We had a Radeon HD 7850 but couldn't get drivers, so we had to run Windows. I got a gtx 660 card that someone has deigned to write a driver for, and its running on Ubuntu now but I'm gonna try it on Slackware next time I get to California.
If anyone knows about a working Linux driver for the HD 7850 I would like to be hepped to it.

I have been suggesting a switch to Linux for about a decade, but all it took was the new interface to make the sale.
There was a bit of gratuitous vituperation, but worth it.
Thank you, Microsoft.

I had enough of Vista on the ol' lady's P.O.S., and installed Windows 8. I got a lot of grief for that faux pas.
Suddenly, Slackware became a viable option, woot! So she is going to Linux, and since she has cheap instincts, she'll probably never go back. Hahaha. Haha.

I had to switch from Radeon to Invidia cards so that I could get a working, modern driver for the kid to game with,
but, yeah.

I can scarcely choke down crabs and frogs and such, but lobster tails and escargot are the best kind of meat.
Damn shame it's illegal to raise snails here.

I tend to notice the grub poop smell when I'm cooking it.
I air out the house after I bin the stuff.

We really don't bother with labels like "organic", but we did just discard a load of manure because those horses had been given vermicide. We do go all boron on the ants, like teaspoons of the stuff.
I am looking for plans for a solar charcoal kiln, for once google has failed.

As a noob, my previous experience was Win 98 on a Pentium board, and Win 2k on a PIII. After formatting and installing the instant BSOD three times, I just added Me to my collection of AOL drink coasters and moved on with my life. I think starting out with Win 2k was bad as it did not properly inure me to the level of tolerance required for a Microsoft administrator.

After 15 years of integrating computers with Radeon cards, I just switched over to GeForce so I could get working drivers for Linux. I've been running WD ever since IBM quit making HDDs; I have no use for a hybrid drive but do I want to switch vendors as a statement to WD?
Windows 8 was the final straw, far less stress to run a controllable OS.

Your brother-in-law got Windows Me to run 30 minutes before it blue-screened? Amazing.

Proper prophylactic treatment of existential troubles with cannabinoids can generally preclude manifestation of pain or want of opioids, nsaids, or alcohol, with all attendant toxicicity.

I am a natural-born citizen of the People's Republic of California, where our fearless leaders have decided that I can't be trusted with a 20-round magazine for my Thompson Carbine, but as an American citizen, I am specifically deprived of the privilege of a gun that fires from an open bolt, which would be safe and beneficial in a firefight.
I lived in Los Angeles in 1992, so I have a reason for considering these factors. If you refer to the arguments cited above, you'll see that shady elements were already propagandising in the eighteenth century about how we surely could control, if not necessarily trust, our Federal government. (yeah, sure.)
I'm pretty sure I can count on the Federal government to disregard my interests in favor of a broad agenda to usurp the People's authority and violate the supreme law of my country as they've done for the past one and a half centuries.

They didn't really teach history at my school, either. Do some reading.

I think geologically, I wish I could laugh it off like George Carlin, but biospheric annihilation just doesn't amuse me that much.

I get queasy from Tylenol, maybe I don't have that immunity. All the rest of you, don't mix it with alcohol or take it for a hangover. The toxicity is cumulative. If your MD won't prescribe unadulterated opioids, get some oil of bergamot to take with it for the "grapefruit effect". It will metabolize two or three times as much therapeutic chemical and allow the proper relief without excessive toxicity.
I have migraines, and alternate between ergotamine tartrate and hydrocodone so that neither causes problems.
