Harkids writes "AnandTech posted a sweet article about a recent trip to AMD's newest chip manufacturing plant, Fab 30 in Dresden, Germany. The article is more than just a walk around the building; it includes juicy details of AMD's microprocessor manufacturing process, innovations, and even has some Hammer info in it. A good read if you are interested in CPUs or simply what AMD has up their sleeve."

Another reason why AMD is better by Anonymous Coward · 2003-01-15 01:26 · Score: -1, Offtopic

their FABs are in countries with good labour and quality practices. Not the junk most Asian countries spit out with sweat-shop labour. Does your computer have slave-labour inside?
My job by Amsterdam+Vallon · 2003-01-15 01:28 · Score: 0, Offtopic

I'm the senior Information Technology (IT) chairman for the state of Maryland's public schools from grades K through 12.

We plan on harnessing these new fabrications from the AMD chip maker and using them in all Web, file, and multimedia servers, as well as in every desktop on every desk in every school in Maryland.

Kudos to AMD for keeping up with the Intels and the Microsofts.

I must need more coffee - I was very interested in what this post said because I thought the subject was annoucing that "chipmunks were vulnerable"

I'm not sure if that is a sign of my compassion or some strange sexual deviency (sp?) on my part.

Operation Ore by Anonymous Coward · 2003-01-15 01:54 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Ok, so this anti-child-porn legislation, it's just arresting people for having their cc details submitted on this site, right?
Cos some teacher at a local school just got arrested, named on regional news, and suspended from his job, as part of this operation. That means his career is ruined, as we all know what angry mothers do when they hear someone might be a child abuser. No trial yet.
So, I just want to confirm, for the sake of British justice, that this happens just because of one credit card number being entered on a honeypot site? Is it that easy for me to ruin's someone life these days?
(cos I'm in a position which gives me access to a whole list of clients' cc numbers, and I am rather worried by how easily I [or anyone in a similar position to me] could ruin their lives)
