Intel's Answer to AMD's Hammer - Yamhill
bdolan writes: "Today's San Jose Mercury News is reporting that Intel is going to put a 64 bit architecture extension in upcoming Pentiums if it turns out the Itanium doesn't take off. Hmm. Apparently they intend to only turn this on if AMD's 64 bit processor make major inroads against the Itanium architecture. Aren't we glad that competition is keeping everyone on their toes."

Imagine
by John Lennon
Here is my ass
Which you may kiss.
Take time and aim well
You don't want to miss.
For if you aim low
And your lips they do fall
Then you will find
You'll be sucking my balls.
If you aim high
Despite your true heart
Sucks to be you
Now you're eating my fart.
[bridge]
my cunt is a'drippin',
your lips are a'sippin',
my ass is a'crappin',
your mouth is a'lappin'
all that comes out of an oracifce
you eat for a main course-ifice
poop and pee, all a'yummy
Sitting proud inside your tummy!

> ones where the government either mandated a private corporation
.. in fact, it's pretty much the other way around. Companies are successfully changing the laws in our countries, with very little public knowedge.
You display your ignorance here. You're not honouring the reality that since we, the people, have been more than happy to chip away at our goverments' ability and legal powers to mandate, regulate and punish (an idea that seems to make most rabid free-markerers piss thier pants in fear). Even a passing knowledge of the changes in trade laws and treaties over the past 40 years would allow you to comprehend that companies have more legal rights and powers on the international market scenes than governments themselves. It's real. People don't want to believe it, but it's real. Read up on NAFTA. Read up on any of the recent lawsuits being launched against governments world wide by private corperations, both domestic and abroad. The point is, it's harder than ever for a government to actually regulate the market or a company, due to the enormous size of corperations (and thus their economic leverage), and their successful con of the public at large in convincing Joe Blow that the government is a corrupt, antiquated insitution that does nothing but collects taxes and wastes money. In short, there is neither public support nor legal support for governments to control the markets much, even if they wanted to. The MS case is a good example of this. Another good example is of a Canadian company suing Santa Monica for 1.3 billion dollars in punative damanges, because Santa Monica was forced to buy 80 of their drinking water at a cost of 3 million dollars per year becuase this company's unsafe product contaminated dozens of free water wells. The State of California (along with 9 other states) has banned their product, and thus, is being sued for it. See? It's way beyond governments regulating anything right now

Actually, Yahmill is a county in Oregon. A lot of good wines are produced in Yamhill county. Beautiful place for a drive.

Karma Whoring for Dummies:
As my posting history clearly shows, the easiest way to whore karma is with Funny posts. A rehash of old jokes, especially ones related to marketing conventions, is always successful. Don't be too clever, though, or you risk an Offtopic/Flamebait.
If you can't come up with a lame pun, it's also easy to boil someone else's opinion down to a series of points. Bulleted lists are useful here. You will be branded as Insightful and/or Interesting for your efforts. Take care that your opinion is that of the majority, and that it is not really an opinion at all, or your post will be marked Flamebait.
If thinking just isn't your game, do a google search on whatever the topic is, then post the first three or four links you find. Doing so makes you Informative.
People will also insist on wasting moderation points on this, so out comes the +1.
I hope this clears things up.
there's more than one way to do me.
How the hell is baseball a monopoly? PEOPLE WANT TO GO TO THE GAMES. Players get paid a lot because they are damn good, and consumers want to see GOOD players, not XFL morons who can't play like the pros.
*shakes head* I don't understand where all these "monopoly" finger-pointers are getting their information... Get government out of baseball too. If they want to charge $5000 a seat, LET THEM. See if baseball becomes a game only to be viewed by the rich. Guess what? THERE IS NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO GO TO BASEBALL GAMES. If it costs too much, don't go. They still sell out the seats...
*shakes head*
