I tried it. It was fun for a while but it gets annoying and it ran pretty slow on my 9600..but I blame ATi.
Pretty neat nonetheless, I think I've stated my feelings about 3D on the desktop before though..we're not ready.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

Stop using words out of context, then. :P
How am I using it out of context?  I think it's neat but I wouldn't use it.  It's no different than someone else saying they like Linux running on their servers but they wouldn't use it at home.

That's a terrible analogy.  It's hugely different.

While that does look pretty neat, I don't like it.

" While that does taste pretty good, I don't think I'll ever eat it. "

Seems pretty analogous.

"England looks pretty nice, but I wouldn't visit it"

You can see something without it actually being physically in front of you, it's called a photograph or screenshot. 

However, you cannot taste something without being there, as far as I know. 

What he said is fine, you just suck at understanding :P

That doesn't seem contradictory to you?  I think I understood it perfectly well.

Since "neat" is not objective (the word "innovative" would've been more appropriate, perhaps), I fail to see any logical reason his sequential opinions should contradict each other.
