Or use D and help us make D better. It's like a C++ with more powerful abstractions (do you like the auto keyword? it started in D) and similar performance to C++.

IMHExperience, Java is much faster than C++ when it does heap object instantiation.

C++ new and the underlying malloc are just not as good as Java new.

However, if you can allocate your objects in the stack (or avoid using new/malloc in some other way), C++ really shines, and Java simply can't compete.

About everything else that's not memory allocation, yes, C++ seems to be a bit faster than Java, for the normal interpreted vs compiled reasons.

Minecraft has (internal) rules, and you can lose (die) therefore it is a game.

The goal is not to lose.

Now will you argue that Tetris is not a game?

That's not a problem at all.

Some people are willing to pay top money for top performance. Extreme 2500x1600 something resolutions require this kind of cards.

I think you should use one of those performance/price charts, where the 6750 or something similar has the top score in value, as I in fact do.

Also, I only play in a 1080p TV, so I don't really need more performance than a 6770 provides.

We are in a very different market segment than the guys who buy a GF 580.

Really, even IE 9 is faster in JS than Firefox.

They HAVE to increase performance.

Currently the leaders are Opera and Chrome.

He never deserved it.

But I can judge a game by the quality of the other games made by the same company.

'tank rush' ?

You surely are thinking of C&C, definitely not of Starcraft.

A bunch of cheap zerlings will stop any tanks only rush very easily.

My reason to not to buy it now is Steam:

I'm used to the low prices of steam sales, and I have a huge collection of games I still need to play.

Workstation being the key word there.

nVidia had some extremely bad mobile chipsets and mobile video cards when the 8800GT reigned on the desktops.

By bad I mean that the solder stopped working after some time.

It still haunts them today.

Lady Gaga is a manufactured star.

The difference being in that she manufactured herself. That girl is a marketing genius beyond anybody else.

Bullshit.

There are too many Open Source browsers already.

They have the quality already. The only thing they need is to market their work better.

I'm talking about the Peacekeeper benchmark in my PC:

Opera is faster using ONE processor in a dual core setup.

Chrome not only is not faster than Opera 10.60, it uses BOTH processors without giving any real benefit for the wasted electricity.

YMMV.

PHP does not have an stable sort.

In fact, stable sorts are discouraged by most languages, by virtue of not being as fast as other sorts.

But when you need to apply several sorts to the same data (and it is faster to do it in PHP than in the DB layer), you need a stable sort.

Then it means that you are part of a very dangerous demographic in terms of video games influence.

So, we need to sterilize you in order to fix society a little.
