I've often wondered about the costs of/. to a site are. We have to remember that bandwidth DOES cost money at most server farms. If a server farm is hosting a site that was/.ed, and other accounts are affected (other than the one that was targeted by/.), what happens?
Your not off topic, and your probbably right about Intel being one of the most profitable business of all time. But we must remember that 10 years ago, if it wasn't 'Intel Inside', it was a Mac.
Maybe me saying 'taken down' was exessive, but you have to admit, they (Intel) lost significant amount of market share recently. Just look at mainstreams like Gateway and Compaq who offered AMD.
I'm an Intel kinda guy, but I have to give credit to where it is due. AMD did a who lot more than just make a kicken proc. Thier executive board was a joke 5 years ago, and now it has been cleaned up, and streamlined. WinChip couldn't do it, Transmeta (even with more hype than ginger/Segway) couldn't do it, but AMD some how did.
As we saw with Intel just a few years ago, the big monopoly CAN be taken down. If there is a better product (ie Linux) at a better price, it can take over the market. I don't have to remind you of which processor has the best performance right now.
