The Leader, His Driver And The Driver'S Wife

''The Leader, His Driver and the Driver's Wife'' is a feature-length documentary film about apartheid in South Africa, particularly Eugčne Terre'Blanche, founder of the AWB. The film is made by Nick Broomfield. Throughout the film, Broomfield attempts to set up an interview with the control-obsessed Terre'Blanche, who stubbornly breaks all of the plans he makes with Nick in order to prove his power. What this actually does is expose Terre'Blanche as someone clinging on to the remains of any influence they may have once had. For the majority of the film where Broomfield is unable to get an interview with the Leader himself, his attention is drawn to the driver and his wife, hence the title. When Broomfield left South Africa after the making of the first film, he received a death threat from The Driver, stating that if Broomfield returned to South Africa he would be killed. The filmmaker plans to make a follow up to the film as his next project.

Driver 2

Driver 2 is the second in the ''Driver'' video game series.

Overview

While critics were not happy with the second release in the series, many fans were. The game features one main and obvious change from the first: The ability to get out of the car, walk around, and hijack almost any of the car you can find. At first it was only released on the PlayStation, but was later ported to Microsoft Windows. It caught on as one of the first 3D games with the ability to get out of the car. The huge hit, Grand Theft Auto 3, came around the same time and blew this out of the water which some say led to the bad reviews.

Missions

The missions are very similar to the first ''Driver''. Many say the ones in this game were easier. Some missions of note: Survalence Tip-Off (Chicago)- The first mission. You must drive to your assistant, undercover agent Tobias Jones. Caine's Compound (Chicago)- After punching Jericho, Tanner tries to escape from Goose Island. Find the Clue (Havana)- The second-hardest (to many) mission. It involves looking for the "Rosanna Soto". Steal the Ambulance (Las Vegas)- After rescuing Jericho, you must intercept an ambulance that has Jericho's driver before the robbery. C4 explosive Deal (Las Vegas) You must get a C4 to blow up Vasquez's supply house. Lenny Gets Caught (Rio de Janeiro) After shooting down Pink Lenny's helicopter, you must chase the helicopter, but many of Vasquez's gang members will attempt to ram you.

Cities

Cities include Chicago and Havana, which are both open for "free rides" right away, and Las Vegas and Rio de Janeiro, which can only be seen once missions are complete for the first two cities. The cities all have secret cars, and Chicago even has its own baseball stadium.

Storyline

Many people who disliked the game said the story was the only upside. It is interesting and complete, with new characters such as Vasquez, and old ones such as Tanner. Each mission features a small clip beforehand,

Driver 2

Driver 2 was NOT released for the PS2. It is a Psx title that never ported over onto the PS2 (no games did this, I think). I still have my copy of Driver 2 for the Ps1. :What I attempted to say, but failed to submit, was that I had also noticed this and was planning to correct it later tonight when I updated the infobox. Anyway I have done that now. Also, to be extremly pedantic, PSX is no longer the correct designation for that console. In future if you see such an error, feel free to make the correction yourself.

Device Driver

A device driver, often called a driver for short, is a computer program that enables another program, typically, an operating system (e.g., Windows, Linux) to interact with a hardware device. A driver is essentially an instruction manual that provides the operating system with the information on how to control and communicate with a particular piece of hardware. Because of the diversity of modern hardware and operating systems, many ways exist in which drivers can be used. Drivers are used for interfacing with:

Printers

Video adapters

Network cards

Sound cards

Local buses of various sorts - in particular, for bus mastering on modern systems

Low-bandwidth I/O buses of various sorts (for pointing devices such as mice, keyboards, USB, etc.)

computer storage device (hard disk, CD-ROM and floppy disk buses (ATA, SATA SCSI)

Implementing support for different file systems

Implementing support for image scanners and digital cameras Common levels of abstraction for device drivers are:

On the hardware side:

* Interfacing directly

* Using some higher-level interface (e.g. Video BIOS)

* Using another lower-level device driver (e.g. file system drivers using disk drivers)

* Simulating work with hardware, while doing something entirely different

On the software side:

* Allowing the operating system direct access to hardware resources

* Implementing only primitives

* Implementing an interface for non-driver software (e.g. TWAIN)

* Implementing a language, sometimes quite high-level, e.g. PostScript Writing a device driver is considered a challenge in most cases, as it requires an in-depth understanding of how a given platform functions, both at the hardware and the software level. In contrast to most types of user-level software running under modern operating systems, which can be stopped without greatly affecting the rest of the system, a bug in a device driver means in

Taxi Driver

''Taxi Driver'' is a 1976 American motion picture drama directed by Martin Scorsese.

Primary cast:

Robert De Niro : Travis Bickle

Jodie Foster : Iris Steensma

Peter Boyle : Wizard

Cybill Shepherd : Betsy

Leonard Harris : Sen. Charles Palantine

Harvey Keitel : 'Sport' Matthew

Albert Brooks : Tom

Plot summary

Travis Bickle (De Niro), an alienated, sexually repressed young man of 26 from the Midwest, has recently been discharged from the Marines. He suffers from insomnia and consequently takes a job as taxi driver in New York City, and volunteers to work the overnight shift "anytime, anywhere". Bickle spends his spare time watching pornography in seedy theaters and driving around aimlessly through the darkest and most repulsive neighborhoods of Manhattan. Bickle is horrified by what he considers the moral decay around him, and when Iris (Foster), a 12½ year-old prostitute, gets in his cab one night to escape her pimp, he becomes obsessed with saving her despite her complete lack of interest in the idea, explaining that she was "stoned" and her pimp, Sport, is actually a kind and caring person. Bickle is also obsessed with Betsy (Shepherd), an aide for a New York State Senator running for the presidency and promising dramatic social change. She agrees to a date with Bickle when he flirts with her and sympathizes with her own apparent loneliness, but he takes her to a pornographic film, and she leaves him, disgusted. Other disturbing scenes include Travis' purchasing of various weaponry (a hunting knife and four handguns) from an energetic "salesman" named Easy Andy, a disturbed businessman in the back of Travis' cab (played by the director himself in a last-minute substitution) explaining to Travis how he wishes to kill his wife, who is playing around with a paramour, and a convenience store scene where Travis entices a thief at the counter to turn around and face him before Travis calmly
