Actually, there are quite a few very well written opengl managed libs that take full advantage of hardware acceleration, written by people other than microsoft. Some of these are even free and open.
I understand you think what you believe is correct, but can you all please ease up on the zealotness?
I for one look forward to games coming out using.net and managed opengl libs. Suddenly game makers won't have to do much work at all to write games that perform well on windows, linux, even osx. Sounds like removing lock-in to me
If apple become the largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world, THEN this will be a case of anticompetitive practice. So if you want to 'teach apple a lesson', perhaps stop buying their products. Or, tell everyone to buy them:P
Have you ever tried to use an app that needed 12gb of memory, when 8gb of it is swap????? You'll be sitting there FOREVER waiting for it to do anything as it's moving 8gb of crap to disk. Basically, if you hit this point, you don't need more swap, you need more RAM!
2gb of swap is plenty. Regardless of setup or application. If this runs short, buy more ram and use a 64bit OS.

What, you don't think Dungeons and Dragons was a work of art?
Wait.. you actually think the netshare ban, in countries where the telcos don't block tethering, was 'reasonable'? I sure as hell hope you're just trolling and aren't really this retarded!
Why does everyone keep insisting on pushing CE? Any 'low end' x86 device these days is capable of running XPe. And XPe doesn't restrict your application pool to a minimal set of buggy, broken, poorly maintained, half-useful apps the way CE does. Just let it die already! Please, for the love of god let it die!
(troll / flamebait / honest opinion from someone who's been forced to use CE for nigh on 10 years... take your pick and mod accordingly)
Hehe I'm sorry the mods feel it's a troll. In fact, it's an opinion. And it's one shared by a large majority of people. I actually own a ps3 and every single week I go looking for titles worth buying. And every week I'm disappointed....
Personally, I don't see why anyone would be embarrassed by this. Frankly I'd love the chance to say that to a telephone service operator without them having cause to play the 'omg you're being abusive' card and hanging up without actually finishing the job or receiving my complaints so their KPI stats look better. Which happens a lot. Specially with a certain Australian Telco monopoly I have to deal with a lot.
I see nothing in any of the parent posts that refers to a computer worm that can propagate without having it's payload executed or otherwise 'run' on a host pc
I've never heard of a computer worm that can reproduce without actually having their code executed. Unless you're counting smurf amplifying subnets and ping packets perhaps?
I forsee a new economy based on the shopping bag currency being deployed soon. Banks will loan out 100 bags and expect 200 in return. Bag counterfeitters will be charged with the highest penalties, whilst governments print their own bags at will.
NEWSFLASH: Secret underground hackers release the first homebrew mail client for ps3. Astoundingly simple, this works by pointing the ps3 browser at gmail.com. Sorry you didn't think of it first in order to take credit? Too bad!
"ok, so point out a central solution to have distribute calendaring, with email based appointment, shared address books, shared activities, and group management which could be installed in less than one day"
It's called a web browser
What's even funnier than 'empoying', is the context in which they use it:
"Attention to detail when building this cable was used by empoying high quality insulation, tin-bearing alloy shielding and woven jacketing to reduce vibration and to add durability."
Great attention to detail guys!

How is this a flamebait and the parent not? Zealots should not be mods ;)
erm, J# is an ms port of java. C# isn't. It's much less migraine inducing than java for starters.

Well, it's just as valid a question...
Hehe I'm sorry the mods feel it's a troll. In fact, it's an opinion. And it's one shared by a large majority of people. I actually own a ps3 and every single week I go looking for titles worth buying. And every week I'm disappointed....
These days saying that the PS3 has no exclusives is about as accurate as saying the Xbox only has FPS games.
Well, no good exclusives worth rushing out and paying for.
Creationists have every right to be ignorant. And we have every right to laugh at them for it.

Java? I was almost excited by this. :(
You mean 'anomaly', right? And I resent that.
hahaha (yes, irrelevant and irreverent I know but I still had to laugh)
