Seriously... When will people learn to distinguish between genes and religion? Oh, and let's not forget language: Muslims don't necessarily speak Arabic and some non-Muslims speak Arabic or a language that stems from it (I'm thinking about Maltese for that last one).
I'm fine with remakes, as long as they have something new in them. It can be anything ranging from a new area to a new character or a new class. And no, graphics aren't something new to me. I expect the remake to sport new graphics, unlike Tales of Phantasia's remake on the GBA (which looked worse than the SNES version).
I simply don't understand how you can equate a high version number to quality. To me, it just means it's a software that was created before the ones that sport lower numbers.
Well, we could always have memory right on the motherboard, à la Sideport. Of course, more memory, such as 512 MB of GDDR5, would be better than today's Sideport memory's specifications (which is 1333 MHz DDR3, I think). But anyway, comparing HD 6xxx integrated GPUs to their non-integrated counterparts, I find the memory bandwidth not to be so bad.
Any sub €60 graphics card I can buy comes with, at best, 1333-1400 MHz DDR3 memory anyway...
Dammit, how senile of me — I keep forgetting the obvious. I conducted those tests under Windows Seven. I tried Mozilla's hardware acceleration test once under Ubuntu, but I can't remember what the result was.
Let's run that webGL test now... (Screen resolution is 1680 x 1050, if that matters.)
Firefox
- 50: ~38 FPS
- 100: ~37 FPS
- 250: 28 - 34 FPS FPS
- 500: ~26 FPS
- 1000: ~18 FPS
Chrome
- 50: 47 - 60 FPS
- 100: 43 - 60 FPS (almost always 60, sometimes dips to 43)
- 250: ~57 FPS (weird, I know)
- 500: 44 FPS
- 1000: 35FPS
All graphical options were on. I initially wanted to run the above tests with my CPU at 1 GHz, but since Chrome will automatically bump up my CPU clock, I had to set my CPU to maximum performance mode with Firefox for the results to be fair. Raising my GPU clocks yielded no gains at all.
There's no HTML5 hardware acceleration either. At least not on my machine (Athlon X2 5600+, nVidia 8800GTS 640), which stutters in every HTML5 speed tests I've run under Chrome. Firefox, on the other hand, runs those tests just fine.
I once saw a TV report about that practice. The prisoners basically had to work, unless they wanted to eat stuff that tastes like shit. They didn't earn much, but it was enough to make their stay comfortable enough.
If prisons can be profitable businesses, why not? And that way, the former prisoners can at least say they've been working during the x previous years they've just spent in prison. Maybe it's slave labor, but it's still better than having them scratch their backs while free citizens keep on paying for their trip in the carceral universe.
Technically, it went from GF104 to GF114, but yeah, it got pretty much the same treatment: newer revision with SPs, TMUs and ROPs remaining the same, plus higher clocks.
What's your laptop's model name? Also, what OS are you running on that machine? The FireGL V5700 being based on the HD 3650M, it could be possible to mod the drivers for them to work on your computer.
I've just had a quick look at the nVidia GPU comparison page over at wikipedia, and the NVS 140M sports the infamous G86M chip, which was known to be faulty. You remember all the flak nVidia got due to the 8400M/8600M fiasco, don't you?

Apple's philosophy forces people like me to buy new hardware to stay up-to-date (since 10.6, 10.7 won't run on my too-slow Mac).
Or you can install a Linux distro on said machine. (Not agreeing with Apple's philosophy here; just stating a fact.)

Gah, meant "sowing." This is what I get for clicking "Submit" before thinking.

Replying to myself here.
Firefox 5.0 gets higher FPS overall, though there is not that much of a difference with 1000 fish.

How very underwhelming.
I fail to see how an unmoderated comment can be overrated. Maybe I have no sense of humor?

Can't wait to blast Vortigaunts again.
Now, now, don't tell me you've never heard of nVidia's "The Way It's Meant To Be Renamed." ;)
Damn, forgot to use html for the quotes. Oh well.

Makes me wanna say: Whoop-de-fucking-doo.

Bah, the GTX 560M is just a refresh of the GTX 460M. It sports the GF116 chip instead of the GF106 and has got higher clocks, but that's all. *shrugs*

After all, we still talk about vocal cords even though they're actually muscular folds, and as such should be called vocal folds.
What about half-orcs? Wait, what about trolls? No, wait... what about gnomes?
Besides, classes are mixed with races. A half-elf can be a fighter, a cleric or a mage. That list doesn't make sense to me.
It seems that word and excel are sort of like Zerox and google now and describe the concept of a word processor more then the program to some.
Aah, metonymy, metonymy... How I loathe thee.
With just two clicks on the navigation bar, you can re-enable the "File/Edit" etc toolbar and place tabs under the navigation bar.
Beat me to it. It all goes back to "Hear ye, hear ye," of course.
