Slashdot Mirror

I feel it's a good move by Intel to lower chip cost at this time, with new announcements from AMD and IDT coming this year. They're just trying to remain competitive.

It remains to be seen exactly how versatile Transmeta can be with their product; I don't think there is anything holding them back from becoming an excellent desktop cpu, as well as being used in the mobile arena.

What I'm particularily looking forward to are more annoucements from Be Inc., regarding their R5 release. But, that's off-topic, so I'll refrain.

Looking at both companies in direct comparison, we see that they can provide a user experience on both the desktop and mobile platforms. I see no reason to believe that Intel is going to sit back and let Transmeta come into the market, without at least a little bit of active prodding.

That I can understand. What I don't wish to see is Intel using it's clout to completely push and smother Transmeta into a corner, or out of the picture entirely.

We need competition.

Hope this clears things up a bit.

We'll gladly accept help over at OVP if you'd like to volunteer your time and effort.

We've wanted to do a linux announcement section for a while now, just are short staffed to really do anthing about it. Would it be worthwhile to create a submission section so that users could post what's new in this field?

If so, please let us know. Thanks for your time.

It's these kinds of things that The Optical Valley Project hope to do for the community.

We'll be providing a mirror of that list on OVP sometime today (when one of the web monkeys finishes his recess), and hopefully, this could be the start of a worthy project to follow up on.

A previous poster mentioned that when he attempted to do any work on an Alpha port, he had to search high and low for each bug before starting. I think that would also help in this case, to specify for which platform each of the bug(s) affect.

Anyone interested in getting free hosting with OVP, and is willing to do work for the community, please contact us.

Thanks for your time.

I'd like to add www.opticalvalley.com to the list.

We're looking forward to the slashdot effect. Never been tested that heavy yet, so bring on da noise!

You'll find more then just the link on the front page of the site. We're also trying to recruit people to volunteer their time. We know how important your time is, so if anyone does volunteer, you will be greatly appreciated.

Adios, amigos.
