Indeed, it is so troubling that other big companies in the information business are at peril, he said.
"Eighth-hand, I was told that Rupert Murdoch was frightened about the control Microsoft might have in getting to various sites, and if Rupert Murdoch is scared, I'm scared."
I love how everyone and their companies deem Microsoft the bad guy but would switch places with them in a heartbeat.
Sorry for placing you in such a bind. On one hand, I'm sticking up for AMD, which is good because Intel sucks. But on the other hand I'm dissing Linux a bit, which is bad because Microsoft is evil.
Don't blame AMD entirely. They acknowledged the bug back in September of 2000 and immediately released patches for Windows 2000. Consequently, it doesn't affect users of Windows XP either. It's been around for over a year and now it's "news"? This should've been fixed in the Linux kernel months ago. Sorry for sounding so harsh.

Thanks, Eric! And in other news, Microsoft announced that they are to rename Windows 98 "Windows Diana". They expect that it too will be superficially attractive, consume lots of resources and crash horribly. (from http://members.ozemail.com.au/~lbrash/msjokes/)

I think, unfortunately, some people around here are probably wrongly assuming that all of us "losers" who read Slashdot have little or no social life, and, henceforth, the only entertainment we get is watching sci-fi and hot chick movies. Therefore, they probably think the movie reviews are pertinent information.
More news you can use on the @home front.

(Thats not much more than dialup) Also, they have now capped Usenet news access. What am I paying 50 dollars a month for again? More info on usenet here.

From EA:
The demo will contain one of the eleven huge maps that will ship with the full retail version on January 22, 2002. You can choose the type of model that you want to be in the game, including Axis military models, and select from 14 different weapons including the Browning Automatic Riffle, Bazookas and the Colt.45.
So, you didn't play more than one map and your opinion probably can't be trusted.

That's the best name he could think of for the acronym 'WOZ'? I mean, there are so many other choices:
World Of Zippers
Watch Out, Zacharius
World Otter eZtablishment
Oh, nevermind...
GASP! Now they're only worth $20 trillion.
I know that Cisco gives good deals to many places (my University is one of them, I believe...we may have even gotten the hardware at very low cost).
