I'm sorry did I say your money _or_ your life?
Oh I'm terribly sorry I meant your money _and_ your life!
Not the most accurate but it's what I can remember for now!

Is it just me or does just about everything on that demo seem entirely pointless?
Why would anyone ever need a rotating button?
but I haven't decided yet how useful it will be.
I'm finding it's good for speeding up little things, like conversions, and exact values I might like.
Yesterday on
That's the first it's been handy for me, if I remember to use it for things like that I can see it being quite the time saver!
I'd agree with this.
I've suprised myself in the early hours of the night, even if I'm pretty tired if everyone is in bed and the place is silent I tend to get a lot done.
I wonder if they _sorted_ it themselves..
you will always get German search results preferred
http://google.com/ncr seems to block it forwarding you to a country website, at least that's what I use if I want to use
Alternatively you could log in and set your country to America?
I think that would work anyway, the cookies from gooogle.de shouldn't work on
No it's a common saying, you're not meant to take it liter.... oh
Is it me or has the number of comments of an article been taken off the beta index?!
I for one am not happy with this!
Going back to the original, hmph.
To keep on topic, yeah it's a little silly
Well I wouldn't say "perfectly"
It would break under strict mode
Depends who you ask I guess
I guess you could pull down an old version and modify the version number in the extention,
I beleive that would stop it updating as it would think it was a later version.
Oh god my eyes, what is th.. AHHH
Note to self: NEVER use bright yellow as a background colour
I'd imagine you could maybe combine them into a video and play it over a few minutes?
Regardless it would be good if you need a high quality indavidual frame of something, I'd imagine
Yes, it is. Of course, all sorts of other things might contribute. Upgrades to the kernel, GNOME, major applications, the compiler, or even changes to compiler flags used could have helped.
Well then this isn't specific to Ubuntu at all then? Any distro that recently upgraded to 2.6.29 and the 1.6 Xorg will be experiencing the same benefits?
Are you aware of any good objective measure of interface "snappiness"?
No I guess not,
But if the article writer had at least put some hypothesis into why the "snappiness" had increased it would have been a much better read, for me anyway, I guess I can agree that the user experienced speed improvements can be of some benefit.
So basically this isn't actually any kind of real test?
"oh this feels faster, shiny!"
What upgrades has ubuntu had to X that may have made it faster? Is it using Xorg 1.6 or something?
I'd prefer evidence to a random user's sense of responsiveness
