AMD Plans Simultaneous Desktop and Mobile Chip Releases

wh173b0y writes "Tom's Hardware reports that AMD is planning to release both it's dual-core desktop and mobile chips at the same time. This news comes after AMD, who have been fairly quiet since the release of the Athlon FX-55, came up shorter than intel on the release dates for it's dual-core processors. Intel on the other hand has been busy planning more than a dozen different chips to release as well as pressing its software designers to embrace its 64-bit architecture."

    Dear Professor Linux:

    I am a young student in a preparatory school in Nancy. I have always posted as an anonymous coward so as to avoid being spotted and put on "the list." You know which list I mean. However, I fell asleep yseterday afternoon while watching ST:TNG reruns and I think I may have missed The Signal. Please, did you hear it? Or should I continue to wait?

    You may have noticed some animosity between Linux users and the rest of the world. This is due to people such as "A nun, he moos coward", mattb, and Sharman. While Linux Torvalds, Alan Coks and others like them are degenerate hackers, at least they produced something. If people like Sharman had not discovered Linux, then they would spend their time making useless sites like this, and this . Strangely enough these people are destroying the very purpose of their disturbed existence, Linux.

    How are they doing this you ask? Most people learn about alternate operating systems through sites such as this one, where Lunatix users spread disinformation. As a result, their expectations are boosted to delusional levels (Linux will make me a kewl leet dood! All my computer problems will be solved! I'll be able to have sex with anyone I want, every night!) instead of more realistic ones. (Half of my hardware will not work. The software will be incomprehensible. I'll probably end up back on Windows.) As a result, when these people finally try Linux, their expectations will be painfully shattered instead of barely met. They will rightly feel that they have been lied to and cheated. Therefore a deep-seeded hatred will develop against Linux and anyone that has anything to do with it. The Linux users' very idiocy is sucking the life out of Linux and other failed but noble projects like it.

    The most efficient method for exposing these people for the total nut jobs that they are is trolling. When these people sincerely state that "installing Linux needs a 5-year plan where you eat steak, like in Soviet Russia" or "Linux is more secure cuz of its 'design'" or "what do you mean Linux is no good for a Fortune 500 company, it runs fine in my basement" it immediately creates no doubt as to their level of their intelligence. Providing enough rope to hang themselves with is the most effective way of flushing them out.

    This is why I propose that a new cabinet under the Department of Homeland Security be created. This cabinet will be called the Troll Taskforce and its primary motto will be "Trolling for Truth!" I nominate the distinguished Rep. Senator Bill Gates (Redmond) to head up this cabinet. His exceptional leadership skills have been more than proven.

    Right on, brother. I don't know how that got modded offtopic. It should have been modded +3, for being the only person with the grammatical certitude to point out that /. can't get a simple thing like that right on the FRONT PAGE. That's embarrassing. Now mod me down offtopic, too!
