I don't think the FBI was behind this. But I do think this is the typical invalid reaction that only infringes on liberty that the US Gov't seems to make everytime something happens anymore.
Clinton led his crusade to keep honest people as far away from legal firearms as possible after Columbine. The legislation mandated triggerlocks on new firearms sold. Any ideas how exactly triggerlocks would have 'prevented Columbine from happening' which was the purported reason for the legislation touted on the evening news?
"Who cares? The big question is overall performance. Intel made an architectural choice for the future, not for short-term performance gains. The trade-offs that they have made now are going to allow them to grow to much higher clock speeds in the future while AMD has a harder and harder time of it."
Do you own stock in Rambus? or maybe you are an Intel engineer? That is such a stupid, tired argument. A person going to Comps'r'us this afternoon doesn't give a rat's ass that the P4 'will scale to 10Ghz three years from now.' And that certainly won't change that a Athlon 1.4Ghz with DDR memory is faster than the Pentium 4 1.8Ghz with PC800 now.
The AMD Athlon is faster than Intel's Pentium 4 at the same clockspeed. Therefore, a Pentium 4 must be clocked higher to match Athlon's performance. Most people who are buying computers do so largely on three considerations, brand name, MHz, and price.
Being an observant/.er you'll notice that none of those is a form of performance measure. Therefore, unless Intel decides to start using a uniform performance measure of some kind AMD should make a conservative estimate as to how fast their parts are compared to a Pentium 4 as a service to customers who are out there buying based on a deceptive clockspeed number.
That is a simple fact, and when Intel vastly reworks their CPUs to be able to hit superhigh clockspeeds with a signifigantly lower IPC who is really skewing the consumer's traditional performance measure? No one in their right mind would say a 1.4Ghz P4 is a better performer than a 1.4Ghz Athlon.
"As usurpation is the exercise of power which another hath a right to, so tyranny is the exercise of power beyond right, which nobody can have a right to; and this is making use of the power any one has in his hands, not for the good of those who are under it, but for his own private, separate advantage. When the governor, however entitled, makes not the law, but his will, the rule, and his commands and actions are not directed to the preservation of the properties of his people, but the satisfaction of his own ambition, revenge, covetousness, or any other irregular passion."
That is a little exerpt from John Locke's Second Treatise on Government in the "Tyranny" section which is exactly what you are describing. Let's hope Congress extracts its head from corporate asses before we're forced to the final remedy for the situation. (Kind of hard to follow because of the language, but I'm confident/.ers will be able to handle it.)
...to leave a box wide open to exploits? Just one, and his name is listed above. Maybe he and the moron that modded his FUD "insightful" should get together and breed. The world needs a few more microencephalics. Frkn idiots...
FUD? Do you have a faint clue what that means? Since when did McAffee "seal a box up and prevent exploits" btw? It is a fscking antivirus that won't do anything to prevent future gaping holes in IIS or any other part of Windows 2000 from being exploited.
It isn't like someone that can't open Internet Explorer, click Tools > Windows Update and apply some patches that are making national news for two weeks is going to keep AV definitions up to date either. I wonder how your 'briliant' post didn't get modded '-1 Flamebait.'
It still (after what about three years?) has yet to make it into WindowsNT/2000. I don't think MS is going to take this opportunity to update their ICD with all those Professional/CAD-like plane extensions that are rumored to be getting incorporated into DirectX 9.
Yeah, well Fraud is a crime and commercial solicitation through misrepresentation and under false pretenses was fraud last I checked. When was the last time you received spam that was from a valid email address? I abhor Elcomsoft's spamware although in and of itself it isn't by any means illegal, but I also recognize that if we allow the gov't to divide and conquer we'll be in some signifigant trouble.
The difference being that no one is forcing a person to buy Linux when he/she buys a computer regardless of whether or not it'll be used. I can also use a single boxed distro for my entire organization and have speed and security Microsoft has never offered in its Win9x line of OSes. All this without breaking any laws and not having to deal with all eighty new Outlook email viruses that are released every week.
I like this part of the Felten Amended Brief the best: "M. A permanent injunction enjoining enforcement of the DMCA because it is in excess of Congress' enumerated powers." A request to flat out declare the DMCA unconsitutional.
Think of all the legal cases in the past year that would effectively overturn. Damn near every RIAA and MPAA lawsuit there was! Wouldn't it be great to see the RIAA and MPAA put into bankruptcy by countersuits by people who's civil rights were violated by the bastards?
