Wow thanks... when I used the mirror in the first comment link there was no link to the.exe, I just saw refernece to it on the original site in the 'pre-slashdotted' image...
While you're trolling... it's pretty damn open over there. Here is a shot I got from a set of tables on a busy street. The little.jp guy din't like the big white guy and asked if i was police.:)

Why not? To be honest it probably isn't based on anything logical. Other then a few dollars AMD has never appealed to me. As a young gamer years ago several games I played had AMD specific issues... while these aren't AMDs fault (or so I believe) it left me with a bad taste in my mouth and went Intel. Now this is almost 6 years ago and things have changed greatly but Intel has always worked for me and so I have stuck by.
That article is from 2002, so much could have changed in the AMD camp.... but if it does indeed remain an 'option' which I can choose to disable I will for the first time move from Intel to AMD.

Not true in the case of ATI... I have firsthand knowledge regarding certain 3d functions in the radeon 8500 series (and several newer models) where we recieved very different benchmarks, and after pressing ATI it was explained that cards with defects had some functions disabled. Again, 99% of the public would never notice.
>> Why do people say a story made the front page of slashdot
Actually a number of stories are posted in areas other then the front page. Look on the left side of the screen under 'Sections'. Each of those sections contains articles, many of which never reached the main slashdot.org page...
It's horrible actually. In Japan they have to cover the male and female private areas... so it's like watching an episode of cops where the penis is the suspect.... break and entering?

Ever wonder if Dvorak is evaluated based on how many people click the page two link? It's obvious the editors are counting how many comments he gets, because he wont shut up about the comments sections.
I'm not sure but just to be on the safe side I'm not commenting over there. After this horrible keyboard he released (see Dvorak Simplified Keyboard) that was anything but simplified he owes me!

No.
Thank goodness... when I was working tech support you have no idea how many times the following happened:
Me: Can you right click on my computer
Them: [silence]
Me: Hello?
Them: How can I click on your computer?
If you're looking for an exact phrase you can just put the query "in quotes" and it'll look for exact matches.

Software vendor XXX is releasing a commercial piece of software but includes a GPL component like LAME.
Since it is a codec they are using do they need to release source for LAME (+modifications) in addition to source for their entire application?
either a bluescreen of death (soon to be redscreen AND bluescreen of death in Longhorn)
