It's lying by deception. The numbers they chose for comparison look just like clock speeds in MHz. If they gave names, rather than ersatz clock speeds (e.g. Athlon XP-Q, with a blurb that says "Performance in selected benchmarks limited to integer arithmetic show the Athlon XP-Q as fast as an Intel Pentium IV at 2.2GHz"), I might be convinced they were really trying to educate.
What AMD's doing is just as much marketing-speak as using clock speed--but at least when Intel markets by clock speed, they tell the truth.
Let's assume you're indispensible to your employer like you say, and that you're not a pathetic geek that can't bear a few days without a Slashdot fix.
- INMARSAT is not cheap, but could be available. Better grease up--when I say it's not cheap, I mean it's not cheap. - If you can't be incommunicado during your vacation, perhaps a cruise isn't the best choice of vacation?
Cyrix used such a numbering scheme to make their processors sound faster than they really were. AMD uses their numbering scheme to combat Intel's Marketing and FUD campaign
I'm sure that's what Cyrix would have said they had been doing if asked, as well. Deception is deception. Using a PR rating to inflate the clock speed perceived by uninformed computers isn't combating Intel's marketing and FUD, it's lying.
Last night she finally cracked when I installed a network point in the bathroom and told me that either the connection went or she did. After a romantic evening for two . ..
Bzzt. Wrong. The correct answer was "I'll miss you, honey. Would you like some help carrying your things to the car?"
Honestly I would prefer that my campus had an ethics office doing this work as opposed permitting the RIAA to come on campus and do it themselves.
Yes, it's much better to have spineless college administrators lending the RIAA's jackbooted thuggery an air of legitimacy than to make them show their faces and endure the resulting bad PR themselves.
Get congress to pass a law to pay musicians NOT to produce music.
This works for me. Can we start with *NSync and the Backstreet Boys? It may mean higher taxes and less dollars for homeland security, but it'd be worth it.
Whether a submarine is considered a war machine or not depends on your perspective. Those serving on submarines will likely tell you that they are working for peace.
Because goodness knows, everybody critically evaluates that popup from their browser saying there's a problem with the site's SSL certificate, and doesn't just click "OK"
If so, how much money, exactly, did you receive from the entertainment "industry"? (Be sure to have the figures from the FEC handy when he doesn't know/remember.)
I had seen another Kennedy bio and had the same epiphany. And of course, it seems that none of those who value freedom have that kind of access to presidents and kings these days.
It's not just you, heh. But I thought they were good stories. Since the MPAA managed to buy front page coverage about the eeee-vil piracy of Spiderman on P2P, it's only fair that we get equal time. As if someone would spend a freaking day and a half searching for and downloading a crappy VCD copy of something they could just go plunk down $5 and see in the theatre. Unless the MPAA really pissed him off . . . uh, never mind.
says they'll use this as a way to deliver spam more efficiently into the United States. We need to cut the cable already--it's not as if they aren't censoring the inbound connection; why let them spam us?
What's your point? You think you're the first one to learn to look at someone's posting history? If you took the trouble to read the post, instead of delving through my posting history, you'd realize that the issue is that, having already paid for the software, the user is entitled to use it without
registering it (no requirement to register having been agreed to at point of sale)
and
having to be nagged with advertisements for Intuit's "value added" services.
But I guess you needed some old post to try out your precious +1 bonus on. Congratulations on having achieved that milestone.
And your reference to my seething hatred for the DMCA wielding pig-fuckers at Blizzard has nothing whatsoever to do with advocating copyright infringement. I only want to hurt their sales, not copy their product.

No you don't. A full news feed, last time I checked, was over 60GB per day and increasing at the rate of about 100MB per day.

Nothing, because he's paranoid and the current directory in his path. ./a.out, though, runs whatever he last compiled.

Surely you aren't suggesting shutting down the mail and web server?!

No he doesn't. We know who he is. And we know who you are, too.
And from that research grep (1) was born.
Former President Carter visited several submarines, including SSN 688, the Los Angeles . He was a nuclear power qualified submarine officer during his service in the Navy.
Given that history, I hardly think he was insulted when the boat was named after him.
Since the GPL is, after all, a viral license.

Apparently, the vote was conducted with a butterfly ballot, and there was the issue of pregnant, hanging, and dimpled chads . . .

Heard of matinee?
Say it with me: eye-triple-eee-thirteen-ninty-four. Rolls off quite nicely, and doesn't make you sound like some kind of Mac-worshipping newbie :).
Anyway, greetings and 88, Adolf!
Ha ha ha! Although the piracy claims are bullshit, as evidenced by the box office figures.
When you buy your next DVD-R or CDRW drive, wear dark glasses, walk funny, dress in baggy clothes, and pay cash.
