Incredible!

What a farce nVidia is! It must use programmers - a.k.a "engineers" - 
who aren't able to tell the difference between their 'asses' and holes 
in the ground!

Release one driver which compiles perfectly and then release another one 
3 days later[*] which doesn't!

I just tried to compile the latest 331.38 driver with the same result as 
yourself, Patrick.

Pathetic, is the kindest word I could use.

[*] I made a typo in the earlier post: the 319.82 was released on the 
10th January and the 331.38 on the 13th January.
