Thats funny, I had so much frustration with AMD/ATI's Linux driversI pretty much threw an $800 laptop away, and before and since then have never had any problems at all with nVidia's drivers.
It boggles my mind how anyone can believe AMD drivers are better/more stable than nVidia's, especially on Linux.
>> The problem is that this is never done.
The reason is that many Software Director positions are now filled with technically clueless people that are basically salesmen rather than engineers.
They have no comprehension of the concept of technical debt, or the need to spend time on activities that don't directly translate into new features.
The net result is that you're always just piling more crap onto the top of a steaming turd pile so making it worse, instead of working to replace the shit.
Kinda makes you wonder how could it be that the complaint was never answered yet the restaurateur was down $8200 in attorney fees. Especially if the case was so cut-and-dry that the Fairness In Music Licencing act already covered him.
Windows will be around for another 25 years? Oh God please no....
Given there are only 14 variations (One with Jan 1 on each day of the week, and another 7 but for leap years), you could just reuse old ones.
This.
Was exactly my first thought too.
While I appreciate the opportunity to download 11TB of data, it would be a lot nicer if there was a high-level summary somewhere of what the projections are actually indicating are most likely to happen. I've looked but can't find one. Anyone found anything?
>> stating that women are not capable of handling criticism (unless you've got some objective evidence).
you're either
a) female
b) been single all your life
c) found and dated the one woman on the planet who can handle criticism calmly.

Actually I've always been impressed with how well nearly all the Dutch people I've ever met speak English without much of an accent.
ok I can try...
Y'all listen up now coz y'all need to word up yo edjumacation.
>> the US will run out of schmucks who are underpaid as well.
Nope I'm having a hard time imagining that, partly because Mexico is an apparently infinite source of illegals, and also because the whole US economy is really so top-heavy it needs a constant source of underpaid labor it can exploit to even just keep existing.
Why do you think Obama is trying to make it even easier for companies to get even more H1B's so they can bring in even more cheap Indian coders with fake degrees, and for even more Mexicans to illegally cross the border and immediately get a US driving licence?
Yeah thats about as much of a misnomer as "African American".
If you took any Black American that is more than 1 generation off the boat yet still proudly calling themselves African American, and dropped them in the middle of Africa, I can frickin guarantee they would very quickly change to thinking of themselves as 100% American.
Really? wow. Was he joking or sincere? I could imagine that being believed/said (perhaps naively) with a reasonably straight face about towns in what was the Mexican Cession states, ( Cali, Arizona, Utah, Texas, New Mexico, etc) but NY seems a long way too far North East for that to be intended as a serious comment.
Demographics seem to prove him generally wrong too:

They can label you however they want, but it stil doesn't make them right. I think the problem would be helped a lot if the US formally declared a national language.
