Judge Gives Intel More Time To Find Missing E-mail

narramissic writes "ITworld is reporting that Intel has until April 17 (7 days more than the original deadline of April 10) to 'explain to a judge why it lost e-mail records that could provide proof that the chip maker used anticompetitive practices as alleged by Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD).' According to an order from Vincent Poppiti, the special master hearing negotiations of the case, the court is looking for an accounting of Intel's document preservation problems and a proposal for a better solution for archiving future records."

    Of course GP doesn't think this is the SCO case. They said Intel could try the truth.

    Just route all mail to /dev/null, that solves the problem.

    You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!

    I'll open up my new Core Duo to find a severed human finger in there.

    I wouldn't worry about that too much, it'd probably just be an empty threat to keep you loyal, and have nothing to do with quality. When I switched OS I woke up the next day with a horse's head in the bed next to me, and "WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO TODAY?" written on the wall in blood. AFAICT, it's all perfectly harmless.

    So I think it's about as likely that the email messages in question got "accidentally" deleted as it is that the Chinese embassy in Belgrade was "accidentally" bombed.

    Oh, I can explain that one.
    You see, apparently there was a gross misunderstanding of the commander's lunch order of "Take-out, Chinese".
