And they must have been pretty determined to spell it out, with all the legalese you see here, so I doubt it was an accident.
Here's the text as it is still live on their site:
Prohibited and Permissible Uses: Except as may otherwise be specifically permitted or prohibited for select data plans, data sessions may be conducted only for the following purposes: (i) Internet browsing; (ii) email; and (iii) intranet access (including access to corporate intranets, email, and individual productivity applications like customer relationship management, sales force, and field service automation). While most common uses for Intranet browsing, email and intranet access are permitted by your data plan, there are certain uses that cause extreme network capacity issues and interference with the network and are therefore prohibited. Examples of prohibited uses include, without limitation, the following: (i) server devices or host computer applications, including, but not limited to, Web camera posts or broadcasts, automatic data feeds, automated machine-to-machine connections or peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing; (ii) as a substitute or backup for private lines, landlines or full-time or dedicated data connections; (iii) "auto-responders," "cancel-bots," or similar automated or manual routines which generate excessive amounts of net traffic, or which disrupt net user groups or email use by others; (iv) "spam" or unsolicited commercial or bulk email (or activities that have the effect of facilitating unsolicited commercial email or unsolicited bulk email); (v) any activity that adversely affects the ability of other people or systems to use either AT&T's wireless services or other parties' Internet-based resources, including "denial of service" (DoS) attacks against another network host or individual user; (vi) accessing, or attempting to access without authority, the accounts of others, or to penetrate, or attempt to penetrate, security measures of AT&T's wireless network or another entity's network or systems; (vii) software or other devices that maintain continuous active Internet connections when a computer's connection would otherwise be idle or any "keep alive" functions, unless they adhere to AT&T's data retry requirements, which may be changed from time to time. This means, by way of example only, that checking email, surfing the Internet, downloading legally acquired songs, and/or visiting corporate intranets is permitted, but downloading movies using P2P file sharing services, web broadcasting, and/or for the operation of servers, telemetry devices and/or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition devices is prohibited. Furthermore, plans(unless specifically designated for tethering usage) cannot be used for any applications that tether the device (through use of, including without limitation, connection kits, other phone/PDA-to computer accessories, Bluetooth® or any other wireless technology) to Personal Computers (including without limitation, laptops), or other equipment for any purpose. Accordingly, AT&T reserves the right to (i) deny, disconnect, modify and/or terminate Service, without notice, to anyone it believes is using the Service in any manner prohibited or whose usage adversely impacts its wireless network or service levels or hinders access to its wireless network, including without limitation, after a significant period of inactivity or after sessions of excessive usage and (ii) otherwise protect its wireless network from harm, compromised capacity or degradation in performance, which may impact legitimate data flows. You may not send solicitations to AT&T's wireless subscribers without their consent. You may not use the Services other than as intended by AT&T and applicable law. Plans are for individual, non-commercial use only and are not for resale. AT&T may, but is not required to, monitor your compliance, or the compliance of other subscribers, with AT&T's terms, conditions, or policies.
Perhaps, in your opinion but take a look at the text of the post and then the post on my "blog"... (it's not a blog by the way). The text is the same, exactly.
We're a news and reviews site that has been on the net for over 10 years - well before the word blog was hip.
"Cinebench is perhaps our most favorite "quick and dirty" test for gauging how fast a new CPU core is. If you're looking for a general quick-take view of system performance and CPU power, Cinebench consistently gives results that we rely on here in our labs. In the multi-threaded version of our this test, the QX9770 is 63% faster than the Phenom 9700. And with only a 33% clock speed advantage over the new Phenom, obviously the new Intel core is significantly more efficient clock-for-clock with a higher IPC (instructions per clock cycle) throughput."
"The fastest single processor for gaming from the AMD side of the house, generally speaking according to these two tests, is the Athlon 64 X2 6400+. Again, that's according to the game engines at work in Crysis and F.E.A.R. The fastest processor of Intel's offering is obviously the QX9770, which looks to be 6 - 8% faster than its 3GHz counterpart, the QX9650. In general though, the AMD systems are easily outperformed by the Intel-based setups, in some cases by a large margin."
Not sure why the slashdot editor stripped out the links to the full version of the article but none of the full sized images don't work in it when you click the thumbnails.
HotHardware also has a
full
review up right here. They were able to take the new quad-core up to
over 3.7GHz and show power consumption numbers for all the high end chips as
well.
Uh no, you're wrong. Correct, the third X16 slot has a X8 electrical connection BUT it's a full length X16 slot, mechanically, just like the post says.
Hi, I'm the author of this post and unfortunately those words were edited. I did not enter the words "single-handedly". My post was "almost seemingly invented the SFF PC"... which is about right. At least they introduced it to the mainstream in a significantly more retail consumer friendly product offering.
FTA - "Throughout all of our in-game and synthetic testing the fastest of the
three new mainstream Radeon HD 2000 series cards we tested in this article, the
Radeon HD 2600 XT, performed about on par with or sometimes well behind a
GeForce 8600 GT. The more affordable Radeon 2600 Pro came in a few percentage
points behind the 2600 XT, and as expected the 2400 XT fell in behind the 2600
Pro.
We also spent some time testing the AVIVO HD video engine in these new cards
with a few SD and HD workloads, but weren't able to compile all of the data in
time for launch. We will be updating this article in the next day or so, with
the results from our AVIVO HD testing as well. "
And both posts have links to stories that actually DO exactly what they say. They have more analysis on TWO very different stories. READ the damn text of the post, not just the titles.
Nice language too. Very mature. Get a life.
NVIDIA also launched a new enthusiast line of motherboard chipsets today in support of Intel's Core 2 Duo/Quad and AMD Athlon 64 processors.
NVIDIA's nForce 680i SLI and nForce 680a SLI motherboard chipsets will also allow a pair of GeForce 8800 series graphics cards to run in tandem for nearly double the performance. The new chipset also offers a ton of integrated features, like Gigabit Ethernet Link Teaming, FirstPacket traffic priortization and MediaShield RAID technologies.
NVIDIA has officially launched their new high-end 3D Graphics card that has
full support for DX10 and Shader Model 4.0.
The GeForce 8800 series is fully tested and showcased at HotHardware and its
performance is nothing short of impressive. With up to 128 Stream
Processors under its hood, up to 86GB/s of memory bandwidth at its disposal and
comprised of a whopping 681 million transistors, it's no wonder
the new GPU rips up the benchmarks like no tomorrow. NVIDIA is also

HotHardware has some pretty extensive coverage of the platform and new Phenoms as well. There's a lot fewer pages to sift through and more data on performance.
Yeah, it's something in the Slashdot code that breaks it. Try pasting the text of the URL into a browser and it should work. Sorry!
