This has got to be running on a multicore system (although I pray it isn't). I dug around on the freedesktop.org site looking for some documentation on the hardware used for this demo but sadly nothing came of my efforts. Some of the notes sugest a multithreaded glx approach which seems to indicate ...

Yeah I don't like my hosting company and I don't want to give them any more money at this point :) I did the deal just now, I ended up going with namecheap.com on a recomendation I got on the binrev forums. $8.88 and it includes whois privacy for free, I couldn't be bothered to look any further...

Domain registrar advice

Okay first let me say that I am a big fan of the low quality “raw” file. Some of the most interesting and amusing stuff comes in this section. While I would love to embrace ogg vorbis the simple fact is that it's poorly supported on portables ( I bought an Iriver with high hopes a year ago but as we...
