Dexter's comment was full of stupid trolling. "closed src is the only
way to ensure the chip is fully used"??? What is that supposed to
mean? It's total nonsense, without any rationale behind it, spewed by
people who worship a video card like its some kinda god. Certainly
this cluebie has no understanding of any of the technical or moral
matters involved.
