An earlier News Picks shows  Samsung phones suffer from the "death grip" also. And now Nokia, Jul 27 01:19
schestowitzso apparently, it is true. It's not just the iPhone. That would tend to support Jobs' contention that the media is making more of this issue because it's Apple. Considering that a Microsoft executive was gloating the other day about this issue, is it beyond the realm of what is possible to consider that the media is being played by Apple competitors? Or, another thought, what about short sellers? The media coverage does seem a Jul 27 01:19

DaemonFCNvidia at least had it working well enough to start your system and get their driver withJul 27 02:00
DaemonFCI'm betting the only reason the catastrophe of open source video drivers for Nvidia hasn't happened yet is because Nvidia hasn't released anything sufficiently new in a long timeJul 27 02:01
DaemonFCso Nouveau is handling everything OKJul 27 02:01
DaemonFCyou watch, when and if they ever get their next generation GPUs out, people will have to stick in an old GPU just to get Linux up and running to install nvidia in the beginningJul 27 02:02

sebsebsebwell  acstauly the ah started with 9.04, but only one little down stream Ubuntu Gnome feature I didn't like, but yeah more hardware brakes in 9.10 and 10.04 I guessJul 27 02:13
DaemonFCit's not pretty but X will startJul 27 02:13

DaemonFCunless you have an r500 or olderJul 27 02:14
cubezzz3I'm not cubevector at the moment :)Jul 27 02:14
DaemonFCthen it's a decent driverJul 27 02:14
sebsebsebcubezzz3: yeah Mandriva 2010.0  works quite well on here, and 2010.1 offers me little advantage if any really, so keeping 2010.0 on here, and got 2010.1 on the other computerJul 27 02:14
sebsebsebMandriva OneJul 27 02:14

cubezzz3it's great for irc, and old games Jul 27 02:15
DaemonFCyes, there was an unofficial 64-bit Mandriva One floating around somewhereJul 27 02:15
DaemonFCa while backJul 27 02:15
DaemonFCI wonder if that's still out thereJul 27 02:15
DaemonFCit would solve a few of my issuesJul 27 02:16
cubezzz3DaemonFC, probably radeon works better on older systemsJul 27 02:16
DaemonFCyes, that's what I meanJul 27 02:16

sebsebsebright lets tell cubezzz3 this story as well, in pmJul 27 02:16
DaemonFCbut on r800, it barely works at allJul 27 02:16
sebsebsebcubezzz3: Why the two names by the way?Jul 27 02:17

cubezzz3yeah I think you know my thoughts on the subject of KDE :)Jul 27 02:27
sebsebsebdownstream OEM playing around with Gnome?Jul 27 02:28
sebsebsebanyway as someone was basically saying to me last night, Canonical pretends to be upstream at timesJul 27 02:28
sebsebsebI mean they do stuff, that upstream should only be doing if anyone, really, sometimesJul 27 02:29
DaemonFCsebsebseb: Yeah, the Ubuntu Unity desktopJul 27 02:30
DaemonFCwhich oddly enough, works better than regular GNOMEJul 27 02:30
sebsebsebDaemonFC: yeah looks nice from a video I saw and such,   I haven't tried yet, since woudn't work in a vm it seems, and not burnt a CD and booted a computer from thatJul 27 02:30
sebsebsebanyway yeah 10.10 is going to be a right joke for the Desktop versionJul 27 02:31
sebsebseb,but the fan boys and such will love it anywayJul 27 02:31
sebsebsebnetbook version it seems will be much betterJul 27 02:31
DaemonFCthe official 64-bit Firefox builds work wellJul 27 02:31

sebsebsebanyway I just got another nightly downloaded a little while agoJul 27 02:31
sebsebsebmaybe this one will workJul 27 02:31

DaemonFCKDEs weather applets will give me Fahrenheit, millibars, and miles per hourJul 27 02:34

sebsebsebmaybe people from other distros will start hyping up Gnome 3,  basically at the same time, that Canonical want loads of people to think Ubuntu 10.10  and not just the netbook, but the desktop as well, is greatJul 27 02:35
sebsebsebwell thats one way to do competition I suppouseJul 27 02:36

DaemonFCI dunno, part of the reason 3.x wasn't a major shake-up is because it was really just an extension of the 2.0 branchJul 27 21:10
DaemonFCmaybe 5.x will be something like thatJul 27 21:10
DaemonFC4.0 was a pretty invasive rewriteJul 27 21:10

cubevector"On multi-core and multi-socket machines, Solaris will always have the upper hand. Sun has put tons of effort into their LWP threading model. (M:N I believe) Since Sun through the 90’s was mainly a high performance hardware provider in addition to a UNIX vendor, their commercial compilers which are now free to use are more optimized, especially on Opteron and SPARC processors."Jul 27 21:15
DaemonFCCatalyst 10.6 didn't like GTK+ apps muchJul 27 21:15
DaemonFCeven when they were running within GNOMEJul 27 21:15
DaemonFC10.7 seems to be a little better about thatJul 27 21:15
DaemonFCevery one in a while with Catalyst 10.6, you'd have a GTK+ app go black if you have any kind of compositing enabledJul 27 21:18

DaemonFCit happened just enough to piss you offJul 27 21:18
DaemonFCI haven't seen Catalyst 10.7 do that yetJul 27 21:18

Ziomatrixschestowitz: I was reffering to Bryan Cantrill's article on leaving Sun Microsystems. They seemed to have such an amazing business model, its too bad more clients didn't appretiate.
