Shameless Request for Assistance

[PrivateVoid]

I was hoping to attract my fellow Ubuntu users to go and rate an article I wrote for firingsquad.com

The The Article (http://www.firingsquad.com/matrix/blog.asp/12941/409/NVIDIA_8800GTX_EXPOSED_AND_EXPLOITED) is about GPGPU and its potential for gaming.

I appreciate any support you can lend me -- thanks.

Have to give those a try... is Wine free?

[compiledkernel]

sudo apt-get install wine

Refer here for docs on how to use wine.

News section? Man I got to find another place around here.

As an aside guys -- I am really liking this community so far... great people to discuss both flighty and weighty things with and no one has gotten beligerant.

That's really cool.

Lighten up, it's a honor to get on our frontpage :lolflag:

I am honored; very.

I am having an issue with registering on your site though -- it is rejecting my email which is a name@rochester.rr.com address.

[Artificial Intelligence]

Try with a gmail adresse.
It's our security mechanism that rejected it somehow.

[PrivateVoid]

I will give that a try in the next few days...

[PrivateVoid]

Thanks again to those who have gone and read the article, and even more appreciation to those who took the time to register and vote for it.

I am clinging to a narrow lead with 28 votes (so close to my target of getting 41 votes) with voting lasting until the end of the day on the 9th.

[PrivateVoid]

Thanks to those of you who voted for me and gave me support. Unfortunately I finished in fifth place despite having the most voters. I was actually in the lead until the winnder got 20 votes in the last four hours.
