DaemonFCthe Intel Gallium3d driver is actually slower than the classic Mesa driverJul 07 19:10
DaemonFCwhen on AMD and Nvidia cards, Gallium3d drivers are much faster than their classic Mesa counterpartsJul 07 19:11
DaemonFCI guess you could chalk it up to more work having been done on themJul 07 19:11
DaemonFCat one point (especially before Gallium3d used LLVM), the classic Mesa drivers were faster on my RadeonHD 5670Jul 07 19:12

DaemonFCr600g is not only more than twice as fast, it renders everything wellJul 07 19:14

DaemonFCit bloats the Mesa bundle when some Intel drivers can use Gallium and some are left on Classic MesaJul 07 19:15
DaemonFCthere seems to be no community at all behind Intel, and if they no longer sell a chipset, the driver code becomes bitrotJul 07 19:15

schestowitzI'd take it back then, they fixed itJul 07 23:27
schestowitzThose bastards along with Apple and Nokia (former MS staff) lobbied for removal of free codecs from  HTML5Jul 07 23:27
DrPizzawhat do you mean, "fixed it"?Jul 07 23:27
schestowitzthey gave inJul 07 23:28
schestowitzSo..Jul 07 23:28
schestowitzThey too contradict you in a wayJul 07 23:28
schestowitzApparently this "proprietary" WebM you speak of is good enough for themJul 07 23:28
DrPizza???Jul 07 23:28
schestowitzBecause it's ineavitable thjat they'll need itJul 07 23:28
DrPizzaWhat the hell are you talking about?Jul 07 23:28
MinceRwell, they did prevent html5 from recommending a default free codec, did they not?Jul 07 23:28
schestowitzEven with Gogle pluginsJul 07 23:28
DrPizzaMinceR: nopeJul 07 23:28
schestowitzAnd OMG those PATENTS FROM GOOGLE!!!!Jul 07 23:28
schestowitzDoes that change their story then?Jul 07 23:29
schestowitzYour talking points, as per your Ars article, are sources from RedmondJul 07 23:29
_GoblinRight I'm off..... Jul 07 23:29
schestowitzWell, Redmond now supports webm in their canvas setJul 07 23:29
DrPizzahuh?Jul 07 23:29
*_Goblin has quit (Quit: Leaving)Jul 07 23:29

schestowitzDrPizza: get over itJul 07 23:30
DrPizzaGet over what?Jul 07 23:30
schestowitzThe party line at Microsoft is that WebM can be implemenyedJul 07 23:30
DrPizzaYour complete inability to make sense?Jul 07 23:30
DrPizza?????????Jul 07 23:30
schestowitzYour instructions may be out of date ;-)Jul 07 23:30
DrPizzahuh?Jul 07 23:30
schestowitzMicrosoft adds webm support to IE in a senseJul 07 23:30
schestowitzWhile you claim it to be so horribleJul 07 23:31
schestowitzGet it now?Jul 07 23:31
schestowitzI know you're confusedJul 07 23:31
DrPizzaIE just uses Media Foundation for its <video> support.Jul 07 23:31
schestowitzYou should beJul 07 23:31
DrPizzaGoogle has released a Media Foundation codec for WebM.Jul 07 23:31
DrPizzaHow do you turn that into Microsoft removing WebM support?Jul 07 23:31
schestowitzI said they add itJul 07 23:31
DrPizzaBut they didn't add it.Jul 07 23:31
DrPizzaGoogle did.Jul 07 23:31
schestowitzAfter the older party line of antagonisingJul 07 23:31
schestowitzThat was just a month of two before your articleJul 07 23:32
schestowitzwhere you rephrase Microosft's talking pointsJul 07 23:32
DrPizzaHuh?Jul 07 23:32
DrPizzaI think you're confused.Jul 07 23:33
DrPizzaIt's Google who removed support for a codec.Jul 07 23:33
DrPizzaNot Microsoft.Jul 07 23:33
DrPizzaGoogle removed H.264 from Chrome.Jul 07 23:33
DrPizzaMicrosoft never removed WebM from anything.Jul 07 23:33
schestowitz"In a March 16 blog post, Dean Hachamovitch, Microsoft’s corporate vice president for Internet Explorer, discussed the HTML5 video format support and encourages users to try out the new WebM capability at the IE Test Drive site."Jul 07 23:33
schestowitz'“With the WebM Project’s release of WebM Components for IE9 (Preview), Windows customers running IE9 can play WebM videos in Web pages,” Hachamovitch said. “IE9 is the only browser today committed to supporting both formats directly.”'Jul 07 23:33
DrPizzaYes...Jul 07 23:33
DrPizzaWebM Project...Jul 07 23:33
DrPizzanot MIcrosoftJul 07 23:33
DrPizzaWebM Project is (primarily) GoogleJul 07 23:33
DrPizzaI'm still confused. How does that constitute Microsoft removing support?Jul 07 23:34

DaemonFCRAND just guarantees what the taxation will beJul 07 23:47
DaemonFCand it doesn't even do thatJul 07 23:47
DaemonFCthere could always be trolls that have patents that are not part of that poolJul 07 23:48
DrPizzaDaemonFC: it doesn't set the level, but it does say that it's got to be "reasonable" (whatever that means) and more importantly, non-discriminatoryJul 07 23:48
DrPizzaDaemonFC: sure, but that's always a riskJul 07 23:48
DrPizzaDaemonFC: that risk applies to WebM, after allJul 07 23:48
DaemonFCwell, if I'm paying $50,000 for a licenseJul 07 23:48
