It's determined by their inclusion into a published standard which has rules about FRAND licensing of all included patented works. Apple's patents aren't part of such a standard and not subject to FRAND rules. What was hard about that?
Yes, which is why I asked for specifics. Mesa is a fucking joke in comparison. The only way to get up to OpenGL 4.3 and massive extension support is their proprietary drivers.
What do you mean? The only way to actually get good OpenGL support, as in support up to the latest versions and massive extension support, is by using either NVIDIA or AMD's drivers. Exactly additional "support" do they need to provide?
You mean other than the fact that the only way to get supporrt for modern OpenGL versions is by using the NVIDIA and AMD proprietary drivers on Linux? And that has hardly made fuck all difference in Linux gaming.
Then they shouldn't have said there was no danger. Would you excuse an inspector of your car saying there were no dangers than 10 minutes after driving away something in your car malfunctions and you get injured in an accident?

And how does an airplane distinguish between pilots and "regular passengers" so that only the former can fly them?

No, that's just the submitter being ignorant. They've live-streamed plebty of other events.
With Windows forking into an ARM and x86 (or AMD64/IA64 whatever want to call it)
AMD64 and IA64 are not even remotely the same. Itanium is vastly different than x86 and AMD64 hence why it failed to catch on.
Then they shouldn't have said there was no danger. Would you excuse an inspector of your car saying there were no dangers than 10 minutes after driving away something in your car malfunctions and you get injured in an accident?
They told people there was no danger. That's not the same as saying it was unlikely.
He wouldn't have made anything. The patents would have expired decades prior to the technology being possible.
Yes, and?
You have that backwards. Netflix is forced to have DRM on the content they stream or else they wouldn't be able to license it.
Why would profanities get them in trouble? You realize that Netflix streams plenty of R-rate movies, right?
They didn't steal "subtitles" they apparently stole some new thing called "subtiles".
They've had them since October 2010. You are seriously behind the times.
Protip: Opera removed all ads in 2005.
You mean the last 7, right? It originated in 9.10.
The USC has had paid apps for around 2 years. Where have you been?
You do realize that Nintendo is a Japanese company, right?
Why not allow it? Because it's better that kids are developing repetitive stress disorder before they are even 18?
The problem is that Chinese law is different. Last time I checked, the laws of Canada had no jurisdiction in China.
If I can't build a factory using my own money, I tend to think that perhaps I shouldn't build a factory.
Yeah and you'd be a terrible business owner. Short-term debt to make magnitudes more in long-term revenue is a great plan.
Yeah, because Kickstarter is totally comparable to IPOs that net billions to 10s of billions of dollars. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
He's probably referring to buying it either used or from somewhere like Amazon where you aren't paying full retail like here.
Yes, but one expects the editors to, you know, edit the submissions. I know, it's nothing but a crazy idea.
