Having a native client doesn't make it better, in fact it'd probably be worse because it would be a crappy port of the windows version.
If this mythical port existed then running the windows client via WINE would most likely be better because WINE is very strictly tested where as a developer doing a crappy port wouldn't take as much care. The Linux client would also most likely lag behind the windows version.
If you want to talk about specific issues and ways you think we can do better than the current approach, go ahead.
That's great, get back to me when Greenpeace and the World Wildlife foundation stop lying and want to join in real scientific debate rather then scaremongering.
I used to live in the country side when I was I kid and there were no lights. It used to be pitch black to the point where it felt like walking with my eyes closed.
Perhaps in open areas what you say is true however if you're in a wooded area with overhanging trees then you'd have no chance of seeing in the dark.
They'll use hardware tokens, SSL certs, OTP's, whatever.
uhh, so how is the general public suppose to use this to check their email in Zanzibar?
You try to dress it up however if it's to ever become useful openID needs to and does rely on a usr/pass to become popular which takes us back to the whole eggs in one basket point.
So you basically have no response to this? Do you seriously think that a it's impossible to get a usr/pass via the internet? I can think of a number of ways of getting openID information especially if I happen to be logging in to a public terminal.
It's a big issue and you shug it off like it's no big deal. This is one of the reasons why openID is unpopular, the unwillingness to face the reality of what a one user/password system brings.
To say it is the same thing is a complete stretch. It simply isn't because an attacker would have to data mine the passwords.
Also, (and this is the most important thing) if the attacker changes your email password it doesn't lock you out of every website you have an account on.
The idea is dumb, it does put your eggs all in one basket because once someone has your login credentials they have your whole online identity.
If I found out Richard Stallman's openID usr/pass I could create an account on slashdot and post shit and people would think I am him because I am using his openID identity.
That's what is so damaging about it. Not only does it give a black hat login access to your personal information all over the internet, but it also allows you to create new information under the guise of someone else potentially ruining a person's life.
Not everything on slashdot is tagged "story" dickwad. There is idle and people's journals, hence why stories are tagged story to separate them from other people's crap.
If they are all using windows they will be using binary closed source graphics drivers. Pull your head out of your ass, you are doing nothing for open source, all you're doing is purchasing hardware.
Slashdot Mirror
Then after releasing new version, you should make a software render proving that you lied about it being impossible to back port.
Other operating systems don't need to defrag, this is not a feature.
People also say homoeopathy, acupuncture and magnet therapy "works for them" too. First hand experiences mean jack all.
Why do you care about a native client so much?

If you think this then you don't really understand what NAT is. A workaround for the limitations of IPv4, limitations which don't exist in IPv6.
Why are you arguing this?
I have first hand experience of not being able to see in the dark outside, of not being able to see my hand in front of my face.
It's like trying to argue that water isn't wet, I already know the fact yet you try to tell me what I know isn't true. Stop wasting both our time.

Eh why the do you suggest we pay $304 when the get one give one offer was $200?
It does if you have one usr/pass which locks you out of every website you visit on the internet.
I looked at your website and it has less then 20 users, no wonder it's 100%.

What does this "google" mean? Is that a new word you just made up?
Oh right, it's ok for you to invent new words but not anyone else.
You can't restrict people from having the same ideas as yourself. Your comparison is horribly inaccurate.
This is just dumb and shouldn't be modded up. I'm not going to spend anymore time writing on this, it's just plain paranoid delusional thinking.
Just because Havok costs money don't make the mistake on it being the best.
There are numerous physics engines out there that are much better which are open source.
oh sorry my mistake. I thought you meant games that people actually play... Instead you're talking about mine sweeper and glxgears.
Why don't you do the world a favour and stop lying to everyone to further your open source agenda.
Not everything on slashdot is tagged "story" dickwad. There is idle and people's journals, hence why stories are tagged story to separate them from other people's crap.
It won't if you're trying to play games on wine. Stop lying to people to further your open source agenda.

Well my Nvidia 6800 runs fine, maybe you just have a shitty card because I've never had x-server crash with it.
Yeah great, now both of you run Fallout 3 via wine and see how shitty his card is...
