Do you know any alternative to SourceForge?
SourceForge allows to host phpBB, Wordpress, MediaWiki, my custom php code, with gigabytes of disk space.
It's not possible to install all this software on Github or Google Code project.
> The homepage of current Wikipedia is overcrowded with display of languages, which overshadows the main functionality–the search area.
The main functionality of wikipedia.org is not search, but showing a list of Wikipedia language editions.
> Rolling over the top right corner reveals more options for languages.
What the hell is this? Why would you use JavaScript dropdown? That's not how websites work. Just look at 99% of websites. They don't require putting mouse over something to view hidden content.
> Quote serves as a felt pen. It can be an easy way to highlight the best parts of an article, just like in text books.
This functionality is better done as a web browser plugin. Because then you can save quotes from other websites too, not only Wikipedia.

Where Research, Edit, Talk buttons disappeared?
> Basically, there are two reasons to visit Wikipedia: to read or to contribute. Reading function is Research and contribution is called Edit.
This layout is bad for reading. Article text starts at half of screen, not at top. On most popular resolutions (1366x768, netbook 1024x600) it's even worse, article text would start at the bottom of screen.
Most of players don't have OpenGL 4.2.
You'll get hundreds of bug reports about game crashing on start.
Testing on old hardware (for <50 000 triangle games it's Intel GMA and Geforce 4 MX and some old Radeon) is a good way to be sure it works on most of computers. Of course game needs to support those old cards only on lowest quality settings.
You are right. OpenGL works everywhere.
But you have to be careful: my amateur OpenGL 3d game had problems running on half of computers, especially laptops. It's because various cards support different opengl extensions. You can't use non-power-of-two textures, can't use textures bigger than 512x512 (or other number), can't generate mipmaps automatically, can't have too big display lists.
I thought about optional DirectX renderer when running on Windows, because I've heard it's more standarized.
If original price is cut by $50, then phones on eBay will become cheaper too.
Look on ebay.
It's not cutting price in half. Non-subsidized price was 400 USD. Now it's 350 USD. Why would you ever mention subsidized price? It depends on carrier and contract details.
