fair enough..... However I know sendmespam@hotmail.com is invalid, because I tried to get that email address and hotmail will not allow you to register an email address w/ the word spam in it.
but you do have a valid point in general, and I will take that under advisement, thank you.
If you OC ur warr is already void (technically) so who cares, I like a huge percent of AMD owners am OC'ing my amd proc's... If I burn one I'll just go out and get another one for $60
I would be pissed about this if I was buying a $$$ Barton 2800XP or higher, but heck for $59 my Tbred B 1800XP is kicking butt @ 1.8Ghz (going to O/C higher soon...need better RAM). Honestly I don't give a damn about their warranty even if I burn this 1800XP... I'll just go buy another one, for $60 I can afford to kill a couple of em' (which I have yet to do to even one...)
I still think it is a stupid move because the 'Pump-Out' only seems to occur at temp cycles of 0-100C or higher... but if your proc is at 100C your pretty much toast already?
What would suck is buying an OEM proc, which is DOA, and then not being able to return it cause you have used AS3? But I have yet to hear a case of a DOA return being denied for this reason?
Anyway I'd just like to say this not withstanding AMD ownz, for less than the cost of a
2.0 P4, I got an 1800XP and Soltek SL-75FRN-RL (nf2) motherboard. And even with the craptastic DDR 2100 I'm running right now it is kicking butt.
then put on a "B" version in 2x mos.
so the delay kinda suxtors but better than paying top $$$ for the new chips and finding out you got teething problems.
now I have something to listen to this weekend... I didn't know I could turn in on the net.
oh yeah and's its kinda neat that they can stream it with the wireless gear.
and one more thing.... check the volume on your speakers before connecting to 'Mercury' cause they are not kidding it is LOUD.

As a measure of computer speed, a gigaflop is a billion floating-point operations per second (FLOPS).

FLOPS
The term you searched for is being presented by search390.com, a TechTarget site for 390 professionals.
In computers, FLOPS are floating-point operations per second. Floating-point is, according to IBM, "a method of encoding real numbers within the limits of finite precision available on computers." Using floating-point encoding, extremely long numbers can be handled relatively easily. A floating-point number is expressed as a basic number or mantissa, an exponent, and a number base or radix (which is often assumed). The number base is usually ten but may also be 2. Floating-point operations require computers with floating-point registers. The computation of floating-point numbers is often required in scientific or real-time processing applications and FLOPS is a common measure for any computer that runs these applications.
In larger computers and parallel processing, computer operations can be measured in megaflops, gigaflops, and teraflops. Some computer scientists have at least begun to think about petaflops.

I agree anyone **smart** enough to use the triangulation technology would have already secured their wireless network with mac / passwords....etc security anyway.
But it is kinda kewl that you could see where people trying to log on were though.
Since electric/hybrid vehicles tend to be fairly quiet. I believe it is safe to say not many harly owners with find these hybrid bikes attractive, as it would be impossible for them to rev the motor in such a way sd to wake the dead whenever they arrived or left somewhere.
Unsafe working conditions
1.The floppy nearly kills the Red one.
2.The little Lego guys are seen Climbing (100~ish feet in Lego Scale up the side of the case without any safety ropes or netting.
3.The Lego's are required to lift substantially greater than their own body weight on multiple occasions?
ULWA - United Lego Workers of America??
Great all the mediocre parts of oem... with a "i sure hope these guys stay in business for the next year" warrenty. that will be great.
I suppose I'd **almost recommend dell to my non computer savy relatives (so I don't have to build their computers... and/or provide tech support.) but with this they'd get a kinda crappy oem level computer but wiht god knows what support/warrenty from the white box reseller.

Take me with you.... god I want to be Canadian.
I played on my C128 and it was the best game I ever had for that computer. Many homework tasks were delayed while playing M.U.L.E.

Just take the bathroom fan out and mount it on these bad boys .... ya'll will be good to go @ about 60c.
If ISOnews is in google cache w/ the pre DOJ site, does that mean google will be prosecuted by the gov for engaging in copyright infringement?

dosn't sound too good to me.
