Yeah, but you see there are more aspects to this than just portability, like performance or scope. You'll need more than just OpenGL to do what DirectX does, if I'm not mistaken.
Oh you think the articles are bad? Try reading the comments. A distressing amount is knee-jerk "OMG you see Obama is bad too". What the libertarian apathetic masses that populate Slashdot want to prove is that is that Democrats are just as bad as Republicans, that they're the same side of two different coins if you will.
Obama made it clear that he cares about the bottom line, not going after the Bush administration to put the blame on them and punish them. But no, Slashdotters are right, let's spend resources and our judicial system's time to kick some ass. It'll all make us feel so much better about our fucked up situation.
since I know that just about every moron that has 'Vice President' or sits on the 'Executive Team' is already on LinkedIn and has no clue about why they should be trying to protect their identity
Here's a question to you Mr_Whoopass, why should they be trying to protect their identity, and by that I mean what you mean, which is making sure no one knows that someone named like you works at the place you work. It sounds as if we were talking about dangers that everyone is aware of to the point it's not necessary to mention them. Well I don't know what dangers we're talking about, so do tell me what's the worst that could happen.
Also, are you sure it was sceptic your mother taught you to be? It sounds to me like we left mere reasonable scepticism a long time ago.
Don't give your name and occupation!

My response seemed necessary though. Everybody's always been dreaming of going to the Moon like it's the bee's knees, but what's really so good about it? Sure, it sounds great to go where you thought you couldn't go before, furthermore when it's a distant place in the sky, but once you're there, ask yourself, is it really worth it, and if so, why? I don't see what's so unimaginative about my point of view by the way, I find it rather reasonably down to Earth, so to speak, but feel free to elaborate on what's so great about living on the Moon.
So let's see, the dream of your lifetime was to move to the middle of a complete desert, where the sky is always black, even during sunsets, which take place only once a month anyways. Call me a buzz killer, but I'm pretty sure that living in the middle of a completely desertic place, with no one around, no vegetation or fauna or atmosphere and month-long days must quickly lose its novelty effect. Did I mention the awful pings? Besides getting a nice look of Earth, you know, where all the fun is it, I fail to see the point of living on the Moon at all.
Indeed, although on the other hand you're still responsible for their actions... That would probably nullify the contract which would I guess be a way to circumvent it, although it would take more than my high school level knowledge of law to sort than one out.
Legally cats are objects, under your same responsibility as other objects. You might as well build a machine to automatically agree to EULAs, that would be just as if you agreed yourself. When's the last time blaming the dog (or the cat) worked for you anyways?
Why do we care that the MP3 has patents and all that? What does it do? Why must this turn into yet another ideological crusade of the FOSS underdog taking the mainstream challenger on in an impossible uphill battle?
NASA should stick to what it's so good at doing: sending robots into space.
We meat bags should stay on Earth where we belong.
But.. but.. shouldn't we make it our duty to live up to the expectations that grown people had as children to see people all over space in the 21st century? I can't be the only one who felt a great disturbance in my psyche, as if my inner child cried out "No men on the moon, no jetpacks and no flying cars in the future? What a rip-off!" and suddenly threw up a tantrum?

Everybody worthy of carrying a geek card did.
OMGRU new here? Everybody knew that, now hand in your geek card ;-)
Yes, it's in the server/mail options. It's easy to find.
Yeah, but you see there are more aspects to this than just portability, like performance or scope. You'll need more than just OpenGL to do what DirectX does, if I'm not mistaken.
...the year of the 3D Linux desktop!
Isn't it as if we made Ted Koppel lead the official investigation on the missing White House e-mails?

They are everywhere and all out to get you!
So? Fucking move to Atacama. At least you can breath over there without needing a refuel.

Duh, you're a moron.
Give me a break, RMS is an ideologist and a zealot. And a hippie. We're talking about government work here.
Whereas if Microsoft took the initiative and led the way, we'd be there in no time.
Yeah, we'd be there, amidst cries of "whaaaa whaaa Winblows 7 doesn't support half of my hardware that is supported by Vista and XP".
Why Win7 is not purely 64 bit is beyond me
So you probably don't know about driver compatibility.
Huh?? So how come all these FOSS programs read MP3s without a worry?
Only a few people give two shits about the quality difference between the two.
Why do we care that the MP3 has patents and all that? What does it do? Why must this turn into yet another ideological crusade of the FOSS underdog taking the mainstream challenger on in an impossible uphill battle?
Wow, someone needs a lesson in humor.
Yeah, someone does. "Who" is the question..
Ten times the possible failure points??? What the hell are you talking about, a RAID 0 array?
On the contrary, do fly in January! What are the odds that FOUR such incidents would take place in that month? /sarcastic logical fallacy
