Perhaps they want us to work the bugs out before it becomes available to the
windows folks?

More likely Nvidia is waiting for WHQL certification (Windows Hardware
Quality Labs, for those of you who have never dealt with the great evil
empire). Leaked and beta 61.xx have been out awhile.

I wonder if anybody here can give some feedback concerning an intriguing
issue with the Nvidia drivers.

I've got two boxes with Nvidia cards - an old Riva TNT and a GeForce FX
5200 (or something like that.) In both cases, when I run glxgears with the
Nvidia drivers loaded, glxgears seems to return pitiful numbers - like 50
fps, and my boxes run Athlon CPUs at more than 1 GHz. However, when
running an application that depends on 3D acceleration for its
performance, such acceleration seems to be there. For instance, the
Molecules hack in xscreensaver runs completely smoothly and very fast at
1920x1440 resolution - quite different from what happens when running the
Nvidia drivers distributed with X.

Any suggestions so as to why glxgears does not seem to report the right
thing?

Joseph Busy: working on another
job while within XXX XXXXXX XXXXXX
----------------------------------


Aggregate email from Joseph Busy shows he is very involved in running
a business on the side. At the least, he is directing the efforts of
others who work in his other company via his XXXXXX email.


Among the shots he is calling for:

o Find out where our money is: report XXX

approval, and when they
censored something... Bingo.

Because of the Catch-22 situation, the NSA gave up trying to censor many
books, since it can be used to confirm questions they would otherwise have
refused to answer.


The other books referenced within are also suggested reading.
I have sometimes edited for brevity the excerpts, especially
my newspaper clippings of stories flying by.

If I have any news story specifics wrong or if you have more details,
please email me.

This is a U.S.-centric message, but keep reading even if you are not in the
U.S.; British, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand citizens are also directly
affected.

This message is about ECHELON, which is an unbelievably huge world-wide
spying apparatus, including the domestic phone calls of many countries.

United States citizens' phone calls are being monitored in a dragnet
fashion not even George Orwell could have imagined.

This was all paid for by U.S. taxpayers.

Built in secret. Not debated.

The CALEA legislation is a shameful takes-us-into-the-abyss domestic spy bill.
It is for the FBI to simultaneously monitor HUGE amounts of our phone calls.

And when the judiciary found out about NSA monitoring U.S. citizens'
overseas telephone calls without a warrant: they approved the loss
of our Fourth Amendment rights.

Giving Presidential Directives the same force of law as the Constitution.

Congress has lost it too.
