Of course you do not get nearly as much performance, D3D on Wine is a wrapper around OpenGL, if D3D would be Linux native this wouldn't be an issue.
However the speed of OpenGL compensates some of the losses introduced during the D3D calls translation process.
Again, I don't know why you have to be such a MS fanboy, and also why MS has to be such a cock and simply not give up on D3D and promote OpenGL, they are only hurting developers in the long run (by decreasing code portability)...
Are they bandwidth providers (because at the end of the day this is the job description of any ISP/Mobile provider) or NOT?
They have to make up their minds, they can't keep selling stuff they can't deliver, it is called "false advertising" and leads to enormous fines and possibly jail time where I live.
My point is exactly that: Direct3D is deficient in everything EXCEPT games. OpenGL is effecient for everything INCLUDING games.
The market as you call it is just Microsoft pushing dollars to software and hardware people to convince them to push for DirectX while in fact it would be in their own best interest to pay more attention to OpenGL, you know cross-platform and everything.
The market for DirectX is kids drinking MS koolaid
The market for OpenGL is anyone with a brain
Goodnight sir, enjoy your MS (free market, rofl) delusions.
Certainly you do not imply that the hospital is sending my x-rays/scans/MRIs to some Indian for analysis?
I doubt you are because AFAIKhospitals in my country keep all their imaging traffic strictly between doctors of the same hospital and only with permission from the patient can it ever leave their network.
I have always seen in person, in the flesh, the radiologist doing my MRIs/scans/x-rays (and i have had many many in various hospitals in my country) to discuss the results within minutes of putting my clothes back on.
Oh really? I work in graphics programming (notably OpenGL-based) and have done so for about 15 years now. Don't dare tell me that the DirectX "consumer" crowd isn't just kids playing their Xbox and watchig HD pr0ns and hollywood blockbusters on their Windows Media Center ? Yeah I am sure their technical requirements must just beyond imagination and only DirectX can pull it off!
And the LHC will eventually leave higgs to the SLHC which will still be too flimsy to pull it off but physics lovers will masturbate to it nonetheless...
Yes CONSUMER graphics; stuff that allows you to watch 1080p movies and think it is somehow new or groundbreaking. That is what CONSUMER graphics is about...
Even the LHC is really too wimpy to get anywhere interesting.
The power required is far beyond LHC's capabilities and also they are doing it wrong. They need to be more way more "brutal" to get anywhere near Higgs.
Higgs isn't in itself very interesting but it is the most reachable goal I suppose.
Close Tevatron, close LHC, they are going about it wrong anyway. They are just massive toys for particle-based masturbation.
If they were serious about it they'd (possibly or not) need about 1 billion times the power of the LHC. (yes, i know that may seem a lot but it is peanuts really, you didn't expect having a go at
reality/the universe would be that easy huh?)
Oh I forgot to comment on "hardware requirements" you are right about that one sir, only DirectX keeps nagging people about have the latest DirectX version hardware. Yes they are quite up to date with requirements, with capabilities, meh... not really...
Exactly DirectX is about market control.
DirectX is actually technically quite horrible to work with if you do any serious graphic programming; I am NOT talking about making games here where now adays you just load your models and slap the same shaders we see in all recent games.
I am talking about stuff that is actually difficult to do right, where you need precision and not for it to just look pretty. I am talking about engineering, medical, science here.
DirectX is for kids
OpenGL is for men
Try harder... When I read this I wanted to burst: "Microsoft fanboi", actually
MICROSOFT FANBOY!
Actually OpenGL is driving innovation more but perhaps in a less flashy way that the latest whatever-shootin-game-is-popular-nowadays
OpenGL has serious uses, like medical imaging, engineering etc... (on top of gaming)
DirectX has... big budget run-of-the-mill gaming
The winner is obvious.

US and other governments will face vengeance and head-rolling on a massive scale for acting like assholes, instead of apathy previously.
Believe me, something is brewing, just need a strong enough spark now...
Believe it or not, the other day as I was showering I was picturing Steve Jobs arguing with Verizon on 4G service quality on the iPhone.

I can use DirectX very well in Wine, thank you for bringing it up ;)

DX11 is actually behind OpenGL and will remain so possibly forever and this for a very simple reason: It DOESN'T WORK on most machines!

They sell your data...
Isn't this already on torrents anyway? google HD torrents of Star Wars... What's so new then?
I cant wait to leech this and have my childhood pissed on once more!
well my rooter is provided by my ISP so I dont know what actually goes on in there. Also it is unlikely they know what goes thru it, on a side note...
I won't have to see Mr Fuckface on every page anymore... (he became Mr Fuckface after dissing wikileaks)
hosts file doesn't allow for wildcard... thats the problem
