  7. isn't intel.. on The Celeron Casts Aside Its Crutches · · Score: 1

    isn;t intel coming to the party a little late with this...?

    It was sorta stupid, yet intersting strategy for them to effectively cripple/downgrade their own chips to take over the lower market tier...

    >FSB100Mhz it still has an

    >but the chip is still only talking to the bus at 66Mhz.

    That doesn't seem to be too accurate (but i've been wrong in the past)

    sounds like B.S.

    I mean, I'm sure it's the same damn chips running at 100mhz bus, but is that really a big deal... (remember the celery 366 ->550 Over clock..)

    Can anyone confirm/deny this posters statements?

    PS plus the "fa fa fooey" handle makes me suspect b.s. *Shrug*

  9. treble damage? on GPL'd Code Finds New Home · · Score: 1

  10. hmm... on Diablo2: Apocalypse Now! · · Score: 1

    Isn't a person's D2 character kinda like their intellectual property(in a way) I realise that supposed IP is created within Blizzard's universe and probably EULA'd away... but if you spent hundreds of hours developing a character, do you have any rights to it? Does it get protected as a psuedo property in any sense...?

    More of a rambling than a coherent thought.

    YMMV,

  20. Re:An article from ZDNET on Nintendo Buying Sega? Or Not? · · Score: 1

    That ZDNET article has an interesting spin on it. Why *would* Nintendo want to own Sega? Besides their characters/tm's ,,,

    Apparently Sega has a lot of debt that would dissuade possible suitors.

    ymmv,

    wasn't there just recently an article about bloat in the Linux distro's =) ??? (not that user guides would be bloat... but it would be part of the kitchen sink syndrome)
