<P><B><I>NVidia</I></B></P>
<P>We don't like nvidia's binary drives, their quality, unstability,
non-existant user support, always appearing new bugs. And most users behave
the same. We've been contacted by NVidia lately, and they said these bugs
don't exist, unstability is caused by bad AGP chips, and they received
no reports of driver bugs (the purple line, for example). So: if you have
problem with your NVidia, update the nvidia driver and/or buy a new
motherboard.</P>
<P><B><I>Joe Barr</I></B></P>
<P>He doesn't reply to our mails. His editor doesn't reply to our mails.
The net is full with his false statements and accusitions (he apparently
doesn't like for example the BSD guys, because of their different viewpoints
[about what?]).</P>
<P>Now some quotes from different people about Joe Barr (just for you
understand why doesn't he matter at all):</P>
<P><I>"You may all remember the LinuxWorld 2000, when he claimed that Linus T said
that 'FreeBSD is just a handful of programmers'. Linus said NOTHING of the
sort. When Joe was called on this, his reaction was to call BSD supporters
assholes and jerks."</I></P>
<P><I>"He's interesting, but not good at avoiding, um... controversy. Joe Barr
used to be one of the regulars on Will Zachmann's Canopus forum on Compuserve,
years ago. He was an OS/2 advocate then (I was an OS/2 fan too).
He used to go over-the-top, flaming people, and I suspect he had some hard
times, then. He's mellowed some, judging by his columns recently. Moderately
subtle humor was not his mode in those earlier days, not at all."</I></P>
