AMD Could Profit from Buffer-Overflow Protection

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday February 23, 2004 @07:31AM from the brimming-moneybags dept.

spin2cool writes "New Scientist has an article about how AMD and Intel are planning on releasing new consumer chips with built-in buffer-overflow protection. Apparently AMD's chips will make it to market first, though, which some analysts think could give AMD an advantage as the next round of chips are released. The question will be whether their PR department can spin this into a big enough story to sell to the Average Joe."

There are no spelling mistakes. There's one period missing. Technically, one sentence could be punctuated differently. What's your point? You're the one who typed "talk" two times in a row.

That reminds me of the time I fucked a goat. I kept pumping and pumping... then... it was so good... and I was so into it... then... I was losing control... she took me places I've never been... and then... BUFFER OVERFLOW!!! I was like, God damn, I have sperm everywhere and the goat is about to crap. If only I had planned a little better I could have finished with a facial shot. Maybe I should review what happened, and call a meeting of the international goat fuckers group. Gosh darn it, peer review is what I need, because this kind of thing never happens in India.

All I know about Bush is I had a job when Clinton was president.

Thank Clinton for your lack of a job then, as it was his economic policies that caused you to lose it.

Economic state does not typically change overnight (although it can in very extreme situations). It usually takes at least a year (most times more time) to move the economy. Considering that the USA economy started going bad within a few months of when Bush took office, the groundwork for the economic change was put into place during Clinton's administration. Somewhat related is the economic theory "the fool in the shower".
