Transmeta Closing Up Shop
Ashutosh Lotlikar wrote to mention an article on the Business 2.0 site stating that chip producer Transmeta is going out of business. From the article: "The company's Crusoe family of microprocessors promised lower power consumption and heat generation, enabling the creation of laptops with longer battery life. Critics bashed the chips for being underpowered compared with Intel's latest and greatest. Transmeta struggled to find a market, and recently it sold off most of its chipmaking business for $15 million to Culturecom Holdings, a Hong Kong company better known for publishing comic books."
I'm on the page about the Transmeta story, but I keep seeing all these posts about shredders and personal information -- which appear to come from a different story, as the replies make no sense in the Transmeta context. Is /. broken?

No, it's called crapflooding.
This happens every once in a while...tons of misplaced comments, and all that stuff is always Anonymous Coward.
As was said somewhere else in a sibling of your post, it's crapflooding - in this case, automated reposting of older replies.
Yet somehow making life miserable for normal people hasn't affected crap flooders upset with the slashdot abuses.
The solution isn't ip banning or reading blurry letters from images. The solution is a more active involvement by the "editors". Check the stories (less crap). Read the slashdot frontpages (less dupes). Have a story devoted just for bitching and complaining once a month (and read the comments).
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Ahh you mean Cingular has all of ATT's GSM towers in its aresenal now. Cingular also has the edge network in 90 percent of the locations. I can do 115k to my laptop. And actually I live in Florida and in a rural area. And Cing GSM works fine. All depends where you are. Florida has a lot backwoods. 75% of Cings customer base is also GSM. The GSM migration begain with the Gaine phones three years ago. And since the average life of a cell phone is 2 years, most people have GSM. I might also have a little more insight due to having worked for most cell carriers.

Maybe they set the mammoth hair on fire.
But seriously, unlike elephants which will stomp out small fires in the veldt, maybe fire scared mammoths (because their hair could light) and thus fire could be used to herd them into a trap where they could be killed easily.
I'll have my mammoth stake medium rare.
