ATI Wins Bid For Next Xbox
TypoNAM writes "CNET News is reporting that graphics chip underdog ATI Technologies has signed a contract with Microsoft to produce components for future versions of the Xbox game console, beating out market leader Nvidia." According to the article, "The announcement ends months of speculation over whether Nvidia, the leading maker of graphics processors for PCs, would renew its troubled partnership with Microsoft on the Xbox."
One must wonder if the people that run ATi are the types waiting around for a wifebeater to divorce his current wife so they can get in line to be next.
Bush - Cunt
Remember: no matter how powerful the system is or how pretty the graphics are, the games are what make the system great. If Microsoft can't pull in good games, their new console will die fairly quickly.
Goo goo g'joob.
Yes this is TOTALLY off topic..
While I'm sure you wont read this being an AC, id love to know why you people dislike Bush with the core of your being.
I understand the nature politics and disagreement with polices, but this has been personal from day one, and I really don't understand
why.
And no, I don't want a bunch of mindless name calling, ranting or bashing. I want a RATIONAL coherent answer, if there actually is one..

evile. unprecedented greed/fear based corepirate nazi evile, that is.
.continue to come up on the short end of the FUDgeCycle(tm)
.controll? corepirate nazis? pharmaceuticals?
it's a thankless job, but there's never any payper liesense subscription fees. soon there'll be quiet in the air (as opposed to the thunderous noise of the georgewellian fuddite life0cide machines).
that's right. the absolutely free methods to improve yOUR condition include use of those time tested elements, oxygen, & water.
hard to believe that something so simple/cost effective, could improve yOUR ability to participate in the planet/population rescue program, as well as improving your owned lot, goes unrecognized. you can add/subtract various other stuff for cause&effect, but if you overlook the basics, you/all of us, will
once you get more oxygen on your brain, you'll begin to see the lights coming up. as most of you already know, we're all mostly water, so more of that can't hurt/helps a lot. why aren't these methods to superior health/ability widely known/promoted? can you say monIE? deception?
you're still hiding behind the 8bawl robbIE?
the lights are coming up now.
you can pretend 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.
Hah! Here's a funny story for you. When I was 17, I pointed out nVidia as an up and coming star. I got a loan, for $6000. Bought at $6.22 a share. That's a bunch of shares. Almost a 1000. :(
:(
I wasn't old enough, per SEC, to own stock. So, in my parents name, I purchased the stock. When they found out about it, they sold it and kept the profits and didn't tell me until the end of the fiscal year. I had an outstanding sell order to sell at $50 and would have made over $40,000 if they hadn't sold. Apparently, they hadn't heard from me in a couple days and the stock went down. They assumed I wanted to sell. I didn't.
My parents sold my college education fund
It's only funny now because that was years ago. I was bitter pissed at the time and moved a really long ways away from them.
You can't legislate goodness. Let each to his own destiny, by will of his freely made choices.
