schestowitz[TR2]                                <p>My goal here is to see how far I can get using Linux as my main OS without spending a ton of time futzing with it — or even much time researching beforehand. I am not looking for more high-maintenance hobbies at this stage. I want to see if Linux is a wingable alternative to Microsoft’s increasingly annoying OS. </p>Jan 12 09:45
schestowitz[TR2]                                <p> Honestly? So far it’s been fine. Many things I expected to be difficult — like getting my Nvidia graphics card working properly — were perfectly straightforward. A few things I thought would be simple weren’t. And I’ve run into one very funny issue with a gaming mouse that only works in games. But I’ve been able to use my Linux setup for work this week, I played exactly one video gameJan 12 09:45
schestowitz[TR2], and I even printed something from my accursed printer. </p>Jan 12 09:45

schestowitz[TR2] Are you are referring to Jews? In any case, all I am pointing out is, it's not the Indians or Asians who decide what and how much work gets outsourced. The ascent of the non-technical CEO who lacks vision, a board that focuses on quarterly profits and increased competition from China, Taiwan and more recently rising India, Philipines and Vietnam have been root causes for semiconductor outsourcing, fab and design. Notable exceptionJan 12 12:46
schestowitz[TR2]s are founder and engineer lead companies Nvidia and AMD. I am not against non-tech people leading engineering companies, those should be exceptions -- default should be executives with a strong engineering background who have grown through the ranks. I am curious on what IBM's future vision is, after all it was a stellar company at one time and probably is, I just don't know much about what it makes."Jan 12 12:46
