WebGL is an API based on OpenGL ES 2.0, which is also an API.
The OpenGL API is usually provided by a driver. ANGLE, on the other hand, implements the OpenGL ES 2.0 API on top of Direct3D, thus eliminating the need for a driver that supplies OpenGL.
And "the scene" is also extremely insular and elitist and the last thing they want is to actually provide anything to normal people.
So the vast majority of people will not be getting their warez from any scene, but from some dodgy second-, third- or fourth-hand supplier down the chain who might have done lord knows what to the software in the meantime.
Seriously, why is everyone hating on him so much? Is this not slashdot?
If you ever tried asking help for a complicated issue from a bunch of nerds, you'd know that the thing they like the most is telling you you are an idiot for wanting to do that, and that you should be doing something else. Obviously you could never have thought things through yourself in your tiny little brain. This is how one establishes one's own superiority over the lusers and idiots (that is, everyone else).
And if he's trying to see if he can read data patterns off platters by hand from a dismantled drive, and needs a known test pattern to calibrate his equipment with?
Except that you're still assuming the need to comply with their save game format.
Unless you're planning to start rewriting the game engine, the yes, you do need to do just that. Saving a game is not a trivial and easily abstracted part of the game, it definitely ties deeply into the entire game engine.
He refuses to submit bug reports or patches back to Chromium, because he is not interested in actually improving it, just in promoting his own fork. The Chromium devs are most definitely interested in fixing any possible privacy issues, and in fact Chromium does pretty much everything Iron does, without having to trust some shady guy on the internet.
Because unlike with Chrome he is offering the modified browser's source code of Iron as well, so you can check for yourself and compile. Browse the forums, is anyone voicing privacy concerns there regarding this fork?
As a big source code dump. He's not submitting any patches back to Chromium, who would be very interested in them, or filing any bugs, because he is only interested in making money off his own fork.
Chromium already does pretty much everything sane that Iron does. There's no need to feed an open source leech by using it.
If you want to remove the Google stuff, you can already get Chromium. You don't need Iron for that, and you're definitely taking a much bigger risk trusting some shady guy on the internet over trusting the Chromium team.
If someone takes an open source project and removes some components for privacy concerns,
And refuses to file any bugs or submit any patches back to the original project, because he is not actually interested in improving that, but just in promoting his own fork for monetary reasons?

What you want to look at is momentum, not mass or force. A photo has non-zero momentum even though its mass is zero.
Can't 4n sensors report the same thing as n sensors by summing the values from each 2x2 square?
There's the issue of loss at the edges between pixels, and also the issue of amplifier noise, and probably other things besides.
What is, and what isn't?

Because it is immature, slow and doesn't actually beat h.264. It might improve, but that is still in the future.
Actually, Theora is pretty fast. But you are mostly right about weak and ugly.
Here, have a cookie.
No, I saw it, and how confused it was.
Silent Hunter 5 has been cracked. Assassin's Creed 2 has not. And you shouldn't trust everything Slashdot tells you.
As far as I know, there is no working crack for Assassin's Creed 2 yet, so no, it's not. At least not yet.
And re-writing an entire codebase from scratch for a secondary platform you don't care much for is good design?
Chrome's Javascript is much faster than Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl or plain Lua. Only LuaJIT beats it.
Popups yes, malware not so much, since Chrome isn't as insecure as Firefox.
So, what, you're complaining that Firefox didn't lose hard enough?
Out of the browsers available, Chrome and IE8 are probably the securest right now, thanks to proper sandboxing. Chrome is also the least bloated.

Somehow people do ask me all kinds of questions, yet I can deal with it without being a goddamn asshole.
You'll also find that if you show people respect and don't treat them like idiots, they'll be far happier to accept your suggestions.
By what definition would that be, then?

That's what Chromium is, and it most definitely exists.
