  1. Re:Heh on Autism-Vax Doc Scandal Was Pharma Business Scam · · Score: 1

    Frankly, people that stupid don't deserve to procreate anyway. I don't advocate child abuse but it is absolutely ridiculously stupid to believe horse shit like "vaccines cause autism" if you have half a brain. Autism is a similar symptom of a myriad of diseases or genetic/developmental abnormalities. To think it has some cause effect relationship with dead bits of virii or proteins is asinine.

    Doctors already do enough whereby they should not be trusted. In my own personal case, having a doctor tell my wife "they will pray for her" rather than try to solve her problem is enough to throw up a red flag for me. Or the fact that they advocate CT scans for things that can be diagnosed by x-ray or ultrasound, or the fact that they don't even bother to prescribe medicines to you you actually know will help you from previous experience. Doctors have a "I know this you don't" attitude that is draconian in light of, uhhh the INTERNET. Sorry for the rant, just wanted to point out that this dude is a dirt bag like many other doctors.

    Sure thing. ATI is a horrible company, they just had some of the top performing hardware released earlier and for cheaper than Nvidia and better drivers recently than Nvidia. Nvidia had to struggle just to release Fermi, and even then at a price hike compared to ATI. You are letting one failure color all your future consideration of AMD/ATI in the portable market and that is just plain stupid especially in light of the fact that its based on a Microsoft problem (i.e. domination of the market with inferior crap software that manufacturers have to cater to since people are stupid and keep buying windows). I have had other not entirely similar problems with Intel on desktops, so should I just swear off Intel because they failed me once even though their i3's i5's and i7's are a generation ahead? I can make purchase decisions based on my income and price/performance which in my opinion AMD wins right now, however if I were to have a need and disposable income for an i7 Id be damn sure to buy one in spite of their failure for me in the past.

    AMD needs a 'push' like the one it gave Intel at the P4 days

    Such as Fusion? I predict a significant increase in AMD's share of laptop and ultraportables market in the near future.

  12. Re:Musical chairs on AMD CEO Dirk Meyer Resigns · · Score: 1

    I don't know where you get your statistics, but AMD does win on price/performance in all but the highest end processors which most people either don't need or can't afford.

  13. Re:AMD CPUs all over the place on AMD CEO Dirk Meyer Resigns · · Score: 1

    We'll see how that all turns out when the Fusion processors come out in laptops soon. I think they will probably take over the laptop market. The desktop market still is going to be Intel dominated unless AMD can push its bulldozer out quicker than they are expected to and sell it at a lower margin.

  14. Re:Dirk Meyer: Engineer who made marketing mistake on AMD CEO Dirk Meyer Resigns · · Score: 1

    AMD doesn't make laptops or netbooks, they make processors. Go Intel if you want to pay twice as much for a moderate increase in performance. Go Nvidia if you want inferior hardware.
