Open source drivers suck big time
This is why we have proprietary drivers on open source systems, specifically Nvidia.
The other card in my box is an ATI. ATI's proprietary driver is an absolute joke.

On topic, I have FF4 x86_64 running on Debian Squeeze x86_64.
Very impressive how much faster it is over the iceweasel offering that's packaged with Debian systems

There is an even easier way to do just that
Give two people a bag of candy, one a liberal & the other a conservative
put them both into a room full of children
the liberal will gladly give their candy away to the children & the conservative will take the candy away from the little ones and hoard as much as they can get

I don't know about you, but my 401k is comprised of stock market investments. I know most are. How the hell is Obama trying to steal the stock market? Come on, get real ..

but from what I know, the Tea Party's platform doesn't support bailouts.

The controlling puppet masters of the tea party ARE bankers, and yes, they did indeed take bail out money, it was a fire sale authored by baby bush & co. Two faced double speak is the problem. They, the tea party, rely on most supporters not checking facts and/or researching what and who they are. Most supporters are nothing but dimwitted imbeciles

Your mistake is in thinking that there's some fundamental battle between government and the rich/corporations. Let me clue you in... THEY'RE IN IT TOGETHER AGAINST US.

This is not MY mistake. Our elected scum have been courting their corporate donors for years. What I oppose is any and all private corporate involvement anywhere in our local, state & federal systems. The tea party will be just more of the same, just a new set of faces, SSDD.

I don't have any answers except maybe to just get it over with, unleash all the nukes, wipe out most continents and start over from scratch .. we're all fucked!

Well, I for one have issues with the thought of some banker pilfering my social security retirement.
As we have seen in recent years, corporations cannot self govern. When we deregulate and give them more rope to operate freely, more often than not they hang themselves and the rest of us when we have to bail them out.

Giving the tea party power will put the most wealthy into political power. Scenes like the great economic crash and resulting bailout of 2009 will become business as usual.

We can then have wealthy kings and noblemen, and very poor over taxed peasants without much in between, instead of the democracy that America was intended to be. Now doesn't that sound like fun?

Yay, the tea party will restore scenes from the dark ages of europe, I can't wait.

Actually, OOo already can easily replace M$O for most users. Performance and stability are already there. Features .. OOo has everything most users need. Only a very small percent need scripting capability that only M$O can provide.

I use both. OOo interface has been consistent for years. M$O changes theirs with each update. The most recent M$O is not intuitive at all and quite inconvenient to use, for me when I need to get something done. "Now where the fuck did "print" go?" or "Now where the fuck did 'save page as' go?"
