Multiple issues POV July 2011 orphan February 2009 context November 2007 Up to 99 Romani people Roma from Romania were camped on Ireland s M50 motorway Ireland M50 at a roundabout and a nearby derelict house. Lately they were deported from Ireland, by order of immigration minister Conor Lenihan . Controversy The Roma claimed conditions at the camp were better than at home, to which the Romanian Ambassador went on the record to tell of some selling houses to come to Ireland, and the fact that itr was well publicised that Ireland did not allow free labour access or social welfare access to Romanian and Bulgarian nationals. The ambassador went to claim at least three were guilty of murder and 26 others had criminal convitions. The Roma themselves were not in a position to defend themselves as they were guilty. A claim they could not get work at home, was met with a declaration from the manager of the local shoe factory that he would give work to all that returned, as he cannot get or keep workers. Conditions in his factory were not investigated, as this is rare in a nation with such high unemployment among all sections of society. Pavee Point The Irish Traveller pressure group Pavee Point has been advising the Roma, and are under pressure for urging some members to fight the deportation. The Reaction back home The mayor of the town from where they are from has condemned them, and brought some of the press to show them the town and the Roma Special School that is newly constructed. Irish Press Reaction Predictably, the Irish press has reported on the sensationalist angle, as is common with the press worldwide when it comes to Roma. The Irish Star on Sunday however went to the bother of interviewing Roma in the village where these were from, and some confirmed the mayor s and ambassador s claims.

primarysources date March 2010 Nvidia Optimus is an optimization technology created by Nvidia to save battery life by automatically switching the power of the GPU graphics processing unit GPU off when it is not needed and switching it on when needed again. The technology mainly targets mobile PCs such as notebook s. ref http www.nvidia.com object optimus technology.html ref When the GPU power is off, the Device driver driver redirects graphics commands to the integrated graphics chip e.g. Intel GMA . Currently only Windows 7 is officially supported, however the open source project https github.com Bumblebee Project Bumblebee Bumblebee brings support to Linux. ref http linux hybrid graphics.blogspot.com 2012 01 bumblebee version 30 tumbleweed release.html Bumblebee version 3.0 Tumbleweed release , , January 20, 2012, accessed January 20, 2012. ref Linux support Nvidia has no plans to support Optimus on Linux. ref http www.nvnews.net vbulletin showpost.php?s f9d80101210f81978d482b351e371266&p 2183477&postcount 2 We have no plans to support Optimus on Linux at this time. , , February 10, 2010, accessed November 27, 2010. ref In addition to lack of support for switching between GPU chipsets, the presence of Optimus can actually prevent the use of Nvidia chipset, even if installed GPU drivers support it. ref http www.nvnews.net vbulletin showpost.php?s 804c18be75c445d7539dd3525d49a237&p 2291824&postcount 3 On laptops that don t have that hardware mux you currently cannot use the NVIDIA GPU for display. , , July 23, 2010, accessed November 27, 2010. ref Some older systems contain a hardware switch mux to switch the output between the two video devices, which could be set in the BIOS. Modern systems lack the hardware muxer and output is often hardwired to integrated chipset s display controller. With Optimus, the output frames from the Nvidia card are therefore transferred over the PCIe bus to the integrated chipset s framebuffer, which is then displayed. This transfer is ... more details
