cool

Let me ask you this...which is worse:
A. The engine on your Lexus freezes up at 160,000 miles instead of 300,000. You take a financial hit and you are forced to buy a Camry this time.
B. You start bleeding during bowel movements. You go to the doctor and get poked, prodded, X-ray'd, biopsied, etc. 3 days later you get a call for a consultation. The doctor informs you that you have advanced colon cancer at 45 years old. You have anywhere from 6 months to 5 years left to live. He tells you it's time to get your house in order because you'll be checking out soon. Chemotherapy starts today.
A friend of mine who was a science and health researcher at the University of Chicago, just died this past year of colon cancer at 42. In the midst of the prime of his life, he said goodbye, and left his wife and child behind, wondering what just hit them.
Why do you brush your teeth? Are your teeth falling out right now? For most of us, we do it so we won't need false teeth and Fixodent down the road...right? We want to be able to eat apples. Hey, I agree with that. Natural teeth are great.
But have you ever seen someone who was forced to endure a colonectomy? Someone who now will be spending the rest of their life carrying a bag around?
Incredibly, this is an area where even the staunchest MD's AGREE with us!! Can you believe it? If they knew you had the greatest colon cleanse in the world, I bet they might even refer people to you. NO, I'm not kidding...
This subject is not even up for debate. It's a proven fact. The problem is, most people are not doing anything about it. Please don't be one of them.

Let's talk stools.
The stool tells you a lot about your colon health. If it's dark brown in color, and it sinks, and it stinks, that's not good. And don't feel bad, that's the way most people are. What you want to see is light brown color, which means it's full of fresh bile from the liver, very mild odor, and a stool that floats. We're talking low-density here folks. The more compaction you have the darker the color and the faster it sinks. Compaction is not good. Also, moving bowels should be SIMPLE. If the veins are popping out of your neck and you feel like your doing the bench press, you NEED to cleanse your colon.
When you do the cleanse, for the first few days....things are a little weird. But you know you're cleansed when you see the above good stuff happening, and you are eliminating at least 2-3 times per day.
Cleansing your colon is a 30-day process. Its also very economical at under $50. You may be very surprised at some of the benefits you will receive besides just losing 1-5 lbs of cr*p from your body and brightening your future health.
People have reported more energy, less allergies, clearing of acne, cessation of migraines, and many other results, not to mention restored regularity. When your body is void of old, poisonous toxins that are constantly being reabsorbed through the colon walls, it can begin to heal again. And when the colon walls are clean, the good nutrients from your food and supplements can be absorbed again. You will be thrilled with the results.
At this point you are either nauseated thinking about what is inside your own colon, or you're ready to do something about cleaning it out.

Mamma look!
I hope all the feedback from the slashdotters got back to Intel. It was a misguided and dare I say non-intelligent decision to remove it. Wi-fi is a part of all things now, and Intel needs to stay with the times. While money could be made from a marketing perspective to release one chip, then release another chip with wi-fi. People would buy both, or buy one and then the other.. People are dumb.
Back to an ADSL chipset? Back to a LCoS HDTV Chipset? The future is encouraging again..well maybe? "I am Intel, believe what I do NOT what I say I will do"
If they knew what they wanted to be doing?
I have yet to see AMD have these poor planning issues (also thinking of those TV chips that could have cut costs for consumers that were cut recently).
Till it's ready to ship then they just "disable" it more worthless marketing hype.
"The next generation of chips are also expect to include 1066MHz frontside bus Intel introduced this week and support 667MHz DDR 2 SDRAM."
Still not as fast as AMD's 1600mhz FSB which has been around a while now. And who cares about quadruple pumped ram when we (AMD fanboys) have 64 bits and DDR4 to playwith!?
Do they mean 802.11a, b, or g? Certainly not 'a', I hope not just 'b'.
I bet they're struggling with heat dissipation and power consumption.
Probably they see that 'g' is commoditized and ripe for inclusion on the motherboard, and that the practical concerns over heat and power will be solved..
sigs, as if you care.
What 802.11 protocols is this going to support?
The article claims Intel's main reasoning for this is to make the PC "...act as a Wi-Fi access point."
Okay, if they're not going to put in the new protocols (ie 802.11n, etc.) what's the point?
Anyone have anymore details?
Anyone noticed that the original story has dissapeared? (The one linked to in the old slashdot story.)

Most Indians support this kind of work environment. They feel that there is nothing wrong with total, unrestrained "competition". So, if a woman has no skills and no job, then she should be a prostitute, according to the Indians. After all, the Indian says, "You need to compete, girl!"
Can I buy some of that pot from you?
I'm still waiting for Intel to put WTF back in their chipsets.
Perhaps it's been delayed until after the RTFA implementation?

