Not yet. Wait about 18 months. Vulkan will be released towards the end of this year and developers will then need a while to get their heads around it. Vulkan will be a 1st class citizen on Linux, Android, Windows, et al (Apple seem to want to stick with Metal, Microsoft will stick with DX12 of course).
You're suggesting that it should be supported with billions of tax payers cash like the BBC, are you? I love C-Span as much as anyone, but there's a limit to how much freeloading media entities can do. The Guardian, Islington's newspaper of choice, is only around because it's horrific, paid for capitalist publications are so profitable. Itself it loses huge amounts of cash every year.
Why is this +4, insightful? Microsoft is a business. Everything it does is for financial gain. If it wasn't, it would have gone bankrupt a long time ago. I'm also surprised at the idiocy of the OP summary. If Microsoft domiciles elsewhere it'll miss out on all of those pork barrel projects big government in the US hand out to favoured suppliers. That's a financial motivation for Microsoft to remain in the US and another reason why government spending is a malign influence on business and trade.
I'm not too keen on argumentum ad cancerhasn'tbeencuredyet. In reality research in different areas inform each other. Solid State Physics (or Squalid State Physics), useful in medicine (and indeed the technology of cancer research and treatment), informs theoretical physics and hence cosmology. Cosmological observations help verify and direct theoretical physics research, that feeds back into squalid state physics, and so on.
What I mean is that this variation is all different in the same way. If you've ever spent time flying around the Elite Dangerous universe, you'll find that once you've seen one system, you're more or less seen them all. Only artists and animators are able to genuinely surprise you.
All procedural generation is is a really, really, really tight form of compression. It's also lossy compression, so what you recover from it is almost always lots of different things that are all basically the same. Artist created content may be expensive, but it's superior to procedural generation in almost every way.
Not sure why this is "flamebait". It's a very precise summary of the situation. Indeed, you probably don't need to go back in geologic time to find the record is extremely tenuous. A few hundred years would do.
What is wrong with your brain? The important thing is the end product. If the Met Office want the contract back (as they surely must), they'll have to innovate and become better at predicting the weather and producing the forecasts.
Yes, pure Thatcherism - competition results in a general improvement of conditions.
What? Don't be soft. The government can see the Met Office's budget and cut it accordingly. I'm sure it will as it already wastes £250,000,000 a year on this ridiculous organisation.
It's a real pity you don't have the same attitude towards the many activists on the left who seek to get those not towing the SJW line blackballed. This response is a reaction to that.
"right wing extremists" - don't be ridiculous. They're people just fed up with the SJW getting awards for political correctness rather than good science fiction. They're fans, not activists.

There will be an implementation on Linux at release for certain. Valve have been working with it.

When Vulkan is released expect OpenGL 4.0 to fall off a cliff somewhere.

No, I'm not joking. For a developer it's best in class.

That's easy to answer: Energy was expended in moving from a less to a more ordered state. The general rule is that entropy almost always increases.
"there are" implies certainty where none exists. There may be. There may not be.
We don't.
So they should. The real goal of the project is to generate FUD, especially Fear, in order to procure even more tax payers cash from Congress.
You do know. There's information on and within both phones that's a record of which owner they had.

Well said, sir.
They would probably be wrong.

A huge energy saving could be made if this guy just fucking dies.

The mainstream press in "liberal" countries also block based on political content. You can even be prosecuted for a tweet these days.
Should people in glass houses throw stones?
Why is this -1, Troll? This is precisely the affect government funding has had on science.
I hope the people who created/run that site a prosecuted for fraud. And all of the others, like PlentyOfFish.
