i grew up in northern new york. one of the turbine farms is a stone's throw from the cow pasture where i went to high school. what you have there is the tip of the iceberg. these people are a special kind of crazed.
they are both ignorant and stupid, which means they are also prone to mass hysteria. if the opponents are serious about taking these things down, all they have to do is let it leak that the makers of the turbines are in league with the devil, and the masses will take to them with pitchforks and torches.
Infineon Technologies announced today that it has plead guilty to a single and limited charge related to the violation of US antitrust laws in connection with the pricing in its Dynamic Random Access Memory.
Infineon strongly condemns any attempt to fix or stabilize prices. Infineon is committed to vigorous and fair competition based solely on superior products and services.
The DoJ is investigating charges that major memory makers colluded to prevent the success of Rambus
So? Yeah, beat 'em down if they were fixing prices, but I'm not so upset w/ a conspiracy against Rambus. Hell, if they asked me, I would have joined up!
I have a hard time remembering who are the good guys and who are the bad guys. We still hate the RIAA and love Linux, right? We've got so many jihads, I can't keep them straight!

What the hell kind of stupidity is going on here?

Show some repect, coward! That's a 2-digit UID you're talking to!
from apple:
5. Memory, AirPort Extreme and internal Bluetooth upgrades must be performed by an Apple Authorized Service provider; fees may apply.
cheaper, yes, but i imagine to do otherwise will add the cost of having your warranty voided.
me fail math? that's unposs...
oh yeah. nevermind.

[Trent Reznor] decided to ditch the effort since it was taking too long for them to get done with the game.
in other news, local pot calls kettle "black"
www.nin.com has updated...If the samples are any indicator, it doesn't appear so. I listened to the sample of Nine Inch Nails' "Big Man with a Gun"
"Me and my fucking gun" and "I'm gonna come all over you" were quite clear.
now do i get modded up for profanity or down?

hell hath no fury like a mac addict unfavorably reviewed.
Interesting - seems very close to the Panther and Darwin releases. Has this accepted any code from Apple?
my guess is that it seems unlikely. panther and the new darwin release are based on freebsd 5.0
but i have been known to make mistakes...from time to time...
Geforce FX, WinFX - this is starting to get about as in style as neglecting the leading E on words such as Xtreme and Xpress.
it's because many of the e's had to be prefixed to Commerce, Business, Solutions, et al in the late 90s...
i expect a shortage of i's to appear soon as well.
there's a finite number of vowels, you know!
woah woah woah...
do you mean to tell me that apple has ideas and microsoft would just take them for use in microsoft products?
suddenly i'm considering changing all of my freebsd boxes over to linux...
from what i've seen (tomshardware et al), 875's w/ PAT were only marginally out performing the 865's anyway.
has anyone seen where this stuff significantly inproves performance?
nonetheless, i'm waiting for the P5/Prescott before upgrading the ol' PC anyway...
i like what i hear about this chip, and i'm really pulling for them with the 970/G5/whatever they're actually going to call it in the end
but what do we know for sure? these are rumor sites, and it's apple we're talking about here
i'll believe it when i see it...
he's altering the deal. pray he doesn't alter it any further.
unsophisticated users, eh?
little brothers are watching you...
probably quite some time.
as quickly as you can, name 5 viruses for windows. now name 5 viruses for the mac. what was the time difference? did you even finish?
sure, it can be done, but it's toward the bottom on the list of my concerns with this new service.
yes, an extension of this bill will be as depressing as the last star wars... :)
i wonder how much of this will remain true once Panther rolls out (sept?)
