Posted by timothy on from the more-than-you-can-shake-a-stick-at dept.

Mr.Tweak writes "It has been a long time coming but we are finally reaching the beginning stages of 64-bit mainstream computing. AMD has been the first to bring a 64-bit processor to the market with any true support in the Opteron. VIA is one of the key chipset companies supporting AMD64 and today TweakTown takes a preview look at their new K8T800 chipset with AMD Opteron 242 and 244 processors. 64-bit computing is boarding - don't miss the train!"

  1. SCO WEBSITE HACKED AND DEFACED by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Why hasn't Sla$hdot posted the news that the SCO website has been hacked and defaced by open source script kiddies? I guess if Sla$hdot thinks they don't post it, then it didn't happen.

    Well, it did happen. And now the world can see what kind of childish and immature mentality they are dealing with when it comes to the open sores script kiddies of the world. It surely seems to backup SCO's claims: After all, these kids probably do think stealing code is "ok", just like stealing music is "ok".

      Maybe because no responsible person actually supports the hacking and defacement of websites...maybe slashdot doesnt consider website hacking to be news?

      Although your link you posted didnt actually work.This is actually the correct link

      Of course for all we know you could have been the guilty party yourself trying to self-promote.
      Ok maybe not, but accusing someone of theft when the "victim"

      As for the rest of the article heres an important quote you left out...

      "Raymond, president of the Open Source Initiative advocacy group, urged the hacker, if a member of the open-source community, to stop the attack, because it could do more harm than good.

      "We're the good guys. But that doesn't matter if we aren't *seen* to be the good guys," Raymond wrote in the Sunday posting. "We cannot fight our war using vandalism and trespass and the suppression of speech, or SCO will paint us as crackers and maybe win.""

    Congress' investigative arm says vice president refused to turn over key documents.
    August 25, 2003: 5:47 PM EDT

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Congressional investigators said Monday that Vice President Dick Cheney had stymied their investigation into his energy task force by refusing to turn over key documents.

    The General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of Congress, said it was impossible to tell how much energy companies or industry groups may have influenced the task force's 2001 report because the administration withheld important records.

    "The extent to which submissions from any of these stakeholders were solicited, influenced policy deliberations or were incorporated into the final report is not something that we can determine based on the limited information at our disposal," the GAO said.

    Administration officials did not account for much of the money spent on the task force and could not remember whether anyone took official notes during the 10 Cabinet-level meetings the group held in 2001, the investigators said.

    The report came more than eight months after a federal judge rejected the GAO's demand that the administration turn over task force records.

    Cheney spokeswoman Jennifer Millerwise advised critics to put the dispute behind them. "Now that the courts have dismissed the GAO lawsuit and GAO has issued its final report, we hope that everyone will focus as strongly as the administration has on meeting America's energy needs," she said.
