3D Labs Proposes OpenGL 2.0 To Kick DirectX

Posted by Hemos on from the rolling-out dept.

furiousgreencloud writes "3Dlabs is trying to drive the graphics interface away from hardware specific extentions, as seen in DirectX. Instead, they are proposing an open (no NDA) dialog on OpenGL 2.0. The guidelines mention good-ol-fashioned platform independence (linux included) and emphasis on programmability, time control and memory managemenmt. They've got a PDF availible for consumption."

    suck whatever dick you want, but don't be asking for federal funds for your aids treatment because you chose to suck an aids infested faggots dick.

    you have the freedom to suck dick and take as many dicks up your ass as you want. you also have the freedom to die from aids without wasting any of my taxpayer dollars.

    also, don't be asking any of our state legislatures to recognize your perverted lifestyles as any kind of 'marriage'.

    i've got a benefit program for you:

    I swear before lmighty God that I hope we kill tens of thousands of those raghead bastards. I only pray that napalm and air-fuel bombs are used so that they burn alive. If there is some collateral damage, so be it. I say kill them all and let God sort it out.
