So who are these douches that took down the nvnews site?

[RealNC]

Troll feeding time.

Troll feeding time.

Yeah, but sometimes it's fun.

Notice how he says he could "keep going", but he couldn't even come up with four points (the last one is a repeat of the first one)?

I've already provided some points, but let's keep going:

1. Lack of KMS in the blob.
2. Reinventing components that already exist (GEM, DRI, etc). Thus being hostile to developers.
3. Refusing to provide specifications for nouveau developers. Thus, again, being hostile to developers.

Want me to keep going?

[asdx]

nvnews is still down, hahaha

[*]Lack of KMS in the blob.

The most use Linux gets is either X (desktops and workstations), or being ssh'd into a server. Those few who actively spend time on a local console can use Intel or AMD graphics, or even Nvidia graphics with nouveau, if they want a high-res console.

So the "damage" from the blob not using KMS is... ?

[*]Reinventing components that already exist (GEM, DRI, etc).

Intel "reinvented the wheel" when they created GEM, at a time TTM already existed. And they don't use Gallium. OMG, Intel does "damage" to Linux!!! Those bastards!

Hmm, should I mention that Nvidia had accelerated indirect rendering well before the open drivers had AIGLX? And that they had redirected direct rendering well before open drivers had DRI2? Or that they had in-kernel memory management before either TTM or GEM existed? Nah...

[*]Refusing to provide specifications for nouveau developers.

You already said that. Twice. So this makes three now.

Want me to keep going?

Of course. And be sure the next list will include "they don't provide specs to nouveau devs", cos you haven't mentioned that yet

He probably doesn't even drive because the cars aren't opensource.

He probably doesn't drive because he's not old enough.

[asdx]

*yawn*

the shitty nvnews site is still down.

hahaha

[johnc]

Which is more likely to happen... the nvnews site is restored... or asdx de-douchifies himself? Hmmmmm...

Asdx, your intentions are saint, but your religious icons perform sins on a monthly basis.
