Immature are the ones that can't control their emotions. If all respect was wiped away for a single line clearly marked as a joke with a smilie, then there wasn't much respect there to begin with.
If someone made a joke about how ATi got pwned (as if that's not happening constantly every day), then I would just laugh, or reply with something witty. In no way would I get all upset and sling crap around for it. Some fanboys just can't take a few jabs for fun against their favourite IVH. That's immature.

It's not that people can't understand a joke, it's about maturity and having class. You work for ATI right? Well, then have some class and act like OpenGL Guy, Catalyst Maker, etc. I've never seen them take jabs at nvidia, even if they have every right and opportunity to do so. Your little joke just wiped away any respect I (and probably a few others) had for you. Not because nv1d1a r0cks!!1 but because whether you like it or not, in public (ie on the forums) you're a representative of ATI and anything you do or say reflects upon ATI

Nice demo, although it is cheating. About texture loads compared to super-buffer, first well aehm excuse me but the super-buffer thing could actually also be done already on a Geforce3 with NV_pixel_data_range, EXT_pixel_buffer_object and EXT_vertex_buffer_object (so nothing really to shit your pants. Although you obviously work at ATi now you still should not try to blend people and at least play a little bit more fair). Besides VS3.0 texture loads are more more more flexible than what you could do with that.

Anyway this is getting a little bit offtopic but I must say all in all I'm slightly disappointed with the X800 marchitecture, as it really seems only a small update compared to the R300 (and the performance increasement I see is just connected to the higher number of pixelpipes and the higher clockspeed), hence even the stupid texture indirection level restriction is still there.

This type of branching has been around for along time. people have used it for over 3 years now. It only works for some situations.

Humus, thanks for your reply about the problem.

And for maturity, I guess there are many ways to say a joke, and there are many jokes to say. A simple smilies can't represent all your subjective mood and tone.
I'm not being immature. I just point out what you think is funny doesn't neccessarily mean it'll be interpreted as a joke of others.

Richteralan,
I never understood what problem you're inquiring about. The posts I saw has been answered already, unless I've missed something.

Regarding maturity, I hope people still are able to interpret smilies correctly. But given the amount of negative feedback I've recieved I'm not so sure about that anymore. The "" is IMHO a pretty obvious sign that it's a joke. I think the people that are unable to see that and get all pissed about it are the ones that are immature.
