Thats because of the damn GUI they have. I hate it. Its the only thing I dont like about Mozilla. Try K-Meleon.. its new and still in beta, but it uses NGLayout (mozilla's rendering software) with a normal GUI that doesnt take so much out of the system.
I dont think so. I have a 766 mhz/128 megs of RAM system running wonderfully fast, but its not enough! I always wish I had more speed, I could really use alot more speed, thats why I want a dual processing Athlon system. I cant use less.
Maybe he's right, maybe no ONE program can slow down his system and certainly not mine. At the lowest settings. OK, so Alice (which I really want to get) can run on his system fine, but what if yuo like higher resulutions? Faster framerates? The ability to run at all, isnt the ability to run well!
And another thing is that many people are multitasking the hell out of their computers! I have at least 20 apps at start-up and I use them all too!
I can see their point. SGI's I mean. But, at the same time, I can see their invalidness, where they are quite wrong reguarding that they can copyright this, and persue such a copyright.
"OpenGL" as whole has every right to be copyrighted, but not the segments that make it up (Being "Open" and "GL").
Why? Because it wasn't their idea! We have to remember things like this, that OpenGL is called so because it is a Graphics Library (which can be abbreviated as 'GL' and was so long before OpenGL came along). And, remember that the Open part refers only to its being open-source. Was OpenGL the first project to use such terminology to show their open-source ways? Hell, no!
Yes, they have some right to be ticked. No, they have no right to sue or to copy right as they are.
OpenIL, OpenAL, all of you others out there at risk (wouldn't that be about HALF the projects over at Sourceforge?!) FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT! I'll back you up, and I hope everyone else would too. Let's start standing up for our rights. We have the right to make others do what we know they should, and to stop them from doing what they shouldn't. Thats the point of a democracy, as we so call ourselves. If the majority of Americans know that things such as this should stop, then they must.
Forget the politics, remember the people!
And to all the Big Bussiness people out there reading this, I'm talking to all of you. Quit the shit, It's going to stop. You won't last long with your spell of bitchiness.
Anyone else notice that lately EVERYONE in bussiness has been patent and copyright crazy and going completely nuts as to what counts as infringement? Let's stop the bullshit.
I announce that we should start some way to get rid of this crap. We know the truth, but the lawyers and judges don't. How can we fix this? We all know we are the ones that know the truth, and we need to stop bitching about all these problems and start doing something about them. Big trials mean alot, so eventually there will be some "Trial of the Century" over this sort of bullshit, something more generalized than the annoying Napster trials, and we need to do more than sit back and cry or cheer when things go good and bad. Lets stand up and fight, and that means a lot more than just e-mailing our congressmen so they can delete our cries. Do more than cheer on your team in the game, jump on the court and put your feet down, show the world we mean bussiness. We can change the way things work, and we will. Let's not wait to do so.
just because turn-based games are dwindling on computer media doesnt mean they are leaving. it just doesnt make sense to do turn-based on computers when it was designed for pen/paper.
ive been playing with this same idea all day! my idea was mroe this tho:
that a system should do away with the text interface, but allow keyboard interface with the modern GUI. really tho, EVERYTHING needs redone.
the wonder of open-source is that if you dont like something, you fix it! try that! go onto sourceforge.net and start up a group for making all your hebrew needs on your OS a reality! then everyone else in your situation gets together and you get all the hebrew support you need.
I really dont see whats wrong with them using it. We all need to realize that it doesnt matter who uses what, just what WE want to use. Linux is wonderful for techies like us, but its shit for the majority.
