AMD Announces New Low-End Processor Line

beaverbrother points out these articles at CoolTechZone and PC Magazine, writing "AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) is slated to launch a new Sempron line of processors this summer, to compete with Intel's Celeron line. The processors are designed to perform basic tasks, such as word processing, and more advanced tasks, like playing video, with ease."

Oh... You're one of those wackos...

Flattery will get you nowhere.

Your computer is broadcasting an IP address!

Perhaps you don't understand what "broadcast" means. "Broadcast" infers that the information is sent out for any and all to access. My system doesn't "broadcast" anything. My IP is available, but only to the people that I choose. I can and do use my firewalls (hardware and software) to isolate myself from certain parties. Whenever I choose I can refresh my DHCP information and get a new IP address. The processor ID served no useful purpose.

Even if you have no such concerns, many of us are concerned with controlling who has access to our information.
