NVidia

+ +

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.

Joe Barr

+ +

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?]).

+ +

Now some quotes from different people about Joe Barr (just for you +understand why doesn't he matter at all):

+ +

"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."

+ +

"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."
