Frankly your full of it.
Anything directx can do OpenGL can do , and on multiple platforms.
directx doesn't even have sound support going for it anymore, microsoft wised up and saw that OpenAL was way better.
The only reason directx is where it is now is because microsoft tossed tons of money at developers years ago to get them to use it.
Now they are in a position where they don't like where its gotten them and want to complain.
I'm proud to be an OpenGL developer that doesn't have to bend over for microsoft.
Look at the upcoming game enemy territory: quake wars.
That game is fully OpenGl and looks great.
Also the upcoming Id Tech 5 is also OpenGL.
Its one of carmacks selling points that the content can be developed on one system and work on all the other platforms without changing a thing in the content !
The photons did it by quantum entanglement and scientists hope it will form the basis of a way of sending encrypted data. I knew it. They are already working on how DRM will be implemented.
Damn you RIAA !
Right now I have 5mbit service and have considered moving to 10mbit.
I am about to start using a Tivo and it has a builtin ethernet port for downloading movies and podcast off the net.
This is a legit use and not p2p, etc of illegal content.
If my isp is now going to start putting caps on the "unlimited" usage I would rather they just come out and say
for 50.00 a month you get 200GB of usage.
I would rather know upfront than have to worry with exceeding my so-called unlimited account.
If they can't provide the bandwidth then they need to get out of the way and let another provider in who can.
