Intel Updates vPro Platform and Features
MojoKid writes "Intel's has certified the Core 2 Duo E6550, E6750, and E6850 processors for vPro, and is releasing the new low-power Q35 Express chipset with a companion ICH9-DO Southbridge, and 82566DM Gigabit Network controller. With these new chispets and technologies, the vPro platform offers next-generation Intel Active Management Technology, enhanced Intel Virtualization Technology, and Intel Trusted Execution Technology (aka Intel TXT). vPro also supports next-generation management standards like WS-MAN and DASH (draft 1.0 spec) and v1.2 of the Trusted Platform Module. Intel has plans to provide continual updates to the vPro platform and will likely enhance vPro further after the launch of their 'Montevina' platform in the first half on 2008."
Corrected those capitals for you ;)
Anyway, it's great that the Finnish grammar forces certain things. Otherwise we'd have crap like TeliaSonera, TietoEnator, Sampo Pankki... oh, wait..
Escher was the first MC and Giger invented the HR department.
Yes I understand it is k00l to toss away grammar and write 1337 :) but that should be left to IRC chats and such. And if I'm being pedantic vPro can't be written at all if you are following grammatic rules since proper names must start with capital letter.
I strongly detest spoken language in books also even if it's in conversations. I tried to read Harry Potter in english and I couldn't figure out what the heck characters were talking about from time to time!
Dang! My nick name starts with a non-capital letter :)
You don't know what you don't know.
Yes, you are absolutely right. They are crap :P
You don't know what you don't know.
Those Finnish books must be quite boring if they don't contain any spoken language - how do the characters communicate? ;)
I think a lot of non-Brits have problems with Harry Potter as it uses a lot of Briticisms. My fiancee runs a website to help fanfiction authors improve their writing (and some of them need help - a lot of help!) and one of the main issues tends to be Americans getting confused by the Briticisms, or asking what the British way of doing/saying something would be.
Also, if you've got a person of 11-16 (depending on the book and the character) talking and it's based in a time period 'around now' then it makes sense they talk in a similar way to a British teen. Okay, so you wouldn't want it spoken as badly as some children, but given that Hogwarts is approaching an Eton-esque public school in terms of students and teaching techniques then it makes sense that they're a bit better educated and spoken.
Alice in Wonderland, Chapter 1:
"...what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?"
