That must be why Linux dominates the top 10 fastest super computers in the planet, because Windows is designed by professionals who clearly know better.

"how many times did you need to list the different ways to draw with OpenGL?" It's not just to 'draw', it's an entire multimedia standards environment. The duplication where ever possible ensures skipping resource wasting. It's the end-to-end-all for graphics that is available on every platform, unlike DirectShit.
Yes it has had it's primetime with Direct3D 10 for a while, but OpenGL is now at version 4.1, kicking ass.
And that DirectCompute; I'm sure a lot of devices will ship with it. Well actually not, pardon the sarcasm.
Lol, OpenGL 4.0 is on feature parity and out there (Google Unigine Heaven Demo). Comparing OpenGL 2.1 with Direct3D (not X) is extremely unfair.
And BTW; OpenGL is an industry standard and can be mixed with all the other thousand Khronos API's to reduce resource wasting at its best.
This Direct3D State Tracker is a hobby project and D3D 10/11 has _nothing_ on OpenGL 4.0; both by means of features and usefulness. OpenGL can be mixed with OpenCL, EGL, OpenGL ES, OpenMAX, WebGL, OpenVG and OpenWF.
Technologically Direct3D 11 is freaking joke compared to OpenGL 4.0... But politics and marketing >.#

Rofl, now that I think about that, they are arguing the same thing in both universes and in one universe coward 1 is wrong and coward 2 is right, in the other coward 2 is wrong and coward 1 is right xD
Yeah yeah yeah yeah. It is just that Linux, even together with GNU, is totaly fucking useless. You'd also need X.org and KDE/Enlightenment/XFCE or whatever and a shitload of other userland tools.
Given that KDE has a larger codebase than the entire GNU collection I would STFU if I were you and just go with "Linux" because when one says that everyone know what's up.
Don't get me wrong: the FSF and GNU is great, but not greater than the Linux kernel. Ever heard of Busybox? Gnu Core is totaly replaceable today with something else, so demanding GNU/ to be in the titel is fucking rude and totaly respectless of other projects. Call it the corruption fase of the free software revolution; *ME ME ME ME ME ME ME*
According to some calculations I have done, based on Intel's roadmap and extending graphs (yes, you may shoot me), one year ago it was about 4-5 years to get the full packages (ambient occlusion and all that) with a single Intel chip.
But looking at more recent data I suggest 3 years before a very expensive desktop computer can render it. Keep in mind: rendering, excluding fluid animations and all that!
Yes! That's it, folks. I am going to download a commercial movie!
I buy most of my stuff legaly in stores, and downloading small amount of movies each month is not even ilegal where I live, but I'm going to download and watch ten good movies from the MPAA just because of these extremely unethical practises. If corporate fsckups want to go to war with humanity, they can get it!
What are the top-10-selling titles made by members of the RIAA that are selling now? Who's with me?

FAIL.
How about thermonuclear war?
You can't brute force a key without knowing the encryption technique in the first place, smartass ;)
China beats IBM, we can no longer say that we're the most technologically advanced country and that's what I want.
Most advanced? Crunching more floating points? Seriously...
What a bunch of two year old politics this is...
We're all living on the same planet, remember? I thought the internet was blurring borders...

I'd go further than that and call it Quantum Logic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_logic
Avarages, avarages, avarages...
I thought about that too, at first, but then when I thought about the frequency... not so much.
I'm recieving even less radiation from reading /. in my mom's basement, you insensitive clod!
Whoah! That's no Death Star!
I have a question; where do dinasaurs come from?
You see, there'a serious flaw in creationism that has to be solved in order for there to be a God.
Everything that is, has to created. So who created God? And who created the creater of God?
But then when one says: "Well stop thinking there; nobody created God; God just is", the how can't the Big Bang just be?
This is one of the primary reasons I do not believe in creationism.
I like LHC's

In one universe you open your eyes and in the other you don't, so there are three universes now. It's like playing God :D
"It's safe to turn of the universe now" -Windows, no wait, Wormhole 2095.
"General Protection Fault?!?! You- You.... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!"
Actually, libs, compilers and a kernel do, but you're code does not ;)

Pretty funny if you imagine that ^^.

PS: this is also ignoiring the new effects that will be introduced and especialy HD gaming. Think about 1024*800 res running at 24-30 fps.
Wolf3D was ray casting, not ray tracing! ;)
Other than that. whooooosh!
