I have always just used a large heavy duty paper cutter :)
Currently working with non-binary computing, no reason for it... just doing because I can ^^

I usually just razor score it on both sides with a clamp and steel straightedge and then snap it at the score. Pretty easy and clean, and no spiderweb cracking.

I have one of these (http://www.proxxontools.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=60):


I've been quite happy. The guide thingie is kinda shit though, I'd need to replace it with a real linear rail or something though. Currently it has like lots of gap.

I use a small table top band saw for glass with a diamond bandsaw blade. Works good!  :-+

I do the scoring and snapping method most of the time, when it comes to cutting out edges or other shapes I use the jigsaw.