Take a look at the numbers on this graph at Anandtech: http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/chipsets/amd/7 60MP/linux.GIF (copy and paste the link yourselves) that the 2P configurations compiled the kernel even only using 1 thread at about +10% speed of the 1P setups. Now look at the performance of the single threaded 1P version versus the 2P two thread versions. There is a 101% increase in performance. I think we really ought to recognize the guys who contribute to the kernel that have written such efficient multithreading a little more.
Maybe you ought to buy a history book and have a look. The "WHITE MAN" didn't even have the concept of the number zero until he took it from the black, Muslim Moors from Moroco (in Africa) who conquerered much of Spain and held on to it for several hundred years.
I'll assume that you are a "proud" white protestant for a minute and suggest you go read the Old Testament. You might notice somewhere in it, that it is full of jews, and that they lived where Israel is today.
Now, let us move on to the "f--ing jews killed Jesus". Perhaps while you looked in the Old Testament you noticed that the jews were enslaved in Egypt, led out by Moses, and into Israel. Then, they were conquered by just about everybody else, including the Roman Empire. Now, as I'm sure you know, one of Hitler's first moves as Chancellor of Germany was to enact a strict gun control act. He also established military gov'ts in his conquered territories and disarmed citizens in those territories. Well, Hitler took a page right out the Roman's book, as they did the same exact thing more than two thousand years before him. The jewish officials were replaced with Romans, the people were largely disarmed. The jewish leaders handed Jesus over to Pontius Pilate (a Roman). Pilate questioned Jesus and sent him to Herod (another Roman). Herod questioned him further, then had him scourged by Roman centurions and returned to Pilate. Pilate then, at the request of the mob, sent Jesus with his soldiers to be crucified. He was crucified and when dead, a Roman centurion lanced his side. To the victor goes the spoils. The jews were conquered by the Romans. The Romans were running the show. Jesus was executed by Romans, using their traditional method of execution for non-Romans. You can rent the movie Sparticus if you would like to see several more examples of the Roman's methods. But, regardless, the thing that set Christianity apart from other ancient religions was that it emphasized forgiveness. Perhaps after just under 2000 years you ought to give it a try, and maybe even attempt to act and speak like Christ did, like a christian.
Yeah, too bad Aryans have continually proven themselves inferior to just about every other "race" out there. I don't know of any other group to get their asses kicked repeatedly by their "inferiors". WWI, WWII, before even becoming a nation, they were the bitches of Europe for hundreds of years. Probably naturally smaller penises too. Fucking garbage philosphies only followed by the stupidest of the stupid, the bitches of slaves.
First of all, the vast majority of people who are executed are guilty of capital crimes.
Secondly, carrying out due process of law has shit to do with the vigilantism you suggest.
Lastly, try quoting when and where relevant, my post did not even allude to the advocation of vigilantism. As such supporting some argument based on that, using my post, is purely asinine.
If only all of Slashdot would read this ignorant hate-filled post of yours, as you just made the strongest case AGAINST gun control I have ever read. Those jews spat in the face of tyranny and stood with both feet firmly planted in the principles of freedom.

Being an observant
The real speed is far more reliable than some number AMD dreams up because they're pissed off Intel hast faster clock speeds.
So find a single example of a commonly used application running faster on a 1.4Ghz P4 than on a 1.4Ghz Athlon. No? I didn't think so.
Performance = Mhz * Instructions_per_Clock.
That is a simple fact, and when Intel vastly reworks their CPUs to be able to hit superhigh clockspeeds with a signifigantly lower IPC who is really skewing the consumer's traditional performance measure? No one in their right mind would say a 1.4Ghz P4 is a better performer than a 1.4Ghz Athlon.

McAfee wasn't even necessary, just apply the security patch and reboot.
I guess the "how many dozen suits does it take to change a light bulb" applies to using web browsers and rebooting a server?
It still (after what about three years?) has yet to make it into WindowsNT/2000. I don't think MS is going to take this opportunity to update their ICD with all those Professional/CAD-like plane extensions that are rumored to be getting incorporated into DirectX 9.
I'm glad everyone isn't still pissed at the brothers W for using KDE instead of gnome in Swordfish!
internet + binaries + flashable firmware == lots of visuses/worms
