New Transmeta Chip: "Efficeon"
ddtstudio writes "Oh, "Astro" was such a friendly name -- but it probably had trademark issues. So the alphabet blender came up with "Efficeon" instead. This eWeek story gives the lowdown on what Transmeta is doing apres Linus. There's also a writeup on ExtremeTech."
Somebody's got to support this place. I block all ads. I'd rather read the occasional troll than ads. Thinking about it, maybe Taco's on to a business modem here ! Troll-funded internet web sites ! When's the IPO ?
how many Godless corepirate felons does it take to bankrupt a phonIE payper liesense companIE? back to remedial math for 'adults' eye gas.
funnIE huh?
you can anticipate all you want. our advise is to be as far away from the walking dead contingent as possible, when the big flash occurs. you wouldn't want to get any of that evile on you.
as to the free unlimited energy plan, as the lights come up, more&more folks will stop being misled into sucking up more&more of the infant killing barrolls of crudeness, & learn that it's more than ok to use newclear power generated by natural (hydro, solar, etc...)methods. of course more information about not wasting anything/behaving less frivolously is bound to show up, here&there.
cyphering how many babies it costs for a barroll of crudeness, we've decided to cut back, a lot, on wasteful things like giving monIE to felons, to help them destroy the planet/population.
no matter. the #1 task is planet/population rescue. the lights are coming up. we're in crisis mode. you can help.
the unlimited power (such as has never been seen before) is freely available to all, with the possible exception of the aforementioned walking dead.
consult with/trust in yOUR creator. more breathing. vote with yOUR wallet. seek others of non-aggressive intentions/behaviours. that's the spirit, moving you.
pay no heed/monIE to the greed/fear based walking dead.
each harmed innocent carries with it a bad toll. it will be repaid by you/us. the Godless felons will not be available to make reparations.
pay attention. that's definitely affordable, plus you might develop skills which could prevent you from being misled any further by phonIE ?pr? ?firm? generated misinformation.
good work so far. there's still much to be done. see you there. tell 'em robbIE.
the rest of the wwworld is laughing/crying at/for US in sympathy/disgust, as we fall/jump into the daze of the georgewellian corepirate nazi life0cide, whilst criticizing their ip gangsters, which are also members of the walking dead.
as for va lairIE's patentdead PostBlock(tm) devise, a 'product' of the SourceForgerIE(tm) hedgemonIE no DOWt, it just doesn't work.
Shit. That is all you are mao-che-mihn. I shit on your face, in your mouth and rip open a cavity in your belly to shit in there too. I also force feed feces into your circulatory system. I will use a hypodermic syringe to inject even more feces into your scrota. The final indignity will be when I rip your head open to fill your head with yet more foul smelling bolus and find that it's already full of it. Apparently your mother mistook anal excreta for a baby.
Linus is dead, you insensitive clod!

Two-in-one ID theft, fee fraud scam debuts
By John Leyden
Posted: 12/08/2003 at 16:19 GMT
Scam artists who dupe users into revealing sensitive financial information have applied the social engineering tricks of 419-fraudsters in a new email scam.
Reg readers forwarded us copies of an email they received this morning, purporting to come from US-based e-payment company Swiftpay International, which informs targeted individuals that they have 'won a prize'.
Punters are told an administrative fee has been deducted from the supposed goodies (sounds familiar) and it's implied that further fees will be levied by anyone who fails to enter their debit card details to receive the non-existent money.
By mid-afternoon (in Europe) the site had been pulled.
"Unlike most spams, this is not just annoying, it seems to be a fairly sophisticated attempt at identity theft," writes one Reg reader who'd received the email.
Indeed, the scam seems to combine advanced fee fraud tactics with a ruse designed to get people to hand over their financial information.
The email (copy below) first tells its target that they have a $976.40 payment waiting to be deposited in their bank account, but to receive the money they first need to be signed up as an account holder with Swiftpay.
As an added incentive, it is claimed that they've deducted $23.40 from the account already.
"Following the URL they provide leads to http://www.swiftpay.us/signup/ which is a quite sophisticated and realistic-looking website for a PayPal-style company," our correspondent said.
"The first page of the signup process requests details such as name and address, date of birth, Social Security Number and mother's maiden name. Further pages ask for a bank account number, credit card details (including the 3-digit security code from the back of the card), and ATM PIN number," he added.
The scam is nothing if not ambitious.
Our correspondent (who was shrewd enough not to be taken in by the scam) adds that despite what it claims on the Web site, none of this info would be sent over a secure connection.
"This (to me) appears to be a simple case of attempted identity theft, although it's been very well executed and made to look very realistic," he adds.
We quizzed a couple of scam experts, Andrew Goodwill of Early Warning and Graham Cluley of Sophos, which maintains a database on hoax emails. Both said if something looks too good to be true then it normally is. Users should be wary of strangers offering them money out of the blue for no particular reason, a hallmark of email scams. (R)
