|

|

<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>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>
