I don't know what you're talking about. I only corrected the parent who implied you couldn't resell your game, which isn't true with this particular DRM implementation.
That's not true. You can buy PSN cards with cash that you then use to buy whatever game you want on the PSN. I'm pretty sure Nintendo and Microsoft have something similar.
That's because people in general don't like new things, even if they are better. They like to have things they are used to. Just look at all the controversy when KDE 4 slightly changed the way the desktop works.
I can't verify this right now, but I thought KWin disabled the 3d effects automatically when you launch a 3d application, and restored them after. At least I have had no problem playing 3d games or using Google Earth on KDE 4.2. Also the slowness you talk about must be hardware/drivers specific since it all runs smoothly on my netbook.
I easily get 6 or 7 hours out of my NC10 while working normally with wifi enabled and the screen brightness at half. If I disable wifi and lower the brightness a little more I can get up to 8 hours.
Ok that's true for 3d. I was thinking more about video performance. It has acceleration for things like VC1, h264... Even in 3d though it is a modern GPU having unified shaders for example, but only a small amount of shader units (4 I think) and a relatively low frequency so yeah it won't be a beast in 3d.
Yeah first person shooters are totally overdone, and third person shooters are starting to. Someone should create a second person shooter for a change.
The people who are making it stop sucking aren't the same as those who are making it portable and you can't just assign them to whatever you want. This isn't how open source development works.

In the case of Stardock's DRM, you can disassociate the game from the email address you registered it with if you decide to resell it.
You can get the data from the PC game, which you can buy from Steam or id's website.
Since it's open source, nobody is going to stop you porting it.
You clearly don't watch his show. He often talks about Nasa and space stuff. He even did a couple of interviews with astronauts aboard the ISS.
RTFA.
You forgot the most important thing: reverse the polarity. That seems to fix anything wrong with the ships in Star Trek.
Does he/she really love cabbages?
That's not true. You can buy PSN cards with cash that you then use to buy whatever game you want on the PSN. I'm pretty sure Nintendo and Microsoft have something similar.
Yes, there will always be starving people, so if you wait until everyone isn't starving before doing anything, you'll end up doing nothing.
When was the last time Sony released one of their non-MMO games on PC?
AMD didn't release open source drivers. They only released the specs of some of their cards.
Nope it's a discrete GPU that will use a lot of simplified x86 cores and a small amount of fixed function 3d stuff.
Go complain to your distributions then.

What you call waste and bloat I call functionality. As you say, to each their own.
Well since KDE hasn't been released for Windows yet, I don't know why you would expect it to be stable.

The GMA 500 is way better than the 950 performance-wise.

It's not the truth it's your opinion, which is as valid as the one you were responding to.
That's ray casting, not ray tracing. Two different things.
