Intel's Anti-Overclocking Technology Simplified
John Thorensen writes "Found a fantastic article on Intel's recent Anti-Overclocking patent at Fastsilicon.com. Worth the read, as it also explains some of the technical and ethical issues of overclocking. Good to see that some tech journalists can still write material understandable by an average person."

Does it get any better?

Man... you beat by 2 minutes. It was already crawling when I was trying to access it. Now I just have to wait to get my post modded down as redundant.

/. editors would at least be UNDERSTANDABLE
This is a little unfair. Their views might be a little backasswards sometimes, BUT by turning on spell/grammar check, your fellow

Stupid moderators - this is a link to the infamous goatse.cx link.
The text itself may be easy to understand, but it's certainly not easy to read. That site has a nice design and good artwork, but is totally fucking unreadable. The text is basically the same color as the background, and the background is a fucking image. There is no contrast, and the font is very small.
I copied and pasted the first part into a text editor just to check it out, then I bailed on the site because I didn't want to put up with that shit. Then I read of the article as posted in the comments here.
Pretty good article; too bad nobody can see it!
FURTHERMORE, i feel that ANYONE WHO IS NOT ME can pretty much GET FUCKED!!!

It all started the day I walked in on my daughter shaving her pussy...
'Daddy, I'm going to take a shower!'
'Alright, honey.'
It was an ordinary quiet Sunday evening, just me and my daughter. My wife had left us when Shannon was just 3 and had run off to "discover herself". I haven't heard from her since. Neither has the rest of her family. My values are important to me. Among them is that of family and I wanted Shannon's to be as normal as possible, so I made sure we stayed in contact with both my extended family and my now-ex-wife's.
Clarice and I had married young, fresh out of college when we were both 23. We had both just finished nursing school; Clarice went on to become an OR nurse and I worked with the elderly in an old folks home just down the street from our small, but cozy, Spanish-style home. She became pregnant after only a couple months of marriage when a condom broke.
I have dated only a couple times since she left, but have never really been into the dating scene, preferring to spend my time raising my little girl. I think she's developed into a fine young woman; in fact, she looks just like her mother did at her age, 18: tall, slim and athletic with fairly large tits for her years.
As I haven't dated, I've had to deal with my sexual needs in various ways, going as far as buying all sorts of toys, from cock rings to butt plugs to a large latex doll. It wasn't the same as a loving wife, but at least I didn't walk around with blue balls 24/7.
It had been 15 minutes and I still hadn't heard the shower go on, which worried me somewhat because Shannon usually took rather quick showers.
I went down the hall to where the main bathroom was and tapped on the door. There was no answer, so I gently creaked open the door. What I saw changed my life forever: there, sitting on the counter, facing the mirror was my sweet little Shannon shaving her young cunt. My dick quickly grew in my pants. I stepped away before she could notice me and I continued on down the hall to my bedroom, where I beat-off to a picture of a young bare-cunted woman.
After that experience, I knew I wanted my daughter. It was horrible, but after all these years of abstinence, a man was bound to burst sometime.
A few weeks later, the same story... Shannon went up to take her Sunday-evening shower. After about ten minutes and still no sound of a shower, I crept down the hall and peeked through the crack in the bathroom door. Sure enough, there she was concentrating on her juicy little cunny. I wasn't going to let the opportunity pass up this time, so I mustered up all my courage and stepped into the room.
'Need a hand with that sweetie?'
Shannon shrieked and spun around, dropping her razor in the sink full of water. She desperately tried to cover her beautiful naked body with her hands, but to no avail.
'Daddy... I... uh...'
'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you. You know... you really are turning out to be a beautiful young woman.'
'Huh??...'
'Here, let me help.'
Shannon looked quite shocked as I grabbed the shaving gel from the counter and applied some to my fingertips then lathered it onto her puffy young pussy lips.
'Relax, hun, it'll make it easier.'
She only seemed to be more stunned and apparently was at a loss for words as I fished the razor out of the sink. She gently parted her creamy white thighs for me as I reached out and gently started to shave her little cunny.
'Open up a little wider, honey, so I can get right in there.'
As she opened her legs wider, I could see she was leaking sweet nectar and I was very tempted to lap it up, but resisted, knowing that would push her away.
I finished off leaving just a little tuft on her mons the way I liked it.
'There, my sexy little girl... yo
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered *BSD community when IDC confirmed that *BSD market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time FreeBSD developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
Fact: *BSD is dying
