Yeah, but PTX doesn't give texture or sampler values an sRGB mode either. Are you sure the driver doesn't just convert the texture when glTex(Sub)Image* is called?

Is the sRGB-to-linear transformation actually done in the GPU's texturing hardware? nVidia's PTX ISA at least doesn't expose any sRGB-specific sampling opcodes.

An introduction really shouldn't encourage things like "for (var i = 0, item; item = a[i]; i++)". Someone's going to cut-and-paste that because it looks cute, and their code will break when their array suddenly needs to contain null values.

"But the place for such experimentation is in the lab." That's a silly, elitist statement. No matter how much testing you do in the lab, the ultimate test is in the hands of end users. Lots of dumb WIMP UI ideas, like modal dialogs, MDI win

The Northwest needs jobs, not parasites further inflating its real estate market. How about you move some companies up there too?