Know what I like about atheists? I've yet to meet one that believes God is on their side.
"Insecurity Inside! Now 150% easier to hack!" I've had bad experiences with integrated systems that include everything on the motherboard. Back when, it was so nice to just replace the bad component, and not just the entire bloody motherboard.
If I recall correctly, it was pointed out in the last article along this line that Intel was NOT removing WiFi from their laptop chipsets. The new chipset under developement were to have a built in access point. This is what was being removed. There was NEVER any intention to remove WiFi client support.
no, nothing changed. The original interpretation of Wi-Fi having been "dropped" was a misinterpretation.
The original decision was to remove *soft AP functionality* from the chipset. Not to drop Wi-Fi entirely. Go back and read what was said back then.
Put your Wi-fi in you take your Wi-fi out
you put your Wi-fi in and you shake it all about....
Well,
I don't have anything interesting to say. I just thought that that was a witty subject for someone that might have something clever to say.

Not sure if you're referring to 64-bit processor or 64-bit memory...
Socket 939 uses 128 bits when its in Dual Channel mode, and ALL Athlon 64 systems use DDR1... which is still faster than DDR2.
I hear Intel is integrating WiMAX into a chip to go on the laptop motherboard - and that this chip/core/whatever is also capable of WiFi.
WiFi(b, g) could be viewed as a slightly degraded version of the OFDM/OFDMA PHYs of WiMAX, operating just adjacent to one of WiMAX's several bands, with a somewhat different MAC. So it's easy to do with the same hardware. The DSP has more than enough capacity and runs much the same algorithms, the radio can tune the band, and the MAC logic is related but simpler, and well-debugged. 802.11a isn't that much different either, and also in range of the radio. So once you have working designs for each it's pretty trivial to do both WiMAX and WiFI in the same chip (at least if you're not trying to do them at the same time).
Perhaps this release thrash is related to that.
What I want to know is when WiMAX becomes a standard part of the laptop support chip line.

Still lagging behind apple, who is currently at 1.25 GHz bi-directional bus.
Intel and Broadcom will stop selling Wi-Fi chips in China at the end of May because of an encryption standard being imposed by the Chinese government, as trade tensions between the United States and China heat up.
The Chinese government has passed a law stating that, starting June 1, all Wi-Fi chips sold must comply with the Wired Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure (WAPI) standard. The encryption algorithm was developed in China and is controlled by local Chinese companies.
Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy said Wednesday that while his company and others have looked at the technology, the Santa Clara, Calif., chipmaking giant has not figured out a satisfactory way to incorporate the standard into its existing line of Wi-Fi chips. As a result, Intel will stop offering its Wi-Fi chips in China after the beginning of June, because selling them would be illegal, he said.

>...1600mhz FSB ... 64 bits ... DDR4
We are seriously off topic here, but this sounds very tempting. I hadn't been paying much attention lately to AMD (due to the heat differences which lead to more need for fan noise or extra cooling options), but wow.
So that leads me to wonder... which GNU/Linux or BSD distros have good support for this kind of hardware currently?
Intel decided to put the WiFi back because of flip-flop problems in their systems were resolved.
Sorry - its just monday
So?
Who the fuck is talking about Apple?
Go play with your one button mouse and leave real computing to real computers!
Home netwroking can be a pain the ass. I don't want to open up someone's computer to put in a Wifi card, I hate USB devices that really should be PCI devices. I love when a laptop has the Wifi built in. What is the drawback? $10 more for a new computer is well worth it when you don't have to go to the parts store, get a Wifi NIC, install it, troubleshoot it, and maintain it. That makes sense to me.

http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/bayeux.htm I think this is foreshadowing some kinda tech war... Intel invades AMD's corporate offices? More on this story as it unfolds...
Who cares? Their firmware isn't even free enough to be redistributed in binary form making it unsuitable for use any any o/s but Windows.
For those that don't know, Intel's current dual-Xeon chipsets (E7520 and E7525) share a single 800MHz front side bus between both CPUs. AMD's Athlon MP platform has had dual, independent front side buses since 2001.

Where's the 'ANY' key? I see Esk, Kitarl, and Pig-Up...
AMD's bus runs at 1600mhz, but its only 16-bits wide! (and technically the fsb on the Athlon 64 is only 400mhz, as thats the width of the memory link...The system bus is 1600mhz) Intel's FSB runs at 800 (and soon 1066) and its 64-bits wide.
Intel support Linux. They took longer to release drivers to support it, but actually there is support on at least 3 Intel chipset (Intel 2100, Intel 2200BG, Intel 2915ABG).v ers
Check drivers homepage:

NetBSD?
