In Windows, I can have all kinds of Firefox tabs open, and switch between them while one is loading. In the latest Ubuntu (and all other versions of Linux that I have tried), I cannot do this. Firefox is far less responsive in Linux than in Windows. Even scrolling on a page with a lot of text can lag Firefox in Linux. In Windows this doesn't happen. There are also other apps where this is the case. Can anyone explain why this is? I haven't found a good answer on this.
It's 2004. In 1993 Nintendo released Super Mario All Stars. You would think you'd be paying less in 2004 for these games than in 1993. That is not the case! In 2004 Mario Bros. 2 and Mario Bros. 3 on GBA cost the same price ($60) as Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3 and Lost Levels in Mario All Stars did.
You gotta love Nintendo.
