<a href="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm">Sarcasm</a> is the making of remarks intended to mock the person referred to (who is normally the person addressed), a situation or thing. It is often used in a humorous manner and expressed through particular vocal intonations. This is often done by simply over-emphasizing the actual statement, or particular words of it.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm



Harsh form of wit, aimed to wound, which often employs irony.


Yanks and irony = not good.

The topic I believe is your inability to decide for yourself which way you want to move your life


decide for yourself, there aint no quick easy solution


gl is better because - A BC

DX is better because - ABC



The choice of the matter is down to you, research for yourself but if you are asking for a general consensus in which the majority of people would gear themselves towards I think it would be GL

DX is, truth be told, the better choice for Win(32|64) platforms but... OGL is a) cross-platform, and b) much, much easier to learn.

Yea, I love taking a good shit too, but I haven't really been able to come up with more than 4 or 5 different configurations. You must have put a lot of research into the subject. :icon14:
