Now that I think of it, this should also inject new life into this debate." Defender2000 points to the Yahoo article. Update: 08/14 09:30 PM by T : Original headline was wrong, said ".4FPS" but as cxreg pointed out, .4 frame per second isn't .4 seconds per frame. Sorry.

    "4/10s of a frame per second means you can do just over 2 frames per second."

    Wouldn't it be 4/10s of a second per frame means you can do just over 2 frames per second?

    Jesus! We do math good at slashdot.

    4/10s of a frame per second means you can do just over 2 frames per second.

    God damn. People go to college and come out knowing this much about math?

  3. .4 FPS? by JesseL · · Score: 2, Redundant

    .4 FPS != 4/10 second per frame.
