Considering Notch coded Minecraft in OpenGL 1.1 and has lighting on a cubic basis is manually calculated on every "chunk" update, yeah Capcom could CODE Minecraft better (they won't update it afterwards however).
I'm not dissing Minecraft the game: I own it since the alpha before 10000 sales (it's over 1 million now). It's just really primitively implemented and Notch needs to buy and read a book like OpenGL 2.0 for dummies.
Honestly, if they can change the time back to when someone would have to pay even if it never comes, they probably would backpedal and charge say right now if there's billions of dollars worth of money they are missing out on. I wouldn't put it past anyone simply because of human nature.
Because then you'd have to pay money to use Firefox in 2014 with h264 support, and Firefox would violate the GPL unless you paid. It would also segregate those that paid and those that did not.
Remember the time when you had to pay money to buy a browser? 15ish years ago?
According to the “Summary of AVC/H.264 License Terms,” which you can download from the MPEG LA site (www.mpegla.com/ avc/avc-agreement.cfm), there are no royalties for free internet broadcast (there are, however, royalties for pay-per-view or subscription video) until Dec. 31, 2010 [extended to 2014]. After that, “the royalty shall be no more than the economic equivalent of royalties payable during the same time for free television.”This makes royalties payable for “free television” the best predictor of where internet royalties will stand in 2011. Under the terms of the agreement, you have two options: a one-time payment of $2,500 “per AVC transmission encoder” or an annual fee starting at “$2,500 per calendar year per Broadcast Markets of at least 100,000 but no more than 499,999 television households, $5,000 per calendar year per Broadcast Market which includes at least 500,000 but no more than 999,999 television households, and $10,000 per calendar year per Broadcast Market which includes at 1,000,000 or more television households.”
This isn't just free as in beer, it's free as in free of cost.

I think the goal is more to get something good out of removing CO2, instead of a very slow and gradual change of benefiting the atmosphere.
Mind you, if the goal was to just remove CO2, they do have plans to build new skyscrapers with trees up high.
Earthbound's a good game even if that was its tagline.
It's not incorrect to say ClamAV for Windows 3.0, but it's much less confusing to say ClamAV 3.0 for Windows.
What happens when you turn 18 that magically makes you an adult?

Seriously? White space is annoying?
Yes. See: Quake3 engine games that don't use any Quake3 data.

Graphics cards are now sold with OpenGL 4.0 support. It's not stuck at 2.0, like you're suggesting with Direct3D 9.
I just use the xpi. Since I'm running from Linux and all. I didn't even know there was an installer.
Merde...
Um. Have you not noticed that we humans are the characters in a game and the score is money? Guess who the players are as well.
*Cough*
Neither is Slashdot, but we keep on coming here anyway.
I wonder why...
It's speculation. I guess I should have added that.
Newsflash: companies have self-interests.
In other news, water is wet.
They aren't going to add anything anymore. It may as well be RC.

Really? It's 3rd yes, but it's bigger than everyone under it combined.

There's a saying... it's better to keep quiet to seem like a fool than speak and remove all doubt.
How about they just admit they're trying to copy Chrome and just make it an option instead of forcing it on people?
Thanks Mozilla.
OK. But what's the battery life?
Only for a few more years, and then MPEG4's h264 falls into public domain and becomes as "open" as webM. I'd rather just wait.
2027 is a few years?
>>>beyond your own immediate interests
>>>When technologies are legally encumbered,
Web browsers may cost money again to play HTML5 video encoded in h264.
That's the issue.

Godwin'd already.
