Codeplay Responds to NVidia's Cg

Da Masta writes "Codeplay Director Andrew Richards has some interesting things to say about NVidia's Cg graphics language. Just to refresh, Codeplay is the company that publishes Vector C, the badassed, high performance C compiler. In brief, it seems as though Cg isn't the universal, standard graphics language some pass it off to be. Certain design considerations in the language, such as the lack of integers, break/continue/goto/case/switch structures, and pointers suggest a general lack of universal usefulness. This leads to suspicion that NVidia plans to add and tailor the language in the future according to its own hardware and their respective features. Of course, this is all old news to those of us who noticed NVidia co-developed the language with the Evil Empire."

    In your infinite incompetence you did not even manage to post your response in the top three positions. To make matters worse (for you), you still claim it to be the first, further demonstrating your woeful lack of ability to successfully complete even the most simple tasks in life. You would be better off growing out a silly little moustache, getting married to the notorious Mr. Goatcx Guy and starting a small business creating and tending to terrariums.

    Your username is quite funny. I mean, cmdr_shithead is funny stuff. The world shithead is easily the funniest in the English language. I mean, think about it. Say it. S-H-I-T-H-E-A-D. Its connotation is obviously humorous, and don't even get me started about its denotation. I mean, a human head made of feces? It does not get funnier than that. Although it reality it would be kind of gross to look at and would likely smell rather bad, theoretically speaking it's hilarious. I do know this for a fact. We proved it over at my college of choices, teh Massachusetts Institute of Technology. You may have heard of it. Anyways, I'd just like to say HAIRY PENCIL goodnight handsome.
