Incense and windchimes... can we patent this?

Tried this with Siri,not only did it find people selling fur-lined leather gloves, it also found photos of models wearing skimpy dresses with gloves on.

I'm sure there's a deeper meaning here.

Absolutely, I've got 2550x1440 monitors using display port, try doing that with HDMI

And I was being a little flippant.

Yes, any binary that you don't have the source to is a potential security hole.

But it's like worrying about people wearing bombs in their shoes, you're focusing on the wrong thing.

Are you kidding? I'm guessing the conversation around the bong was more along the lines of:

".... so dude... we managed to convince our competitors, the pundits and the market that we'd make a stupid fucking watch right?"

*giggles*

"... I know right ... and now Samsung have actually tried to compete with the damn thing .."

*more giggles* *at least one board member falls off his chair*

"... oh man ... I can't wait to retire and write this up... they'll never believe this shit..."

Ah if only I had not already commented on this...

So I'll point out that step 4) should include a cover letter that clearly documents your actions in 1), 2) & 3)

Step 5) would be to document the above and any responses from NVIDIA somewhere in public on the web.

No profit here, but much satisfaction from righteous indignation.

Nvidia has never been a perfect partner to the opensource world, however your tinfoil hat is too tight son, it's clearly cutting off the blood flow to your brain.

That's kind of the point, most of the time the opensource world does not get to make deals with corporations. You take what they dole out and then you thank them for it.

I don't like it, and I'm hoping it doesn't last, but it does seem to be the reality.

In the ideal world our esteemed colleagues at Redmond will continue to screw themselves over and the world will turn slowly to Linux and all the hardware vendors will start playing ball, and there is some indication that has been the gradual trend over the past five years or so, but don't hold your breath and don't expect anyone to play fair.

Whoosh?

That was pretty much the excitement of driving a Pontiac Firefly close to the speed limit. (Downhill with a tailwind...)

Good thing that never happens.

Only if they leave the valve open.

Some authors improve with time and exposure, others are a flash in the pan. Some produce their greatest works young, and other old.

The Tom Clancy I will always remember is "Red Storm Rising" (not a great novel, but a great page turner) , "Red October" and "Patriot Games". Tom Clancy's early books were fantastic page turners, not high art but highly entertaining and quite well thought out. I wish that all of his works were of the same quality, or better.

Now we will never know if there was the potential for greatness that sometimes comes with the "wisdom of elders".

Thank you for the memories Tom, as far as I'm concerned "Red October" still stands as a "best in genre" after 30 years.

That does have it's merits, for example we can prove they exist and unlike many gods they are nice to have in the house and garden.

Darwin is not a BSD kernel, so the kernel changes will never show up, no probably about it.
