Milyardo_: Good Mornning #phoronix
Deanjo: Mornin all
michaellarabel: Anyone here running 1024 x 768 resolution on main system or lower?
Ivanovic: no
Deanjo: thinks he has a HTPC that is running @1024
GNU\colossus: i got a laptop with that resolution
michaellarabel: Deanjo: But you don't do much web browsing on your HTPC now, do you?
Deanjo: Nope, not at all
michaellarabel: Good :)
Deanjo: Strictly use for porn :P
Deanjo: Too many plastic surgery scars show up in HD
GNU\colossus: michaellarabel: why do you ask?
michaellarabel: GNU\colossus: Looks like I need to increase the site width by 40px
GNU\colossus: what for, if I may ask?
GNU\colossus: more ads? ;)
michaellarabel: Not more ads, no. Actually, I think it will be less... IDG is taking control of the advertising on Phoronix.
GNU\colossus: well I'm premium anyway... won't notice much I guess
michaellarabel: Right, you won't notice.
Deanjo: michaellarabel, is possible for you to move the "User CP Phoronix.com New Posts Search Quick Links Log Out" menubar to below the add so we don't have to fight with flashes cruddy wmode?
Deanjo: In the forums that is
michaellarabel: Deanjo: Or just not have Flash ads there :P
michaellarabel: If IDG continues to push Flash ads there, I can probably move it.
Deanjo: Well, you could do that, just don't want you to miss out on any advertising income
Deanjo: Sometimes reading the xorg mailing list can be like listening to a couple of second graders argue
Milyardo: michaellarabel: Did you know the google ads on you page started overlapping aticle text?

Deanjo: lol, WTF?!? When was the last time Packard actually looked at the linux kernel? "For the same reason the kernel avoids shipping multiple drivers for the
Deanjo: same hardware -- we want a unique PCI-ID -> driver mapping so that all
Deanjo: X.org downstream users share the same code base for their hardware.
Deanjo: "
Milyardo: lol
Milyardo: By Linux kernel they mean the crappy parts Linux "stole" from HP-UX
Deanjo: Jesus Christ there is more redundant shit in there then Xorg could ever dream of
Deanjo: FFS, OSS is STILL in the bloody kernel
Milyardo: lol
Milyardo: well nighty night
Deanjo: night man
