Intel, AMD, graphics card drivers, open-source
« on: August 09, 2006, 08:48:48 pm »
AMD considers open-sourcing a few functions in ATi graphics card drivers, and Intel does open-source their graphics card drivers..

Fucking hooray. Maybe ATi graphics card drivers will be useful for once! >:D

And if they start becomnig useful, Intel may have a run for its money. :P

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

This is excellent.  Once one big company does it, the rest will probably be compelled to follow.
