nVidia/AMD Merger Announced

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the good-for-both-parties dept.

zombieking noted that AMD is merging with nVidia. The new company will be called AmVidia, and will be using non-MS operating systems exclusively to get around the problems they've been having with getting support from tier one OEMs.

    Having used all 5 mod points on other posts begging for a halt, here's my own.

    I remember when there was a prank or two on the Net and everyone got a good laugh out of it. But every site cranking out tedious joke after tedious joke -- enough already. Of course, I'm speaking to the audience that thinks recursive acronym project names and cutesy-stupid Gnome release names are funny.

    Remember the post from "Linus" to the LKML demanding that the free software community practice better personal hygiene? That's the sort of thing I want to be seeing.

    Whatever happened to Shoeboy anyway?

    "Oh I can't stand April Fool's Day, boo hoo!"

    Oh get over it dudes. It's all in fun. Just enjoy it! Seriously. Besides, if any real news did break today, how many of you'd say "oh it's just an April Fool's Joke."

    I can't believe how many whiners we have today. Never mind that somebody's trying to mae you laugh. Oohh no. No you'd prefer hearing about technology that won't affect us for years, anything that's anti-MS, and how Linux makes some minor improvement that should really have happened years ago.

    Give me a break. "I'm going to whine about April Fools." Weenie.
