But that doesn't stop the Streisand effect, and it becomes a whole lot messier as soon as one person in New Zealand tells anyone outside of New Zealand the names of the accused.
Or even do a $25 stop payment on the check, rather than paying someone $500 to send the check back. (This post is, of course, assuming it's not a scam, even though it obviously is.)
Via's current chips are descendants of the IDT WinChip. Basically, a design similar to the original Pentium, IIRC.
From memory, and I may be missing some, here's all of the unlicensed x86 compatibles and their descendants:
NEC V20/V30 (these may be licensed, I forget whether NEC was a second source for Intel, as well) Cyrix 486DLC/486SLC/486/5x86/MediaGX (now sold as the AMD Geode GX1)/6x86/M2 - this line was going to evolve into the VIA Cyrix III, but the 3rd-generation Centaur design, which was supposed to be the low power/budget chip, was also much faster IDT WinChip/WinChip 2/VIA C3/VIA C7 - there's a modern descendant to this line that I forgot the name of, but can FINALLY do out of order execution NexGen Nx586 - the successor to this was almost the Nx686, but AMD bought NexGen, repackaged it, and called it the K6 IBM Blue Lightning 486 - yes, IBM did their own 486 design, while also manufacturing Cyrix 486s Rise mP6/SiS550
The VIA chips are proof that licensing isn't necessary - they support 3DNow, MMX, and various forms of SSE...
It's easy to sniff an FTP password, though, and if there's backups being done to this non-trusted server, one could very easily delete the user's files.
Gotta tunnel it over SSH to keep that password safe.
Which has the crappiest implementation of WMP ever.
(On a serious note, I've never had a problem with a QuickTime video on this machine, and it's always been very fast, and actually watchable. Compare to FLV, which can do 10 FPS *AT BEST* on this old G4 - and that's for low quality vids.)
I'll grant you that it wouldn't be particularly GOOD as an eBook reader, but... right-shift 3, 4, enter switches it to binary for base calculations. Then, left-shift 3 gives you a way to enter binary numbers. Calculations involving decimal numbers and an alternate-base number are displayed in the alternate base. (And you can switch what that alternate base is in the right-shift 3 menu.)
Well, except for the basic scientific, my 50g can do all of that, except for MAYBE the ebook reader, but there probably is an ebook reading app for the 50g...
IIRC, HP actually hired the developer of MetaKernel, which was a replacement OS for the HP48 line, to develop the OS for the 49g and newer models - in fact, my 50g has a MetaKernel splash screen.
Actually, if the ATM has no real network connection, why not run Win98? It'll be single-tasking, might be doing dial-up to contact the bank (with no constant connection,) and with very few infection vectors. And, Win98 doesn't have many ports open by default, so sitting a Win98 box on the open internet is probably safer than doing the same with a WinXP box.
Sounds like malware can cause it, too, and I've also seen some references to weird behavior on SMP machines with overlapping console windows, which most likely wouldn't be the case on this machine.
IIRC, the default was actually changed to automatically reboot back with Windows 2000. (And, I want to say that NT4 Server also automatically rebooted.)
For a while, Intel was using exclusively SiS chipsets on their low-end (read: developing countries) motherboards.
Their last SiS-based board, though, was just replaced with an Atom board with an i945. Which was a mistake, because the i945 guzzles much more power than the old SiS chipset. It's funny when you have a tiny little heatsink on the CPU that wouldn't look out of place on a southbridge, and then a big huge heatsink with fan on the northbridge.

That was just retarded. Seriously. And I LIKE idle!
Not easy to set up a bad notary that works for spoofing a site, but very easy to set up a bad notary that works for a DoS attack.

The IBM "586" would've been a rebadged Cyrix 5x86.
In fact, some of IBM's 486s were rebadged Cyrix 486s, IIRC.
IIRC, the fastest IBM-designed (rather than Cyrix-designed, but IBM-labeled) x86 CPU was a 75 MHz 486DX2.
Except it was SiS that bought out Rise, not Via.
And the Rise mP6, if only Rise had put more L1 cache on it, could've competed with the Athlon, and was out of order. The C7 is still in-order.
But, yes, the Nano is a new design. However, it was designed by Centaur, the same team responsible for the WinChip and the Via C3 and C7.

Hell, I'd even take WMV over FLV.

Actually, I'm pretty sure you can get a GMA chipset on an ISA or PCI card.
But, you also get a processor, and RAM, on that same card, and they're designed to run on a passive ISA or PCI backplane. ;)
