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."

Only one more for me to see
I need to climb many trees.
All the while it was paid up
You need to get the gate up.
So that our boss the bossman can
Throw his dead hooker onto the LAN.
Please please please please
Oh pretty pretty pretty please
Lightly toast me some Popped Tarts
So I can not have to have the farts.
Thank you, you've been a great audience.
WHAT?! You didn't like that? Don't mess with me I'm one crazy mofo. I once popped a cop cause he didn't give me my propz in Oak-town.
Your help is requested:
As many of slashdot's regular readers know, VA Software - owner of this weblog - are in big financial trouble. With the current volatility in the stock-market and downturn in the US economy, there can be little hope of saving anything from the wreckage of VA Linux. It is highly unlikely that slashdot could be sold to another company - the weblog market is overcrowed and the manifest failure of the moderation/karma system will surely seal its fate.
That is where you - the reader - step in, slashdot's editors will soon be looking for new jobs and they need your help. Please post possible career options in a reply to this post. We wouldn't be able to offer a cruiser as a prize this time but the best suggestions will win a lifetime's supply of toilet paper, courtesy of Larry Augustin's stock options.
A few notes: there are some obvious jobs that slashdot's editors would enjoy - donkey sperm extractor or human toilet - but do bear in mind that, as the opensource movement demonstrates, a hobby you love may not translate into gainful employment. Also don't insult the editors by suggesting jobs they couldn't possibly do; I'm thinking particularly of anything requiring basic english or skills in proper computer languages like C.
