11327 NVIDIA Linux Display Driver games -1 Why are people complaining? <P>As has already been pointed out if nVidia didn't release Linux drivers people would be bitching about the fact that they don't support Linux. Now they release the drivers and people <B>STILL</B> bitch about the fact they are closed source!</P> <P>The fact that nVidia is prepared to spend time (and money) on building, testing and distributing Linux drivers to the community is, <OL> <LI>A sign that they are taking Linux users seriously</LI> <LI>A good day for Linux 3D gaming</LI> </OL> </P> <P>But they'll STOP doing it if people keep complaining about the lack of source code. You must appreciate that nVidia does have to keep some of its methods undisclosed so that competitors in the market can't get an upperhand.</P> <P>If the drivers work for you and they increased your enjoyment of Linux games and apps, then write to nVidia and thank them.</P> <P>If they <B>don't</B> then write to them anyway and let them know <B>politely</B>.</P> <P>Just for the record, I have a laptop with a pokey little ATI 3D chip in it that isn't supported on Linux. When I get a desktop, I will be getting an nVidia Geforce since they have taken the time to support it.</P> 2003-05-14 03:32:37 0

11329 Eternal Lands games -1 What kind of crap is this? Nice license: "I will try to keep it in English, unlike most of the software out there, who use a veeeeeeery hard to understand legal language :D". <br><br> OK, great, now people can follow him and start making their own, fun licenses and drop GPL. Perhaps my new license is something like this: <br><br> "Hey man, this license rox! NO WARRANTIES! :P This is a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery permmissive license and uses a veeeeeeeery hard to understaaaand legal language :D and it is very open free software (or something like that). You can't get the source code but the program is freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee as in word 'free'!!! LOL, you get what I mean, dude?" <br><br> Seriosly though, do the authors really think their license is legally valid? Hah. I feel sad that some people still do some crap like this, although the game looks fairly good. When will they learn? <br><br> I don't suggest anyone using this game until it gets a free software/ open source license. 2003-05-14 04:40:10 0
