AMD buy ATI : what does this means for nVidia

From past few years nVidia and AMD are very good partners, even there is roumer on the net that nVidia might buy AMD.
I think this is not the right move by AMD because of this AMD might get away from nVidia (and closer to Intel) which is definately is not good. Also nVidia is a better platform provider for AMD than ATI. This time AMD has to make sure Nvidia might get away from them and AMD has to give more information to Nvidia than before.

After this Nvidia will give equal priority both AMD and Intel and they also have to look for other option for innovation. There is one more option for Nvidia, which not in current scenario is to "build processor based on power architecture of IBM." Power architecture is used my Apple, now Apple has witched to Intel, IBM might be looking for partner to sell Power based processors. IBM is promoting Power architecture as open source processor architecture through power.org. Nvidia has two options while using power architecture, first is use processor as its and second is to modify it according to their requirement. I believe Nvidia must achoose first option. Which also help them to maintain compatibility with other power derivatives.

opensuse repair is awesome

I installed OpenSuse 11.1 on my machine. I have done kde4/kde3/gnome installation. It takes about 40-45 minutes. After instaltion I installed Nvidia driver, nvidia driver has installed new kernel (containing trace in name). When I changed boot order to make trace default kernel, grub is installed on root partition than MBR, so my system become unbootable. I got only 2 days of holidays. I come to know abt this problem after I returned to my work city (Indore) from Home (Khandwa). So I could not fix the problem. So I have to fix it via phone. My brother booted the system with Opensuse 11.1 dvd. My brother is not very technical person but he is advace-level PC user. We have never used recover/rescue installed system option. We selected automated recovery mode. It first checks all partitions and packages, all of them found is good state, setup found error boot loader configuration, we loaded boot loader configuration from disk and found that grub is installed on root partition instead of M...

Adding additional class to a button in drupal

Recently we were building a multi-domain site, we are using same theme for all sites but we want to have different colors for buttons for each domain. We achieved this using my overriding theme_button in template.php of theme, here is the snippet. /** * Overwrite theme_button() * @file template.php */ function mytheme_button($variables) { $element = $variables['element']; // Add some extra conditions to make sure we're only adding // the classto the right submit button Now add our custom class if (isset($element['#attributes'])) { $element['#attributes']['class'] [] = 'button'; $domain = domain_get_domain(); $element['#attributes']['class'] [] = $domain['machine_name']; } $variables['element'] = $element; return theme_button($variables); }

Ideas - Better interface for yast services module

Here I'm posting an Idea to improve the interface to services module of Yast. Yast is the control panel like application in OpenSuse Linux. Yast is superb piece of software, I would say it is one of the best control panel among all OS available. The current services configuration module is not very user friendly, even simple mode is very confusion for the first time users. Other distributions have much better interface. We can borrow few things from other distros. Ubuntu services manager (USM) - The interface is too simple, does not show service running status. System-config-service (SCS) - The interface is user friendly, separate tabs for background services and on demand service, large area for description and status. Windows - Shows service status in list, option for delay start of services. I think we take few things each of theme. We can use USM interface for simple mode and SCS for advanced mode. Yast is a superb control panel application but not cool, now we should mak...
