Only a part of the drivers is a binary blob that is linked into the rest 
of the drivers.  The rest is compiled -- as anyone who has ever used the 
vendor's self-extracting archive well knows.

So where does that leave us?

The irony here is that you, flatface, could never hope to approach the 
Linux capabilities of those who actually use the OS.

Your loss -- your humiliation gains a wider audience.

If it isn't already obvious, Linux people do quite well without clueless 
clowns like you polluting the newsgroup(s).  Kindly dry up and blow away, 
troll.
