The Near Future of Intel

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the very-specific-crystal-ball dept.

wh0pper wrote to mention a Design Technica story about the near-term future of Intel. They've been getting beaten in the press pretty soundly by AMD of late, and at the Intel Developer's Forum they did their best to convince attendees they were on the comeback trail. From the article: "It wouldn't be IDF if there wasn't a solid performance message. This time, Intel clearly had AMD in their sights. By a series of their products' massive performance improvements, Intel hit the ball back into AMD's court. With Microsoft's Vista operating system coming out at the same time, Intel showed how they have the higher performing solution. Clearly, we won't know until final systems ship. But Intel presented their case strongly, suggesting they can match AMD, if not beat them."

    Hello, I am the CIO at a medium sized consulting firm in Miami, and while reviewing logs I've found as of late, a huge increase of traffic to this site, especially to this thread. I am new-in-position and trying to get some smart practices in place. As of tonight I'll be removing all of Slashdot's DNS entries from my servers, and be re-directing and visitors to Human Resources, it will be a final warning if anyone so much as tries to access this webpage.

    Also, I've seen an increase of attempted Tor usage; I have a list of Tor IP addresses and block them, along with monitoring anyone who tries to use it. Although attempted Tor usage isn't directed at HR...yet, the people who try and use it are watched very closely. It gives people a false sense of Security most don't know there real IP's can be traced from it.

    Now, for some personal comments. I've seen a LOT of anti-DRM stuff on this site, and it boggles my mind how self professed "nerds" are anti-DRM, it is the wave of the future, and I don't see how something the assures the artists gets paid for his or her work can be continually bashed on this site. I don't get the Anti-Microsoft stuff either; I mandate Windows in my workplace because multiple tests have shown it cheaper to run then Linux. Plus I've made thousands off MS stock in the past few months. Your whole privacy rants are horrid as well, the only people who argue for privacy are pedophiles, if your not doing anything wrong then what do you care who glances at your stuff? Also, what's up with the 7-Bit ASCII? What Is this? The 90's?

    Huh. I always thought it was arbitrary moderation and unfounded flame wars.
