 2.) Explain how using less carbonaceous fuel here will prevent it from being burned there.

Please invent some psychobabble to explain common sense.

You are in stages 5b and 5c on global warming denial: the most common skeptical arguments on global warming

What's the point of the universe if there is nothing to appreciate it?

Now, that's anthropocentric. The Universe managed quite well for aeons before we dropped in and it'll continue to do so long after we're extinct. We're not the raison d'etre (despite many of us being convinced we are).

Sorry, those are the words of dying breed. A new, ferocious breed/civilization/race will replace you and those like you and your words will be forgotten or used as a cautionary tale...

I'm not even saying that it is good or bad, that is how the Universe manages itself.

Sorry, you're falling flat on your face for this one. Here's why:

When I ask the question, "How do change the screen resolution?" Windows: Control Panel

OK! I don't know where to click!

Just give me the directions to do it in:

* Windows XP

* Windows Vista

* Windows 7

* or perhaps Windows 8 (all variants)

I think that "It depends" would be a lot more honest answer.

There is a difference between being a liar and aggressively lying. Its a shame that you don't seem to understand that.

I fear that you did not understand my post. I was saying that when someone says"politicians lie" it is not helpful because it does not take into account the size, frequency and importance of the lies being said.
