    The whole point is that the games doesn't run well in Windows for many. Then again you're just a trolling AC so you won't see this anyway.

  3. Re:Still 3K$ for a monitor on YouTube Goes 4K — and VP9 — At CES · · Score: 1

    Dell is supposed to release a 34" 21:9 3440 x 1440 screen which of course is lower resolution but possibly a more suitable format for movies (then again UHD is likely to be the standard so maybe not) and very nice for say FPS shooters as long as the aspect ratio is supported.

    If the film is filmed in 4K film wouldn't one really want to have that rather than 4K UHD?

    Seem a little weird to shrink the pictures just a little bit.

    Who cares?

    30% non-believers.

    Does that mean 70% believe?

    In that case just let evolution and breeding sort it out until all the non-believers are gone!

    At least earlier you flashed the firmware onto the card, I think that's the case still as people have been tinkering with GeForce 600-series cards trying to make them similar to the 700-series ones as far as clocking goes.

    What I wonder is what really makes it harder / impossible for Nvidia or whomever to do it but works for Intel? If anything.

  15. Re:Ugh on PC Makers Plan Rebellion Against Microsoft At CES · · Score: 1

    The beginning read like it was talking about tablets with attachable keyboards.

    I stopped reading then, so maybe it had more content later ..

    I don't really get the point either, why people would want a tablet with a keyboards when they go serious I do understand. Guess what comes from that is that in tablet form you may actually want to use something designed for that like Android rather than Windows 8 or Windows RT.

  17. Re:Its on Developing Games On and For Linux/SteamOS · · Score: 1

    Ok, so convenience factor or something. I'm fine with that :)

    I just wondered why since I saw how 's was supposed to be used (guess I've been taught that some 20+ years ago too) and see the comments (and usage) every now and then :)

    If yours is just a more comfortable way of typing your's I kinda feel like your's should be accepted and not complained on thought I guess some people may read it wrong in especially it's case.

    Thank you for the reply :)
    Came to think about it over here in Sweden we mostly use "dess" rather than "dens" or "dets" (it) as well, though there seem to be cases where that doesn't work.
    Funny enough our possessive "de" (they) doesn't become des but rather "deras", then again the English word isn't those's either so ..
    Maybe there's some other secret hidden in the world of grammar (a world very scarcely explored by this individual :D) for why it is this way :)

  18. Re:Its on Developing Games On and For Linux/SteamOS · · Score: 1

    I don't get the background story though.

    I know it's = it is.

    And I have used its for everything else.

    But then I checked that apostrophe s stuff and when to use it and it seemed liked the s after words was for multiple of them and 's was for belongings? (fucking annoying thing to do since it make weird characters most of the time.)

    Like AC's comment. Right?

    But if so why the fuck isn't it also used when it is it which something belong to?

    The ball's valve? It's valve? Are both wrong? Is it just some special cases of belongings where one use 's?

  24. Re:Need and numbers on US Spying Costs Boeing Military Jet Deal With Brazil · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that is what I had assumed to.

    On Text-TV with some commentator the text said order 60 new ones so I had to go with what it said.

    I also find the price interesting because those 60 (even more so if they are upgrades) are supposed to cost us 90 billion SEK (google it now and it seems like it says over 30 years ..) whereas these possibly 36 would had been a deal worth over 30 billion SEK.

    Some difference in price there. But maybe we get more of a maintenance and service package of the Swedish planes or it's including financing/interest rates or we simply pay more to help SAAB / have them done and others get a better deal.
