To get even close to the clock speeds in the PC world, Apple has to water cool its processors. Expect a fresh round of "Megahertz myth" propaganda if this trend continues.
You're right--it is philisophical--but as a non-gamer, it's easy for me to keep my G400 with all open source drivers. But we're screwed now that it's become acceptable to ship binary only drivers and hide the specs.
I'm not a gamer, so haven't run into the 3D problem. But so long as we keep buying the cards with closed drivers, there'll be no incentive for manufacturers to open the specs.
But that's because the PPC emulation is very slow. If the PPC emulation were to get better, and a tighter coupling between, say, Quartz Extreme and the DirectX API hacked into this emulator, Apple will have a problem leveraging its operating system monopoly to sell expensive hardware.
. . . after SourceForge gets the C&D. Apple isn't just going to sit back and let this emulator get better and faster and start eating into their proprietary hardware sales.
Sure they were--Microsoft didn't have to break the law. But they did, it was proven and now they're subject to the judgement for plaintiff's attorney's fees. They exposed themselves to that risk by abusing their monopoly.
And what happened to the old Freedom network? It was conveniently shut down due to "lack of a market" right after 9/11. Can't have Joe Average with strong anonymity!
. . . your "buddies" at Cisco and Yahoo for providing the customized routers and consulting services that are helping this evil regime tighten the noose on it's subjects.
And to whoever modded down that post offtopic, fuck you. I've got more karma than you can take away.

I don't recall having signed a contract when I bought my last DVD and agreed to jack shit. I bought it, it's mine--all the copyright means is that I can't distribute copies of it.
How could I have forgotten stunnel -- for connecting to the premier Usenet provider, Easynes, with NNTP over SSL. Can't have Obergruppenfuehrer Ashcroft examining my downloads with Carnivore.

I'll bet Donald Rumsfeld wishes there had been a registration database of digital camera purchasers. I wouldn't count that idea out just yet.

There will never be one if people keep buying the cards without available specs.

Another fine reason to not buy cards that only have closed source accelerated drivers, if you ask me.
Don't worry, no one's going to waste their mod points modding down someone's recently created troll ID, unless an editor is in the mood.

Easy. They use legal threats against smaller and less well-funded entities, whether they're right or not.

raise prices, and keep their monopoly. Sounds like proof positive to me.
I like the way you seized on "non-exclusive" while ignoring "perpetual" and "irrevocable."

And this has zero moral force with what I do with the material for my own personal use.

So you think only porn sites are blocked by library filters.
I of course meant the electronic version, but they're still colloquially called card catalos around here.
Do you have to log in to use your card catalog? (No for the ones in my area)

Holy cow! A web bug in a calculator! Fortunately, I have my pre-WWW 48 that's spyware free :).
