Voted the official slashdot car by CmdrTaco and his butt-buddy goatse, this car makes a bold statement by presenting true american luxury in a world filled with rice-rockets.

Pre-order yours today and goatse will install an 8-track player with genuine, single-dashboard-speaker mono sound. He will also enlarge your exhaust pipe to unearthly proportions at no additional cost.

Saddam's luxury car destroyed by troops by Anonymous Coward · 2003-03-25 06:57 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Saddam's luxury automobile was obliterated by a cluster bomb dropped by allied forces. Iraq is furious at this blatant destruction of Iraq's premier technological advancement...

But if they're trying to tie the hands of hardware hackers, then Intel is shooting themselves in the foot, and AMD has just got a big win on a forfeit.
Oooh yeaaah, I'm pretty sure Intel execs will commite suicide when they loose 10k processor sales worldwide because some nerdy geeks who are already buying AMD anyway (mostly because they think that AMD is a poor little renegade, a victim, the brand for people against the big guys) are not going to buy their brand new processors.

:-P
