"a 3D accelerator is not even required"
Does Linux allow use of switch able screen/off-screen graphics memory buffers?
If not then even 2d games will take a hit doing unnecessary blit ( as compared to Windows.)

Remember this is not a religion or principle we are talking about here but just another product.
You bought computer and installed OS that doesn't have games your son wanted and doesn't do stuff your wife wanted and you call it a good start ?
Hell if IRA was sheltered and protected by Ireland and managed to blow up 6000 people, I am sure British would react jsut like you wrote.
Anyway, who gives a fuck what you think...
You have no idea what I think and you have no idea if CNN views are exactly how I see the world.
I am sure your local NZ news source are just as biased and would seem such to me.
Basically, you have no more right to claim that your know what is biased than I so this discussion is pointless.
Oh please, get lost with your "colorless" crap.
Every nation on earth is guilty, at one time or another, of killing some innocent people.
If you fail to see diference between US and its policies and bunch of idiotic terrorist bend on pure destructin, then you are helpless.
Fuck man are you that naive ?
Do you truly believe that you can stop evil by "prayers" ?
Do you ?
If people like you were running US or GB during last world war there wouldn't be any Jews left because there would be no one to stop Hitler and his allies.
Sure, keep praying until one of them blows your brains out.
"just because there isn't a large Linux game market right now doesn't mean there will not be in the distant future."
Well, it does not mean that there will be one , does it ?
"There are all kinds of free liscensing schemes which could apply to the free version."
Granted.
You have a point here.
"It's a risk, but I'd be willing to say it's a worthwhile risk. It's like gambling on fair odds with a high payout. "
I am willing to say that the risk you are talking about is definitely not worthwhile?
Interesting how your guess is valid opinion but mine is simply trolling.
Don't do it.
There is no money to be made in Linux market.
Just take a look at Loki problems.
What we have here is a single (yeah, with almost 100% market) Linux game developer unable to make money here and you are trying to sell compiler directed at game developers ?
It simply doesn't make any sense.
"in order to be really accepted and widely used by Linux users, you'll need to issue a free version for the developers to use. "
Sorry but that is just stupid.
It is compiler what are we talking about here, a tool used exclusively by developers.
There is no "Linux users acceptance" here, if developers get to have it for free, that is it, you just killed your entire market here.
"do you really want to get in? "
I don't think they want to get in, for the simple reason that there is almost no money to be made in Linux market selling compilers.

Well, that sucks too because if you want to open another jpeg with Photoshop you have to load it using menu.
Same problem as with Windows.
Hell if IRA was sheltered and protected by Ireland and managed to blow up 6000 people, I am sure British would react jsut like you wrote. ...

Of course, but I am not impartial either.
Yeah, we should all stop listening to CNN and other US news agencies and tune ourselves to Garin from Slashdot...

Well, we all are people and we all make mistakes.
10 years ago it did make sense to support Afghans against Russian invaders.
Yeah, that is exactly right.
Well, them and YOU for people like you are ultimately part of the problem,.
Hmm ... so , I understand , there will be NO retaliation or any violent action next time IRA blows something in London ?
"As if the International court of Justice were incapable of delivering true justice"
How the fuck should we know that ?
We do have our own judicial system and we do not need bunch of overpaid European politicians influencing our lives.
"trial of Osama bin Laden (or the Taliban for aiding him) at the International Criminal Court "
Yeah, sure I agree. Now go and get him.
Please come back when your coutry contributes as much as we do.
BTW who the fuck are you to tell what our response should be ?
Fuck man are you that naive ?
Do you truly believe that you can stop evil by "prayers" ?
Do you ?

"We keep many development countries poor intentionally in order to get cheap labour. "
What the fuck are you talking about ?
Do you claim that Europeans have a direct line to God and in our countries everything grows twice as fast ?
"American government had the option to think WHY this horrible terrorist attack happened "
These attack were financed by extremely rich dude whose main motivation is hatred against western values and our way of live.
Get real or get lost.
"And pharmaceutics groups that forbids poor countries to make their own drugs, because of patents?"
....
If it weren't for these companies your stupid ass wouldn't even have that drug.
Gee, what a moron.
"Do you think their will be more terrorists against USA if USA give money to the poor or if they bomb a country? "
So we should shower people with money every time somebody bombs one of our cities.
You are one fucking genius
Yeah, but not on this site.
Here you either are for Linux or troll.
"and would gladly convert to linux if the games were available there."
That is nice guess but we have concrete evidence that it is simply not true ( Loki )
How the fuck do you know what I do ?
Moron.

"I quite frankly can't see the market for this either."
There is no market for commercial compilers on Linux period.
Yeah, smartass ... merging with GCC is a great way to put all these people out of work.
Don't do it.
There is no money to be made in Linux market.

"It is owned by Trolltech that sells more advanced versions of Qt. "
You know nothing about Qt.
Free Qt containst EVERY module offered by TrollTech.
There is nothing missing there.
