Do objects (or parts of objects) outside of the camera view add complexity
to the render?  For instance, assuming your jet cockpit or whatever, if
you rendered it in every frame along with the scene, would the render have
to take the entire jet object into its calculations during the render?

I don't think so. Just what the camera sees. Just lower the polygon
count and watch it speed up.

Can you implement copy-on-select in a Mac?  If not, then the workflow
would not be as streamlined as X11's select/middle-click process for
copy/paste.

No, it does not. If you are running KDE, for example.
You even have the latest clipboard after a reboot then

Gnome/Unity have the same capabilities

Why are you always that utterly wrong about computing things, Mr "IT 
specialist"?

Between terminals?  From other apps to a terminal?

One button for copy after text is selected, I assume.

How?

The primary selection gets lost, but I haven't seen clipboard contents
get lost (i.e., copy/paste with select/right-click->copy).  Also, if you
need the primary, and for some reason you need to close the app before
pasting, you can use xcb and keep it.

It's amazing how incompetent you are (unable to resize windows), and how 
much you whine about the tiniest things.

How come you don't whine about your inability to make a living with 
"New"/Linux?

It's amazing how you are compelled to defend Microshit
against all evidence and reason.

But this time there is NO denying.  Microshit fails
in a H-U-U-U-G-E way.

Any highly creative and productive person will copy
and paste hundreds of times per day and this "tiny"
issue quickly becomes a BIG, GIGANTIC, HUMONGOUS
problem.  GNU/Linux provides a smooth and natural
interface that facilitates such activity, but Microshit
gives only that clunky UI that actually IMPEDES
the copy/paste operation.

Notice how the GNU/Linux UI grants complete control
over ALL window behaviors, whereas Microshit locks
the user into a single clunky and junky framework.

To a do-nothing like you it's a "tiny" issue, but to
a CREATIVE and PRODUCTIVE person it make a TREMENDOUS
difference.

The dumb-fuck shill loses again.  Now watch as he invents
some inane defense to obscure the ugly reality that is
Microshit.

A creative and productive person would automate that kind of manual 
drudgery on day one.

As a brainless GuhNoo CLI flunky, you're lost unless you have a piece of 
crap like CoolEdit in front of you.

You do NOT qualify.

Therefore, shut the fuck up and return to your Microshit

If you were creative you wouldn't accept a Windows job.

If you were productive you wouldn't accept a Linux job.

Where you live M-F 8-5.

Hey, is it the Windows money or the Windows work you like the most? 
Probably the money; "advocates" always go for the MS money.

Like the founder of Gentoo - he went to work for Microsoft.  You would, 
too, if the money was right.

Fabtard, GNU is pronounced, "gah noo."
Otherwise, awesome video.  Funny as hell.

With this transcript, you can enjoy the spoken eloquence of a drunk, 
medicated, 12-year-old Linux advocate.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK OK good evening ladies and gentlemen
Welcome back to "New Linux The Power Thereof"
This time we're gonna take a look at essential tasks.
And this time we shall see beyond all doubt, with extreme clarity,
just how fucking superior New Linux is compared to Microsoft Windows

This time we're gonna do an extremely simple task, extremely simple but 
very, very important.  We have two windows here, that we've positioned 
like this so they overlap, and it's our our job to to transfer some 
information over from this window to this window by first selecting it - 
selecting something in this window and then pasting it over there.  And 
uh something else here we'll just select, and we'll paste.  Verrryyy 
quickly, very simple, very smooth, very natural

Now, let me just say that what I've just done is FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE to 
do on Microsoft Windows.  FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE.  For one thing, after you 
select something in this window, you then have to do something like 
Ctrl+C or something to uh copy it and then you have to go over here and 
do a Ctrl+V to paste.  when when.  You don't have to do that with Linux, 
you don't have to do that.  Just just select with the mouse, and then 
middle-mouse button here to paste.  Very simple.

But that's not the important thing, really.  The important thing is, 
here, that if you did try, if you tried to do this with with Microsoft 
Windows, after you got your your windows all lined up, ya know, if you 
went to this window here on the left and clicked with the mouse what 
would happen would be this... it would do, it would focus the window and 
raise it... and now you can select it and you can copy it, but then, now 
you gotta go back over here and you gotta raise this fuckin' window, and 
it it's been you know it's been obliterated all that time then you then 
you guh then you go back over here and same thing. See?  It just. You know.

Whereas with Linux it doesn't do it. (mumble) it stays.  It stays that 
way... until you tell it otherwise.  Until you tell it otherwise it 
stays that way.  IT STAYS THAT WAY.  IT STAYS UNDER.  IT STAYS FUCKING 
UNDER UNTIL YOU TELL IT NOT TO.  But with Windows, nope, soon as you 
click in there "oop dere it goes!" you obliterate you know (mumbling) 
back over here and gotta do the same fucking thing over here.  FUCKIN' 
FUCKIN' SHIT!  WHAT IS THIS SHIT?  STAY DOWN THERE!  STAY DOWN THERE 
WHERE I PUT YOU FIRST TIME!  STAY DOWN THERE WHERE I PUT YOU THE FIRST 
GODDAMN FUCKIN' TIME!  But no, it doesn't do it.  Doesn't fucking do it. 
   Because Microsoft is a piece of fucking shit!  A simple task like 
this?  Very smoooth, very very fucking smooth, no problem, no fuckin' 
problem.  Just copy, copy all you fuckin' want.  They stay, they stay 
(mumble) where you put 'em.  With Microsoft they can be jumpin' like 
that, jumpin' back and forth like a (mumble).  It's it's really 
annoying.  It's DISTRACTING, annoying, DISTRACTING, annoying.  Make me 
fuckin' wanna SCREAM!

No sorry, sorry.  When it comes to essential tasks... New Linux has the 
power.  And only New Linux.  So all you Microsoft users and all you 
Microsoft supporters... all we can say to you... is this... FAHCK YOU! 
FAHCK YOU!

Be a real man for Christ's sake... for the first time in your life be a 
REAL FUCKIN' man... use New Linux... always.

Oh, my. And I thought Snit's videos were a laugh riot.

"Fabian" simply has to be a troll.

Where can I find New Linux? I'm tired of Old Linux.

No doubt.  Never was a doubt.

He's an angry weirdo with delusions that Linux and Islam will both "gain 
global ascendancy".

He also hopes to get laid before he dies.

Linux already has, just not on the desktop GUI based OS. As for Islam:
