Screw DirectX, openGL 4.x can do anything directX11 can do and can run on just about any platform. For the sake of cross-compatibility - and hell, all compatibility in general, more games should use openGL, directX is a locked down and can only run on Windows and Xbox. I'm not saying DirectX isn't good at what it does, it is. I just don't think it's worth it.

This was using an i7 and GTX 680, so really for slower rigs it's not "more than good enough." Read the actual source article before making these comments, seriously.

Very true. You have no idea how many people think "Noitatsidem Eht" is an actual name, from some foreign country. It's not, in fact it's originally derived from the name of a healing structure in the open source game Tremulous... Read it backwords =P

Too bad I use a nick name on FB.

Actually, very good point. Mod this coward up.

I did just notice some irony between what I just stated, and my signature... Waiting to be modded down, lmao.

Simply because, until a website starts requiring an SS number, or similar, there's no true way to verify if somebody is using their real name. I don't use my legal name on ANY websites (even you, google+), that would be ridiculous. It's no different than letting an employer listen in on all of your one-on-one conversations, to your thoughts on politics. If it does get bad, really, more than anything, it will be effectively a form of corporate censorship.

Why stop there? Ban human life for maximum efficiency.

That's pretty much what I was getting at. Stupid Anonymous Coward, you'll never get modded up like this! D=

Touch screen keyboards totally count. Either way, you're correct, if you choose to live walled in, you're more than welcome to. If you don't, you'd best be smart about it.

Your desktop likely has the same malware problems any android phone will have. Why? It's not a walled garden. Well, android is in a sense more of a walled garden than your desktop, however not nearly as much of one as iOS/WP. Android virus infections are the result of a pebkac, and nothing more. In other news, I was originally going to make a soviet Russia joke.

April 1st was a while back... Just saying.

Climate change aside, isn't reducing pollution incentive enough to look into alternative energy sources? We do only have one earth after all, and I believe common sense dictates that pollution is bad for it. Personally, I don't care if changes in climate are man made or not, but I can't think of a reason why reducing pollution would be a bad thing. Despite our differing political views, can we agree on this much?

Have any sources to cite? This seems interesting!

Sorry, didn't laugh. Your jokes are actually pretty bland, don't quit your day job bro.
