    I don't get your Whoosh.

    EPIC's game was Unreal Tournament and EPIC haven't made Steam and Valves games would be Half-Life or Counter strike in this regard and their engine being Source so what's the whoosh really?

    The whoosh would be that there already existed moddable FPS games? That doesn't make much sense either.

    Stupid AC.

  11. Re:going to be terrible on Sony Announces Virtual Reality Headset For PS4 · · Score: 1

    Also wasn't the idea that the current gen would use 60 fps?

    Maybe not / maybe that depends.

    May it be that PS3 and 360 is 30 FPS and current gen more often 60 FPS and as you say more often around 1080p for the PS4 and less for the Xbox One.

    As far as performance go I know a lot of people say that the design choices have limited performance and hence they can't get there wherever there it but the thing is that since they are designed as they are they can also take advantage of future evolution of the hardware so what say the next Playstation will be seven years from now? Why can't it just have a refresh in like 1-1,5 years time with a quicker APU but remain compatible with the old one?

  13. Re:Stability & performance Features on Firefox 28 Arrives With VP9 Video Decoding, HTML5 Volume Controls · · Score: 1

    Right now I have Chrome running and tab outliner say 280 tabs.

    This machine only have 8 GB of RAM but the idea was to get a new one with 32 GB and as such I have 16 GB of swap allocated on the HDD. Once it reach 5-6 GB the machine get awfully slow though so the 50% recommendation (Linux partitioning) is likely good.

    I like Firefox but I use to kill -9 it to free up RAM and if necessary be able to go back later by using restore (eventually it will stop saving such info though, I have no idea why.)

    The thing with Chrome (unstable) as I run now is that either some tab died or I killed it and I got that message about bla bla killed or ran out of memory. But you had a reloadbutton to get back!

    Awesome. So now I run chrome and when the machine starts trashing I run top and sort after memory usage and kill a bunch of chrome threads and back my memory comes and I can keep on running.

    Sure the tabs belonging to processes I killed will unload but it's no worse than just reloading them later.

    So that would be my recommendation for you I guess :)
