That might be the case. But what Intel did was wrong. They already have a leg up when it comes to AMD. (I am an AMD guy *Because I am poor* but I will admit Intel R&D and hardware rocks). Intel did NOT need to bribe OEMS to Delay the release of AMDs units.
The fine was very heavy. Too heavy. But they should still payout.
"...Intel said they will appeal the fine...."
Intel PAID a leading OEM Manufacturer to delay sales of a new AMD CPU model and offered kickback payments for units sold with Intel chips.
Intel deserves to burn in hell!
Just shows that Intel must not have faith in their own silicone if they pay to make sure AMDs dont get released by OEMs. The move was DIRTY and bullshit.
If I can help it I won't EVER by an Intel based anything. So I guess no Mac for me
They are probably changing the key demographic as the old demo is having trouble creating offspring to get into the Trek. Chicks dig a guy who can make sure the home network is working great, but anyone over 13 years old with Star Trek models hung from the ceiling is just a victim of Darwin's theory
J.J. Abrams is resurrecting the corpse known as Star Trek that Rick Berman left behind.
Gene wanted a BOLD Star Trek. Not some horribad drama we have had to watch since TNG.
The new movie is sweet
I would have to say it is the best Star Trek movies yet because it was not just like all the other Star Treks.
It was nice to watch a Star trek movie without it seeming like a 90 minute episode.
Nice musical scores, great directing and camera angles.
I just got off the phone with Shaw Internet Tech here in Calgary.
2 Months ago thay actually did a firmware update to INCREASE torrent performance and to pep up their Powerboost service.
The "Official Call" From the agent I talked to about Packet/Traffic shaping was "... Obviously we are using a form of it to throttle everyday bandwidth of our customers... But not to decrease performance or keep up with loads. Just as a regular bandwidth cap...."
He also pointed out if they were increasing torrent performance with firmware upgrades then that sort of points to Shaw's stance on the issue as "Were are doing the opposite" so to speak.
I have always been happy with Shaw. Any problems with the systems are 99.99% of the time mechanical, and not poor software management.
Lines, taps, drops, fiber can all be replaced. And Shaw usually installs new nodes well before any reach peak capacity. I think they have a 75%-80% rule where they install a new node.
Of course this isn't 100% of the time.
Bravo Shaw!!!

No Hulu or Pandora in Canada. And so, I use the news groups and torrents.
The answer to this might include yet another anti-trust suit

The hardcore basement virgins (see urban dictionary) will be disappointed. But this movie is for all the other people

Sure. But the most amazing thing about this post was that it proves cousin humping inbred Jed can indeed spell.
