OpenGL Spec Now Controlled by Khronos Group

99BottlesOfBeerInMyF writes "According to a recent press release, the OpenGL Architecture Review Board has voted to transfer control of the OpenGL API standard to the Khronos Group, an industry working group that seems mostly known for its focus on mobile applications. Apple Computer has also just joined the group, presumably because of their interest in OpenGL for the OS X platform. I wonder what affect, if any, this will have upon the future development of the OpenGL standard."

Kronos?

I can't believe I saw this and thought we were talking about Klingons until my brain caught up.

Joy, Sorrow?

I can't make up my mind what affect it will have ...

Not my fault!

[The-Bus]

If this doesn't come out favorably, don't blame me!

I voted for Kodos.

That would be the Q'onos group, you spineless p'taq!

BTW, I included the "spineless p'taq" comment in order to keep with the theme, not because I'm trying to be insulting. I think of it as an "insensitive clod" joke, only with more glory and honor. Qapla!

Pretty hard, I guess....

[Dcnjoe60]

Jesus fucking GOD how hard is it?

It amazes me that you have such a grasp of the use of "affect" and "effect" but don't seem to grasp that the word "fucking" should only be used as a verb or adverb and not an adjective. Unless your really meant to express that Jesus is copulating with God, which to answer your question, would seem to be pretty hard to do.

It's not funny if you have to explain it. Now THAT'S spineless. A true warrior is never afraid to offend.
(Besides, this is /.)

I dunno, I think that'd be a pretty good expletive. Certainly better than things like "By the balls of Zeus!" or "May Apollo rape me in the night!" or "By Aphrodite's breasts!" (OT: at least one of these expletives is genuine.) In any case, since they're supposed to be "consubstantial" with one another, it'd be at most just a kinky kind of masturbation (which also wouldn't be offensive in most pagan religions, incidentally).

Re:ITM effects.

[Petrushka]

I guess I'm a bit more tired than I thought...

Yes, your tiredness had an effect on your affect and affected the effect of your post.

I disagree. Fucking should and will be used in any part of any sentence at any time. It simply transcends all grammatical boundaries and can fucking well fucking go fucking where the fucking hell it wants to, fucking.

Not to be crass, of course.
