I have OpenBSD running on a dual ppro 200 mhz with 96 gb ram and a quantum fireball(!) drive. The drive actually impresses me most as it's 20 years old.

The system is running sshd and irssi, and I've even compiled the kernel and some userland updates a few times. There might be some compile errors if you disable things like ACPI, however it is easy to fix with a few variable guards in the kernel.

Not tried X yet though, but I could see if it could drive my pci matrox mga g550 card.

This is purely anecdotal, however I usually play games in Linux, but several months in the row I get the survey just as I reboot into windows to play some windows only game.

It would be much better if it reported OS as "hours played", not just the OS that happens to run when the survey hits.

OT: Does people in the US actually use checks still? I haven't seen one since the late 80s here in northern Europe.

I guess the privacy laws are much more lax in Canada.
Here in Norway you can't even say publicly who is a customer.

Darktable and Kdenlive.
I use both quite a lot and there are no builds of them for windows.

I'm actually using it every day both for family (I got them all there) and special interests of mine.

99% of the stuff is privately shared though so I guess it looks dead from the outside (and non searchable).

Not sure how, at least for arch linux, pacman -S nvidia nvidia-libgl is a pain in the ass.
I suspect it's about as simple as this for most other distributions.

This is actually the main reason for me buying nvidia cards, they "just work" in linux and provide stellar performance.

My Miele combo washing machine from our apartment days just broke down.
Good thing we have 5 years off warranty mandated by law in Norway.
They tried to fix it twice, now they have to replace it and they are actually replacing it (on our request) with a separate washer and a dryer.

But 4 years is a far cry from the "20 years of operation" promised in the commercial.

The Source engine is using OpenGL on Linux and has absolutely nothing to do with DirectX

I agree with this sentiment.

I will also add that the select widget of gtk and the file selection "widget" are the biggest turnoff of any software I have ever used.

That said, whenever friends or family want me to install linux, they get gnome 3.
Less things to screw up.

It's not how it's supposed to be for those who want to organise by directories.
You know, people are different.

That's the Apple way.

User asked for a feature then get flamed for wanting the feature. Nobody should want features not in Apple software..
Until Apple puts in the feature, then it's the greatest since sliced bread.

My boss (who looks not too different from me) can unlock my phone with his face.

Using it for banking seems insane

i7 4770K, 16 gb ram, gtx 670, 3x ssd, 3x spinning rust platters, DVD-RW drive, 24" dell screen (very old model but excellent).
It's for games and programming.
2 of the ssds are for windows only games and the last is for arch linux where i spend most of the time.
The rust platters are hardly in use anymore as most of my stuff is on a synology box.

I have to say, I never hard of these sites either.
Thank The Publishers Association for the tip :)

Nah I'll still buy my stuff.. But I wonder how something like this can progress as far as to court without someone telling the execs how futile it is to block websites.
