... a waste of our time, and another banner view for the site. This has no new information, and it certainly doesn't tell us anything new about the new core.
We still don't know when the 760mp chipset is coming out, we still don't know when Palomino is coming out, we still don't know whether the P4 will catch on, or if AMD's x86-64 sets will dominate.
Wake me when we can get a definite answer for these questions.
Another larger question, however is whether or not AMD can overcome the tremendous marketing shadow Intel has cast on them. Most consumers are stuck in the dark ages of misinformation while they laud the great Information Superhighway. They think that AMD solutions will be more error prone, somehow slower, or cause all their incompatibility problems.
What I'd like to see is very simple benchmarks, convincing to the average consumer, and displayed at the beginning of the computer ad section in Best Buy and CompUSA. Introduce it with the new core, preferably. If buyers even THINK that AMD is faster, they're alot more likely to forget their reservations and follow their wallet, which is where AMD shines. AMD's complete absence from the TV ad arena, while a prudent choice, is confirming the public's suspicions that AMD has something to hide or be ashamed of.
Without more strength in the consumer confidence department, it'll will be substantially harder to transition to ANY new platform, including DDR.
Puh-leeze. Although I guess not being a fan of the original disqualifies my opinion, the few times I've started to watch SVU when there was NOTHING else on it has been horrible. Its just another example of scum on TV, and "SVU" is just anothre excuse to bring up smut.
No one really even agrees on when LIFE is appropriate, and we're already moving on to cloning? Until the first issue is solved, the second will always have problems. How about mass cloning / abortions in early stage pregnancies to harvest some useful substance? Perfectly legal I guess?
In response to the article's title, who cares? If the average couch potato gets confused as to what makes a.coop, then he'll never use it. The current system and tld's are satisfactory; there are only a couple new tld's needed, and all domains should be country specifiable. The only reason for creation of these frivolous extensions is MONEY.
In other news, sources close to the White House have confirmed that Bill Clinton has already begun teaching Al Gore all he knows about the ejections. Suprisingly, the famous inventor had never heard of them.
This is exactly the kind of unnecessary bragging that gives us nerds a bad name socially. Many of us here have matched or exceeded your accomplishments, yet are too HUMBLE to brag about them in an article with almost no relevance. Think about it, how much did one learn from your post? The only section not laced with boasts is the last, "Of course, if you have a better suggestion for a programming language for kids to screw around with, I am all ears." Well said. NOT.
You are yet another sign that Slashdot is degenerating.
That said, I would think the benefit of programming in BASIC on the PSX2 would be less that using a computer, because a large part of learning is seeing examples, sharing with friends, etc. However, for the more intermediate/advanced programmers I can see where it might be fun.
I hate to be a thread killer, but how about we extend this question a little? You've just come to the realization that your job has no far-reaching purpose. Great, so you quit it and join a non-profit helping the poor or disabled or supporting equal rights. Then everyone on earth dies because 5 asteroids hit the earth. Back to square one, eh? What's the purpose of you LIVING? What is it he purpoes of your LIFE? To make money? To support a family? To 'be happy' for a short time? Why are we here? How can we think at one time, and then be dead the next?
They only like a few songs because the radio station that they, their friends, and their whole community listen too only favors them. We wouldn't have this problem if you could all think for yourselves instead of automatically jumping to one side of the boat.
Rammstein? Yeah, I like hard rock...you know, if it doesn't have that cute little lightning icon next to, I don't listen to it. No sir-ee.
Christina Aguilara? Sure! Any woman that can't decide on what note to land on, all to imitate imitating singers from a race she might actually be a part of under all that makeup, in a style that was originally created to make up for poor/fewer backup singers, all so she can be the main star is my type! I'm sure glad its not the Christina Aguilara Band, because those others can't sing at all.
I've been thinking for a while now why EG was good in the first place. My teacher at the time was a real nitpicker, and I ended up reading it about 5 times in most sections, with every little mistake burning a whole through the page. Anyone else catch the mistakes?
I think the reason EG appeals to us is because we all want to be the supergenius who saves the world (at least on/. I'm sure) We'd like to think that our eccentricities and lack of sociability will be made up for ultimately; and that's where we're wrong.
Ender's game is not teaching us a positive lesson for people who follow that belief. Ender was more a leader than he was brilliant. Don't think the smart quiet guy always wins in the end. He doesn't.
Take every day as a new possibility to influence people so that one day you can be the manager. That is the real strategy to infer.
It's an April Fools Joke! Look at the department it came from! Ha! Can you believe it? Hemos just cracks me up sometimes. I haven't laughed this hard since the summer of 1905.
My name is Thomas Edwards, and I live at 5237 Jermockel Lane Dallas, TX. I have two kids and a golden retriever named Holiday. As a family computer we have an IBM Aptiva, and a licensed copy of WinZip. However, I confess that on our d:\temp directory resides a copy of my favorite CD that I recently burned a copy of. The copy is in my briefcase, next to the coffee table, combination 283. I am evil. Please take me away, I have breached the your sacred trust in the consumer. After visiting your 'what you can copy' site I realized how far astray I had gone, and now I beg you to punish me. I don't want my actions to have any negative impact on the future of artistic innovation in America.

Er, preview. I even looked up rivalled, knew that rivaled WASN'T a word. Wherever you got this is wrong! Maybe reviled??
Yech!
We had a pi reciting contest at my geeky HS/college And it's RIVALED not RIVALLED!! I made a fool of myself! The top person knew 81 so far, still, before I left in disgust, but someone up next claimed to know 151.
Moderate him DOWN!!

If intel makes the price of their compiler high, and no one buys it, which sticks the industry with bad performance, no one will buy the processor.
If there is no good/cheap compiler, no one will by the cpu. If Intel does not make the compiler cheap, there will be no good/cheap compiler.

Whats the likelihood of proxy cheats developing?
So I can figure out why the heck anyone cares
You are a liar. That's a cliche event that you're just making up because of the topic.
Get a life. Moderators: even if this was true, whoop de doo. Lets give him an extra point because thats neat-o.
I don't think so

These are much more important questions.
So the states are suing, so what? I'll never get to see the money.

Copying radio broadcasts to tape is legal. I'd assume copying from tape to CD is legal, why not TV to tape?

The only thing sad about that is that no one has shown you the real reason for living.

Can you say, 'loser'? No? Reread that first paragraph.
Can't you see that you're bragging? If you want to provide stats, give a link to one of the many publicized reviews.
