Difference between ATI and nVidia video card drivers

I just spent 2 hours upgrading an existing driver pack along with the feature set for an ATI video card.  Now don't get me wrong, I like both card companies equally.  They both have great products.  It is just that when working off of the ATI web site, you have to dig around looking for things, then you have to go get this and that from Microsoft before you can install their updates.

 

NVIDIA is a whole different story.  They usually package everything in one install kit, maybe 2, and it does all of the work to finalize your update much quicker.  Both companies offer great feature sets on the video cards and I think they steal engineers between the two companies, however, it just seems to be a lot easier to find and upgrade the bug fixes and improved code with NVIDIA.

EMail Petitions

The truth about Email Petitions
Please take note

Just a word to the wise. Email petitions are NOT acceptable to Congress or any other municipality. To be acceptable petitions must have a signed signature and full address. Almost all email that ask you to add your name and forward on to others are similar to that mass letter years ago that asked people to send business cards to the little kid in Florida who wants to break the Guinness Book of Records for the most cards. All it was and all this email is to get names and "cookie" tracking info for tele-marketers and spammers to validate active email accounts for their own purposes. Any time you see an email that says forward this on to "10" of your friends, sign this petition, or you'll get good luck or whatever, has either an email tracker program attached that tracks the cookies and emails of those folks you forward to or the host sender is getting a copy each time it gets forwarded and then is able to get lists of "active" emails to use in spam emails or sell to others that do.
