What price Freedom?

| Graphics drivers (for X11 under whatever Free
| Software operating system you care to use) are
| one area where Free Software has plenty of room
| for improvement. My laptop has an nVidia
| GeForce 9600M in it, which means that there are
| two drivers I can use for it: the Free Software
| nv driver, or the proprietary nvidia one.

| Non-idle the machine draws just as much:
| clearly regular end-user activities (writing
| email, writing letters, writing blog entres,
| but no compiling) donât exactly stress the
| machine or draw extra power. Given the numbers,
| I donât understand the perceived difference in
| temperature or comfort of working on the
| machine. But it does help me put a price on
| Freedom: two watts.
