OpenGL on Windows is used by things like SolidWorks, Maya, Photoshop, Lightroom, etc. All those "pro content creation" applications. Games tend to target DirectX.

How the hell do people actually get infected with malware all the time? The only malware I've been hit with was the nVir virus on a Mac in the early '90s, and the Welchia worm on Windows in the early '00s. How do people get infected all the time? I don't do anything special or magical, but I still don't get problems with malware.

Trouble is you need roughly APS-C sized sensors to make 50MP resolution worthwhile. Any smaller and quantum effects will make it too noisy. Not to mention the size you'd want for a good enough lens to deliver that much detail.

Glossy print, you fool.

So what's it a knock-off of? I don't see it being all that useful, but that's another matter entirely. Anyway, this is supposed to be news for nerds, and shoving another touchscreen into a device in a silly place is a very nerdy development.

To be fair, he did establish a global ice market. There had previously been some local ice storage and trade, but Tudor established it on a trans- and intercontinental level.

Ice House St is one of the stops on the HK Island tram that I actually remember the name of :) Ice for keeping drinks cold at parties, picnics, barbecues, etc. is pretty popular in Australia, too. Bottle shops, petrol stations and supermarkets often sell it.

It isn't on earth, dumbarse. It's a space station.

Oh what? They blamed Iraq for plenty of things they didn't do, and they've never presented evidence for all the claims of cyber attacks from Russia and China.

What happened to 6 and 9?

Keep in mind, I can't recall if it was 2k11 or 2k12 but the Obama admin did not exactly dispute the pentagons view that "cyber" attacks could/should be viewed as an act of war. The "terror" threats against theaters have escalated things from a criminal matter, attack on a corporation, to a state matter attack on the public and order; therefore some kind of "response" is required. I am sure 0bama is trying to find a way to "do something" or appear to be without pissing off the Chinese.

So the US has committed acts of war against Germany by tapping their head of state's phone, etc. Or is it only an act of war when it's against US interests?

In Australia, many European cars (e.g. BMW, VW, etc.) have the turn signal stalk on the left even though they're right-hand drive models.

How does this legitimise the raids? They didn't get anyone connected to this incident when they conducted the raids. They didn't obtain any information allowing them to predict or prevent today's incident. They didn't even manage to charge anyone. All they did was piss off a significant proportion of the population by harassing people who, as far as we can tell, were innocent (lack of charges points to this). For all we know, today's incident could be a direct result of the raids. Harassing innocent people tends to radicalise them.

Yeah, but they managed to piss a lot of people off mightily. You can't expect no backlash if you do shit like that.

You obviously aren't a whore and don't know any. Whores don't try to poach customers from each other. Whores don't take it personally when a customer chooses another whore. I could go on, but it's off-topic. But I can assure you, professional courtesy definitely exists among whores.
