I don`t want to be a third nacelle to this discussion here, but my liquid copy of me would like to point out that that was Voyager. No way you say? Yes way I say!

Also I would like to say that I can do wonderful things with vegetables and I am a survival expert that regularly gets people killed. Oh, and everybody loves me. Care to guess who I am?

Not knowing what Reticulated Gap-Toothed Yokel were, a quick google search gave me a link to this http://gingerpubktic.blog128.fc2.com/ site.

As a ginger naturally I felt offended by you providing me with said link.

But when I finally get my revenge when we gingers take over the world due to the revengue collected from the sales of Tori Amos CDs and ginger porn which we continuously put in a big fund, it will be a special pleasure to me to forcing you to carry my umbrella whenever I leave the house in broad daylight.

I would switch if only those stupid developers didn't support the standard "thou must click three times to select everything in the urlbar" debacle with no option to change it. That and the fact that you can't switch the tabbar to the side. Yeah, that one is really very funny with 20+ tabs open.

I have several GB RAM. I don't care if Firefox uses half of that or even more (at the moment it uses less than half a gig with 67 open tabs). Seriously, if you pick up a new laptop for 500+ or a desktop for 100 less you always get at least 4 GB RAM, so unless you start a game that uses very much memory, you don't even have to close the browser. With more and more games only being ports from consoles that only have half a gig of RAM anyway, it is a non-issue.

Comment Tried in in firefox (Score 2, Informative) 363

with linux (kubuntu 10.04 64 bit). Completely froze Firefox 3.6.10pre. While it might be faster on Firefox, you can still use the browser while benchmarking with Chromium. Mozilla seriously needs to give each tab in Firefox it's own process. Try opening an article on slashdot with 300+ comments, while browsing at -1 and using the option that displays all comments. On my Quad Q6600 with 6GB Ram Firefox freezes for almost 20 seconds and is completely useless, unlike Chromium that let's me read other tabs while loading the article.

But developing console-only would leave a big market gap for the PC. Strategic games are a lot more fun with a mouse and a keyboard. Sure, there are ports, but they always look better on the pc if the hardware is good enough. When on the console it is 720p plus 2*AA, on the pc you are only limited by your system. Plus the textures and models are almost always better, since on consoles you are limited to very little memory reserves.
