Your right, but i'm just trying to find a usefull solution for me having to download and shift though a ~500kb discussion leading noware (drawing my conclusion from the past here). I don't think Hell.Surfers is going to accomplish anything here, besides angering a whole bunch of people (am i right?). Sooner or later, some one is going to come up with the idea of --attempting to-- banning him from the mailing list (just like RMS before), and thats again accompilished nothing. And damn it, i'd love to have opensource (or freesoftware, whatever the politicaly correct thing is :) ) nvidia drivers, so i could attempt to fix the Twin view flakinies, have the nvidia drivers use the kernel nvidia fb, and have dual head console, etc. P.S: I hope this isn't a double, since the last email was no go. --Y/K_zturTG=.MvVQ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+E+cJNciXfIswNe8RAkYjAJ9wp9xoH5rHuLWuz1wjLZZaAYb4MwCguJFX sHfEXSl9gY5svt3MLzC7yqA= =ThHT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Y/K_zturTG=.MvVQ-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
