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.

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.

Oh no! He watched porn!

Over here (germany) she would have said: Oh no! He ist just like my son!

No, that is not what we germans mean when we say "Meister"... Unless your intention was to say that you are going to drink lots of Meister Proper, a well known cleaning agent around here.

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.

For one thing, cydia has a programm that allows me to reconfigure the volume buttons on my ipod touch to something else, like next song and previous song. There is no such program in the official app store, the last time I checked.

Whenever I unplug a drive and start Kubuntu, it just says that it can't mount one of the drives. Then I have the option to skip mounting that drive and boot or try to mount it manually. Don't know, why that isn't the case with your PC.

I also really liked him als big giant head in 3rd rock from the sun. Between him and John Lithgow, they cranked the overacting up to eleven.

I have an extra control bar for the programs I use the most. That way the links are always available and I don't have to minimize the current program.

Over here in germany we have a rather complex sorting mechanism for trash, but after a while you get used to it. We seperate: Normal trash, duales System Deutschland (dual system germany), which is everything with this http://www.dokublog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/der-gruene-punkt.jpg symbol on it (plastic, tin cans et cetera), paper, glass, ash from burning coal or wood, bulky waste, electronic devices, chemicals and hazardous materials, batteries and in some states tin cans get collected seperately. After a while it's a no brainer and it's a good thing to do for the environment.

Fingerprints are optional (in germany).

Maybe it's just that on average the swedish rape victim is more likely to go to the police and report it. I don't know if this is true, it just is another possible explanation.

I'm probably walking on a limp here, but I'd say you haven't met the Duke Nukem Forever fans yet.
