DirectX9 - For More Than Just Gamers?

Posted by Hemos on from the interesting-concepts dept.

Xev writes "HEXUS.net are showing a review of a new product called 3DEdit. This uses the DirectX 9 3D rendering engine; 3D transitions; DirectX 9 Shader-based filters, in order to give you a powerful home DV editing suite. This proves a lot more value to me as a Video editor than a card which just lets me play the latest games. Perhaps there is more use for these cards even at a consumer level?"

    Can Americans not learn the difference between "Then" and "Than".

    Surely the headline meant more than? And I thought this was a place for nerds ...

    'Then' indicates a span of time. Than coupled with more indicates a higher degree of one thing over another. Dumbasses.

    Geezus... A typo is fine in the body of an article, but at least proof your headlines, people.

  5. A text-based medium requires literacy by gobbo · · Score: -1, Redundant

    For crying out loud, can /. use fully literate editors please? I'm really embarassed by this, as I just referred an academic to this site. Pfft.

    Or maybe I'll just loose my elitism, and start speling like everyone else, and call it the slashdot affect.

    How does a crowd of geeks not understand basic grammar?

    Like, doesn't every geek recognize the IF... THEN... ELSE logic?

    I am going to take this opportunity to say to all the people who make mistakes like this: Whenever you hear about illiteracy problems, you are part of the statistics.

    Hemos is meant to be amongst the king of geeks, operating Slashdot and all. Maybe Slashdot should be News For Dumbass Illiterate Nerds instead.

    If you cannot spell very well and/or often cannot use correct grammar then you are just fucking ignorant and you need to recognize this fact. You lack basic knowledge and for it you should have "I am ignorant" stamped on your forehead daily until you at least achieve above average communication abilities.

    It's about time these people went back to third grade to learn basic English.

    I didn't think it was possible to get an uglier, clumsier interface on an NLE than the default Cinelerra GUI. Seems I was wrong.

    DirectX9 - For more than just gamers? Since it's in the games section of slashdot, I guess not.
