Or McDonalds food. You can leave a ham burger in a car for over 2 weeks, and it still looks just as fresh (It's shocking how many preservatives [no condom jokes, thankyou] they stick in them).
Is this "throttling" existant in AMD 64bit proccessors? The reason I ask is because I've had one overheat (even though the fan and heatsink were fine) and the power cut off (this was not a motherboard feature).
I don't know what you mean about "technology edge" all I remember is that alot of people were telling me that their AMDs were superior to intels and cheaper.. and then when the fan would cut off for 2-7 secconds, the proccessor would start smoking and effectively become entirely unusable afterwards... while the intel proccessors would just behave slower with a fan stall...
Even today, intel seems to be leading in thermal protection, as AMD proccessors just cut the power now instead of frying...
I'd rather pay a little more money to get the full deal instead of some knock-off that isn't reliable for intense work (which by the way, is supposed to be AMD's target).
From what I heard, it doesn't have the ability to emulate the m86k ASM code. But it does have support for running some legacy amiga application, as macos X supports running legacy applications (and viruses?)
However, being that the classic Amiga Viruses I've encountered were written using some clever ASM code, it's doubtfull that they'll work on OS4.
Just incase anyone get's confused, OS4 runs on the new PPC systems from Amiga (AmigaOne)
Anyway, the point of my original post, was that there were alot of anti-virus software for macintoshes in the past, and now, that I barely use Macs, I know of anti-virus software availible for MacOSX.
Remember, people wouldn't write anti-virus software if there weren't viruses.
(And for those who criticised what os I use, I use AmigaOS 3.0/3.9/4.0, Linux Debian/Mandrake/yellowdog/gentoo/slackware, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Windows, MacOS classic 7.1/9)

Jeeze, you really don't know much about macs, there have always been viruses for macintoshes, even back on the old macintosh classics. I'm not very happy that you're lying to people spreading fake information about Macintoshes.
By the way, the fact that Macintosh had anti-virus scanners, even back when they had macintosh classics (see: Agax, Autostart Hunter, Dr. Solomons Virex, VirusScan, WormFood, WormScanner) shows that there were problems
Since I haven't been using much of the MacOSX I don't know much about it, but even I, who barely knows about it, knows about the virus scanner availible for it: VirusBarrier. I could probably come up with more if I googled, but I'll leave that with you.
Now, if you want a platform that doesn't have viruses, I suggest you look into Amiga OS 4.0 PR:P.. At least, not yet.
My WI-FI network is open, but that's it, no internet access or anything (That stuff can be established through my VPN on the network which I wouldn't give anyone access to)
Is that what you want? a open wi-fi network that you can't access anything you want on?
Do you have the bandwith to spare? Even though I have ADSL connections and cable connections at home, the work I do doesn't give me much bandwith to spare. I wouldn't mind providing free access if it wern't a hassle of resources for me, plus the problem described below.
Are you willing to take the blame if someone hacks into some location through your internet connection (In Poland, the owner of the internet connection is charged if there is no evidence that someone else did it and you couldn't prove it wasn't your self.)?
I'm curious to see how you would address these problems.
The funny thing is, I can change my mac address in windows (linux doesn't seem to give me this ability).
Pretty much I goto the properties of wi-fi connection configuration, click "configure" goto the "advanced" tab and click "NETWORK ADDRESS" which allows me to specify a mac address if I wish.
Personally when I can get a cheap wi-fi card that does that... I don't have much faith in those "MAC ADDRESS" locks.
I found the best way to get a wi-fi network secured is to get everything to connect to a VPN on the wi-fi network... Of course the computers also are fully firewalled with the exception of the VPN.
It may not be the best way for you, but I've found nobody has yet caused a security issue with this method.

My only problem with this, is that I run a small site on a 512KBps(down)/1024KBps(up) connection, and I get the equilivant of a slashdot effect every 30 minutes because of all the RSS feed readers.
I'm starting to consider offering a mailing feature instead because of this.

Didn't that simply make the chip faster by combining it?

You may not know this, but Intel is trying todo this with their mobile series of Pentiums and their Pentium M.
I remember that the older AMD proccessors would start smoking and then effectively stop working.
No, you fool!

What makes a macro-virus not a virus? I don't understand your point.

Actually, microsoft windows will emulate on proccesors that don't support it (and I've tested this and it does, infact, work.)
Nope, but if I had the ability right now, I'd mod you as informative.
To put it simply, it's not RSS then plus, why the hell would they need to make another XML format for RSS?
I don't think Microsoft is trying to replace open standards, just dominate the market.
