Let's face it, driver support in Linux is ok for things like word processing, surfing the web, and playing media files. Outrageous frame rates so you get that genuine 'blood in the face' experience? Not happening.
Valve had L4D2 running better under Linux than Windows, and on NVidia hardware too. Decent framerates are not impossible.
Because if you don't have that right, you are not a free man, you are a subject. And as such, your rights and your life can be taken at any time the people who are your masters decide to. This is not theoretical. See Apartheid. See a hundred other things like that and worse.
See Ghandi.
Sorry if I came off as a troll, but I didn't grow up American. I see what you mean, but also don't understand why people can't just gradually move on. Yes, people will be violent, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it takes violence to resolve it.

That battle was lost many decades ago, if it even got fought.
As an Australian English speaker, the second clause just sounds ugly, and I would say "if it was even fought". Both are correct.
From what I've been told silverlight is pretty damned powerful, after all it'd have to be to make an entire OS in a browser. I'd love to see someone try to hack something that impressive together with just JavaScript!
How about an actual, in-wide-use, open source OS? bellard.org/jslinux/
I wonder what would happen if you ran that special codec
Something like http://blog.opensourcenerd.com/i-can-haz-virus , I would imagine. From the link:
A virus run in Wine is akin to taking a ferocious tiger out of the jungle, paralyzing it, then hooking up all of its nerve endings to virtual jungle simulator. It's not a perfect simulation, though, so the jungle maybe doesn't look right, and plus there's an omnipotent power that can change anything that goes on in the simulation, or even destroy it and the tiger's consciousness with a few twitches of his fingers. Now that's power.
Any program which runs right is obsolete.
