Financing comes from those who sufficiently give a shit to contribute. Therefore image is important. You're trying to gain people's confidence. Hire a pro-graphic designer to give your funding portal a makeover. Sorry, programmer art does not cut it if you want this to work. Pro-designers/artists don't work for free so you'll need a budget. A bunch of them over here: http://maxforums.org/ Other sites are available. Please do this right.

Can't they just wrap the functionality they need to access into a shared library (which would be GPL) then access interface points to that externally from their closed source module ? They already accesss GPL kernel interface points from their closed source code anyway so more of the same unless I'm missing something. There was a fairly recent ruling that you can't copyright APIs so that would be my workaround unless someone can poke a legal hole in that.

I don't pretend to understand but from the little I've read gravity can be considered negative energy. http://cosmoquest.org/forum/showthread.php/105781-Gravity-and-Negative-Energy etc. no idea if this helps.

Why does a browser need to be able to access more than 4GB ? Has anyone hit that limit yet ? Or even close ?

>"freeze" button to stop all computation on a web page. vpurecover. next ?

real-time physics. you guys are so backwards it's like stepping into a museum. yeah mod me troll. webgl is totally fine btw. the worst it can do is lock up a shader. amd hardware has vpurecover so that's covered. not sure about cl - does it support arbitrary pointers if so could be a problem. need to be able to lock it down to only be able to access a configurable chunk of memory then should be fine too. go ahead and whine about invisible scary monsters.

Now just drive on the correct side of the road & you'll be sorted :)

... almost except it's only a shader so we don't care if it locks up. all we care is that we can detect this situation and force it to quit. I'd be happy with a " GLSL shader failed to respond - quit ? " message after some user configurable timeout (say a second as default). Don't know if this is possible with current generation hardware.

out of bounds array read/writes could cause issues on any platform but surely all that can occur is that you corrupt video memory & potentially lock up a shader as a result ? a timeout in a faulty shader would close this security hole. a shader malfunction message could then be generated.

I give a fuck.

If there is a security hole, it's unlikely to be limited to Linux (or is it ? - waiting for details)

There are still a lot of IE users out there so support on that platform would help build the business case for WebGL content.

Switching browsers is an option if it's a secure solution.
