Everyone in my clan has changed their minds on this purchase. We can't run our own dedicated servers now. We run 2 CoD4 servers (one FFA & other one TDM). Long before I joined the clan I played on these two because of the good ping I got, and because I like the regulars on there + the admins were cool. It's this sort of community that is being shattered by this move. I'll stick with MW and WaW for now.

I so wish I had modpoints for you, but I don't. Instead I'll just say thanks and I agree.

That's odd, 'cause I just I'm using FF 3.5.3 and I just loaded GM's site just fine (although with all that flash too forever to load. :( ugh! I hate flash.)

Safari is blazing fast on Snow Leopard. Makes me want to switch off of Firefox - almost. I'm rather attached to some of my FF plug-ins. We'll see....

Safari on Snow Leopard is damn quick... I'm thinking about dumping Firefox in favor of it (and if you knew me well, you'd be shocked, as I use FF _everywhere_ and am pretty much attached to it).

Once developers start using GCD for their applications, you'll start noticing significant improvements in performance.

Shoot, I already noticed the difference on my 2.5 yr old Mac Pro (1.1). First boot on 10.6 and I was like "wow, feels like a new machine again". All of the bundled apps have been recompiled (64 bit) and cleaned up (and apparently take advantage of GCD everywhere possible). I really didn't think I would see that much of a difference with 10.6 and really only upgraded because I could for $29 (I mean at that price, why not right?) I am very happy with my $29 purchase thus far. I've only had to work through a couple app incompatibilities (and as I have been able to work around them just fine, I am happy.) This is of course just my experience thus far with 10.6. I have no hard benchmark numbers for you. But I noticed right away the smoothness it brought to my older Mac Pro. And it was an easier upgrade than going from 10.4 --> 10.5.

Tasteless yet hilarious. Two thumbs up! :D

I second that. It's happened to me before as well.

I agree completely. We've got two SANs at work... the older one is full of U320 10k RPM drives and the new SAN is all 15k RPM SAS drives. The new SAN leaves the old one in the dust (and has 20TB more space, too! :D).

The Call of Duty series has plenty of players online using the PC versions. Just watch, when Diablo III is released, it will sell like hotcakes. :) PC gaming is still alive, but the # of titles worth playing has dropped to a handful, IMO. But when a worthy game is released it does sell well.

Side note: I don't buy anything published by Electronic Arts (that's both PC and console).

Huh? The Call of Duty series on PC is alive and well. Plenty of players online for all of the versions currently sold in stores. I personally play Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: World at War on a regular basis.
