It sounds more like they don't want Via making any money off the new chipset. According to the article Intel is planning on releasing an SDRAM chipset next month and a DDR-SDRAM chipset next year.
It's safe to assume that those three comic strips had universal appeal across industries because they all relied on topics that were relevant and interesting to all people.
What I'm saying is that it isn't a geek-only cultural phenomenon.
As for the project, there was clearly nothing vaguely scientific in the original plan but it was subsequently expanded to include a whole host of "scientific" things to encourage its approval. Of course, with the increase in things it needed to accomplish, the price went up. It's hardly surprising that a pet project like this got cut.
No kidding. I went over there and posted an opinion with a couple of charts and articles to back it up and was immediately proclaimed a basher and spreader of FUD. You'd think I just insulted their mama.
I never thought he'd get around to doing the last 3 books. Hopefully it won't be as disappointing as another Trilogy extension that we all know and have come to despise.
Has anyone else noticed that Tom Christiansen's visibility has gone to zero lately? Ever since the Perl Cookbook was released there hasn't been a peep out of that corner. I ask because the original authors of Learning Perl were Schwartz and Christiansen.
Considering that Brazil is the largest market in the southern hemisphere (okay, Australia is there too...), making a Portugese port of Linux makes a lot of sense.
Of course, porting and selling Linux hasn't yet proved to be a sustainable business plan.

The Apple tower series designers were really onto something when they came up with the G3. You gotta hand it to Apple, when it comes to aesthetics and the melding of form and function, they've got the monopoly.
There is no evidence that European independent software developers have been unduly affected by the patent positions of large companies or indeed of other software developers. (We return to this point below when discussing the position in the USA.)
European independent software developers are making disproportionately little use of the patenting possibilities open to them compared with the use made by large companies and by US SME and even independent software developers.
There is increasing but still relatively low use by European independent software developers of patents in raising finance or in licensing i.e. in getting an invention through to being an innovation of benefit e.g. to consumers.
There is considerable evidence of concern by European independent software developers about the potential effects of patents on the development of computer program related inventions.
If you don't protect yourself with available laws, who do you think is going to?

With that kind of power, there's got to be some kind of emergent intelligence in there.
Hey ASCI, what's the meaning of life?

that need to be worked out, but I'm sure you guys are going to do a really good job getting those ironed out.
Good work sir, carry on.

Hopefully, Rambus will go out of business so people can build RDRAM without having to pay royalty
IANAL, but it seems to me that as long as RDRAM is covered by patents, Rambus will get a piece of the pie.

Could it be possible that the Intel-S3 licensing agreement barred the transfer of IP rights?
Does anyone know?

So if it were February we'd all be wondering why the Internet was completely disrupted? The halo created by the flare is pretty significant.

Yeah, but down from 150+ to 30+? When the previous year was 29+? Not likely.

Perl and PHP have different, though overlapping, domains. Ruby and PHP (and Python) have similar problem domains.

Only 5,000? That's a little small for a convention...

From the article:
From our research we conclude:
There is no evidence that European independent software developers have been unduly affected by the patent positions of large companies or indeed of other software developers. (We return to this point below when discussing the position in the USA.)
