I'm like this, and people always look at me strange because of it. I eat my cheeseburgers plain, my hot dogs plain...
And yet, everyone thinks I'm strange (well, I am, but that's another sordid tale) when I order stuff like this! I get the wierdest looks at restaurants. Why should I eat a pile of indefinable goo when I can have this stuff separate, and savor each in their own time (Now I'm getting hungry. Where's those Pringles?)
...the Dilbert characters that keep peeking out behind all the pictures? It's like subliminal advertising or something.
Maybe someone's trying to warn us that this is Big Brother food- there's chemicals in it that enable Scott Adams to track by your urine anytime you use a toilet manufactured after 1996....
(That's a joke, BTW. It's Sunday, that's the best I can do.)
I haven't paid much attention to the RDRAM fiascos (as I already know what my next upgrade is- Dual Celery 466s), but:
So the problem here is really with SDRAM compatibility.
Doesn't anyone see this as BENEFICIAL to RDRAM support? I'll bet Intel takes these chipsets, pulls the SDRAM controller back out of them, and re-releases.
Whammo. They then have an excuse to not support SDRAM. Plus, this makes SDRAM look unreliable (which it's not). Maybe this is part of a plot to push people to RDRAM. I, for one, wouldn't put something like that past the Big I. But then again, I'm notoriously paranoid...
Giordano Bruno (1548-1600), Italian philosopher/scientist and possible conspirator, was burned at the stake in Rome on February 16, 1600. Most historians merely mention that Bruno was charged with the heresy of teaching Copernican astronomy, but Frances Yates, a historian who specialized in the occult aspects of the early scientific revolution, point out the Bruno was charged with 18 heresies and crimes, including the practice of sorcery and organizing secret societies to oppose the Vatican. Yates thinks Bruno may have had a role in the invention of either Rosicrucianism or Freemasonry or both.
Bruno's teachings combined the new science of his time with traditional Cabalistic mysticism. He believed in a universe of infinite space with infinite inhabited planets, and in a kind of dualistic pantheism, in which the divine is incarnate in every part always in conflicting forms that both oppose and support each other. Whatever his link with occult secret societies, he influenced Hegel, Marx, theosophy, James Joyce, Timothy Leary, Discordianism, and Dr. Wilhelm Reich. Me: Discordianism, eh? He couldn't have been all bad...

Huh? Didn't he work with ISDN over at PacificBell? He's not a coder, that's for sure. But don't make it sound like he's completely non-technical!
