  1. Re:It runs like crap on Mojang Releases Minecraft: Pi Edition For the Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1

    Liz has already stated there is no 3d acceleration for X or any graphic desktop

    this is correct, but it's not what you claimed above:

    there are no 3d acceleration on the pi at all...

    this is false. and this is what i quoted above and previously pointed out as being false.

    there is 3d acceleration on the pi. there are EGL and GLES drivers. they do work, they're not 'in the works', they are provided by Broadcom. it is possible to write 3d-accelerated software on the pi.

    the RasPI foundation has already stated they WILL NOT release or open source their graphics drivers for 3d acceleration

    sure. but the fact that those drivers aren't open-source, doesn't mean that they don't exist, nor does it mean that 'there are no 3d acceleration on the pi'.

    there are projects in the work to being 3d acceleration desktop enviroment to the PI

    sure, but trying to retroactively qualify your troll with 'desktop environment' doesn't change the fact that you stated 'no 3d at all' before. we're not talking about desktop environments (whatever that means), we're talking about 3d acceleration in general. again, the lack of an accelerated X11 driver does NOT mean that there's no 3d acceleration on the pi at all...

    if you're going to troll, at least pick something that's not trivial to refute with a simple google search for your statement above which handily returns a small roundup of graphics as the first result.

    here's some more (just to illustrate how poor your trolling attempt was):

    And yet the concept of banning religious doctrine from law is enshrined in the US constitution - he only original part of that document.

    the problem with the TI stuff is that while the hardware is excellent, the dev tools suck bad, the support is non-existent, and they have the gall to want you to pay for the privilege of developing software for their platform. atmel excels in this regard. their visual studio-derived IDE supports both AVR and ARM.
