So who are these douches that took down the nvnews site?

[johnc]

I do not know how nvnews looks like now. As I said I stopped visiting nvnews. The whole history happened in one day after Linus action and I stopped visiting nvnews few days later.

I think your tiff was something different and eventually got papered over because things were back to normal shortly after that.

This supposed DDoS seemed to follow on the heels of the much-publicized nvidia.com forums breach.

Hello,
I'm trying to access the official Linux support forum linked in http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answe...id/44/kw/linux yet I'm told that it's a private forum.

Is nVidia going to provide a public forum too?

Thank You!

with honey...

About Situational Awareness - 7/19/12 @ 3:15 am - By: MikeC - Source: Me
This country would be much "safer" if our children were taught about situational awareness.
Situational awareness can be applied to numerous events that affect our daily lives.

It's also an excellent tool to weed out spammers that plague the Internet.

President Obama makes sure that his best combat soldiers are experts in situational awareness.

Your local police force are also experts in situational awareness.

Please click the headline to become aware of situations that affect your daily life.

Fuck you nvidia & nvnews.

Get off the bridge troll!!! Go ride a bike or hike a wooded trail, all that pent up anger is good for no one . If you truly care about using a system that isn't "tainted" with blob drivers use GNU/Hurd I hear its all the rage Now that project is going places!!!!

Michael,

Prepare yourself for an influx of mouth breathing trolls in search of a new bridge.

Hello,

We're very sorry for the inconvenience that this is causing. We're currently working on putting up our own UNIX support forums and retrieving the data from the now-disabled NvNews UNIX forums. As you know, we're also currently having forum issues of our own so the timing is a little unfortunate, but we hope to be able to provide a new set of official support forums soon.

In the meantime and until this is resolved, please send your feedback and bug reports to [email protected]. I will update this topic as soon as there is news.

Again, sorry for the inconvenience. We really value your participation and I hope to see you on the new forums as soon as they're up.

Thanks,

Nobody in his right mind wants your piece of shit and broken blob.

Except the 99% of us who do.
