    It doesn't outlike Rivers very well either.

    Take Great Bend, KS for example. Named for being situated at the side of the great South Easterly turn of the Arkansas River. Looking at the Google Map . . . now where's the river?

    you may come out with dual-cores before AMD, but since your dual-core is a kludge on top of a kludge, I'm guessing AMD will beat you again.

  8. Re:Steam on Yahoo! Sues Xfire For Patent Infringement · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Doubt it, the Friends system could probably be considered an integral part of steam which is also the game client, the patent in question a game and messenger client-server system. So where as Steam does it all in one handy client, the Yahoo patent covers 2 seperate but communicable clients.

    These people should have properly configured their networks if they didn't want people using them.

    So by your logic, if somebody leave's their car unlocked it's legal for me to steal it? After all they should of 'properly configured' the locks.
