Curious Tale of Stolen Content

I was doing my usual rounds on the forums. Usually I look for people to help with their computer problems while I slyly demonstrate my technical prowess over the ignorant users. I found a help topic where I was fairly knowledgeable: video drivers on linux. A user asked for help and some people gave semi-useful comments.
