You're both wrong... Half-Life is in fact based upon Quake, not Quake 2... Valve licensed Quake 2 much to late for it to be of use to them, after having already missed their first intended deadline... The only way in which you can run Counter Strike in linux is via Wine, and it doesn't do a good job...
If you actually bothered to follow these things before pretending to be knowledgeable enough to post about them, you'd have read several articles from various parties of Valve explaining 1) That Half-Life is not based on Quake 2 and 2) Why they won't port Half-Life to linux...
Actually if you bothered to read the parent of the post you're responding to, they mean all of DirectX... These people may only be working on a Direct3D wrapper, but that was a criticsm the parent of the post you replied to was making; that it was just Direct3D...
In response they simply said, "Hey, SDL doesn't offer everything needed to make a decent wrapper for DirectX!"
In the future you should use that +1 more conservatively, since your response is off topic at best, or just another troll with a +1...

By convincing employers that might not know their ass from their elbow that Java is innately superior and more secure, this will shape what sort of things people will actively use to solve problems, such as technical folk with no choice but to do what their employers ask of them...

Getting high frame rates is important to them because they aren't constant... Just because you get 160-200fps looking at a wall doesn't mean you'll get >50fps in a complex section of a map with dozens of other players and all of your texture settings all the way up...
It also allows them to turn on features that have had hefty tolls on video cards and CPUs, like FSAA and anisotropic filtering... Or perhaps turn off quality-reducing features such as texture compression...
Instead of whining about why gamers are so misguided for their terrible, obviously penis-oriented efforts, why don't you go about doing whatever it is you know something about?

You do realize that they use hardware to show the frames multiple times, right? You also realize they use bluring to keep your brain from screaming?
If you think you're so smart, cap your framerates to 24 and see how fluid that looks to you... Drop your monitor to 60Hz (to save money on electricity) and go about your day...
ATI is just trying bash the GeForce 4 because their products can't compete... If this was Microsoft, the dotters would be screaming FUD!!!!!!!! at the top of their nasal voices...
The GeForce 4 outperforms a GeForce 3 clock-for-clock even without its extra shader unit... And then there's the potential of having TwinView on a performance card that will run well in linux, unlike the crap ATI's ass is crying about...
Yup, because game fraterates are a constant 90fps or 120fps, regardless of scene complexity...
Anyway, with that hardware you'll get more than 90fps max... Try com_maxfps 0 for a while, and see what you cap at... You can always turn the cap back to whatever floats your boat...
