OpenGL 3.0, GLSL 1.30 Specifications Released
,----[ Quote ]
| From SIGGRAPH 2008, one of the premiere computers graphics conferences, the
| Khronos Group has announced the release of the OpenGL 3.0 API specification
| and the GLSL 1.30 shading language specification. This is the first major
| update to this cross-platform 3D programming API since the OpenGL 2.1 release
| two years ago. In this article we have a bit of information on these OpenGL
| and GLSL updates and when we can expect to see the Linux graphics scene
| moving to this new standard.

| We tested the new NSS stuff on various popular [32-bit] Linux distributions

Flash Uses The GPU
,----[ Quote ]
| A much clamored-for feature (right after native 64-bit, wmode/transparency,
| and V4L2) is Flash GPU (graphical processing unit) acceleration, sometimes
| founded in a belief that it's a magic solution for making things fast without
| any side effects or ill consequences. I just wanted to make it known that the
| Adobe Flash Player is GPU accelerated,

Where is 64-bit Linux support for Flash Player?
,----[ Quote ]
| From what I’ve heard it works fairly well on most distros but I haven’t heard
| yet how well it works with the new Flash Player 10 beta. Despite this
| potential workaround eventually Adobe does need to natively support 64-bit
| Linux - and they will.

Flash Player 10: Dazzling Effects, Better Performance, Runs on Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Once piece of welcome news is that Adobe is releasing the Flash Player 10
| beta for all major platforms — Windows, Mac and Linux. Adobe has even upped
| the Linux ante with a new installer specially tailored for Ubuntu users.
| Barclay says that Adobe considers Linux a major platform and will continue to
| make all Flash releases simultaneous across platforms.

Using Adobe Flash and other 32-bit applications on 64-bit Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| 64-bit computing is as prevalent today as multicore computing. Almost any new
| processor from Intel or AMD has the AMD long mode extensions, allowing the
| processor to use 64-bit registers. While 32-bit processors can address 4
| gigabytes of RAM, a 64-bit processor can address 16 exabytes, or almost 17.2
| billion gigabytes, of RAM. Most 64-bit-capable computers aren't making use of
| these capabilities, but instead are put to work running 32-bit operating
| systems, usually because of a lack of applications for 64-bit operating
| systems, since applications must be recompiled and in some cases rewritten
| for 64-bit operation. It is possible, however, to run 32-bit Linux binaries
| natively under 64-bit Linux kernels.

Why There is Better Driver Support in 64-bit Linux Than 64-bit Windows XP
,----[ Quote ]
| In the free world of Linux I have a working, usable, fast
| and stable 64-bit operating system. In the secret world of
| Microsoft I will have to return to using the 32-bit version.
| But the question is will I? I think I will stick with Linux.
| It looks like I need to go back on my hands and knees and beg
| forgiveness from my SUSE 10.1 system for every doubting it
| and for my unfaithful fling with Microsoft.
