Jeezus... what was the first thing that clued me in to your being an idiot? lets see... Microsoft openGL? Are you crazy? Microsoft employees are probably fired if they use the word 'open'! it's MS Direct3D competing with OpenGL.
I won't even go into the whole "doom and quake caused columbine" thing. What those two psychos did four or five years ago was heinous and evil. I wont debate that. But why do you (and so many others, for that matter) attribute their actions to a computer game? Sure, its violent and gory, but I and countless others play such games and have no compulsion to commit a mass murder. NONE!
OK, so perhaps those games could have contributed to the deaths of 20 or so innocent people at columbine high school, but chances are that would have happened whether or not those 2 kids had played quake or UT. that simply cannot be the sole reason for that crime, so you simply cannot unfairly blame those games for that terrible act, and especially not Jon Carmack.
alright, so i went into the whole "doom and quake caused columbine" thing. sue me. but you're wrong. dead wrong. i just cant believe some people are that dull-witted.
