You need to consider who the article was written for - not the typcal/. geek with glasses and no association with a mythical concept called a girlfriend but towards the elite cool gamerz who spell everything with z's and pay attention to overclocking speed.
Higher end cpu's sell primarily based upon gaming and gaming performance. A large number of them overclock, hence it's a valid sales pitch to let it be known the chip's overclockable.
It's not an AMD versus Intel issue - it's just sales... marketing....
As a representative of the Nigerian Government currently vacationing in the US I wish to congratulate you on your outreach and business communications with the citizens here. However, I feel that your email has reached me in error and must ask that you look further for the correct party.
During a normal review of your email however, I did notice that you had been delinquient in filing appropriate fees, taxes and associated business licenses for the normal course of business in Nigeria. As such, I must ask you to remit the sum of $50,000 (FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS) within a two week time-span.
Please note however, that due to my own personal misfortune I would consider clearing you of any wrong-doing for the sum of $10,000 (TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS). I must receive a reply from you soon however.
be so unfunny that someone spits coffee over YOUR monitor.
So for spitting coffee over monitor's - is this akin to seeing who can spit the watermelon seed the farthest similair to how many motor-cycles can be jumped?
Are the monitors lined up side by side (widescreen LCD's) or back to back (skinny lcd's) or some huge 28" CRT screens from a few years back.
So to paraphrase, the scientists have come up with a simulation of the Casimir effect - and they plan to use this to analyze the Casimir effect on systems that they can't currently measure.
1) If they don't understand it, 2) How can they simulate it, 3) Especially given it's on a scale where they previously couldn't measure it?
Science : Screw the scientific method - just go to press, get funding. Get slashdotted. 3. ??? 4. Profit.
Actually, as GP poster, I meant any value such as $BA or whatever is common with Intel. My assembly background primarily involves the 6502 (old) and it's BRK value is not relevant towards this conversation (BRK = $00 ):-(
When debugging at the hardware level it's fairly common to fill uninitialized memory (or newly allocated in a debug version of the malloc libraries) with a value that will either cause the computer to execute a system level break ( eg: TRAP / BRK etc) or something fairly obvious such as ($BA).
If you don't like the 0's, then replace your memory allocation library.
If I borrow $100 now and put it to work now, that $100 will have a net effect of the $100 spent x the current multiplier (ie: I pay Paul, Paul pays the grocer, the grocer pays the mob boss, the mob boss pays the police comissioner, the police comissiner pays his bookie... but I digress).
So, borrowing $100 now is not the same as borrowing $100 in the future. The $100 now can be used to generate money that, in the future, will simply have never existed.
And you'll still be left, with the $100, somewhere in the system, unless it's been exported overseas. (joy)
My car has a DVD player that CONSTANTLY moves around while it is playing - rough roads, fast corners, hard braking - the works.....and guess what - it has never scratched a disc - EVER.
You would need to see all the food service places the commenter had seen, and rank them according to "dirty and unsanitary-looking"ness and then determine where the cutoff is for "one of the most".
The language is so vague it is meaningless...
and in addition, it was the one of the worst the _poster_ had seen - one person's opinion may be different from anothers.
The business has to be able to prove that the comment caused financial damage, and sue for recovery of that damage. It is difficult to win that kind of case. Just ask anyone who tried to sue for negative feedback received on Ebay, claiming the negative hurt their business - so far no one's ever won.
Has anyone won yet for negative moderation on Slashdot yet?
5 PRINT CHR$(147);:INPUT "WHAT IS YOUR NAME?",A$:IF A$="JOE" THEN GOTO 20 10 ?"YOU ARE NOT AS COOL AS MOI, SORRY!":FOR I=1TO10000:NEXT:GOTO 5 20 FOR I=1TO20:?"MOI IS COOL!":NEXT:FORI=1TO10000:NEXT
There - fixed that for you -
Line 5 - needed CHR$(147) to clear screen - there was no CLS command on the C64. Line 5 - Input required a comma to seperate variables instead of semicolon.
Lines 10, 20 removed unnecessary variable specification on next command (eg: NEXT instead of NEXT I).
Also, since I don't know Joe I changed his name to MOI.

Failure to do so will be met with most severly.
Thank you for your understanding,

"Traveling that fast is going to make my ass look big."
Just figured out my reply: "Dear - it's all relative... "
The problem with traveling faster than light is that my wife would never go with me on a trip:
"Traveling that fast is going to make my ass look big."
(Hmm, leaving her behind might be a good thing... )
This post is solely for the purpose of gaining the April Fool's achievment in case this is one of the April Fool's stories.
Obviously, the story, if I had read it should clue me in but per Slashdot norms, I haven't RTFA and don't intend to.
I'll post back in reply to this post if it is real or not.

Thanks... just curious.
Bah, everyone knows the real achievement is getting a frist post!
Or posting on a silly thread just to get the achiev...
Heh - posting in a thread just to get another achievment...
How silly.
Wait.
Oh drat....

Gah, not the rapture. My wife wants the stupid bathroom to be finished remodeling before anyone else makes alterations...
Geesh... To hear her whine and complain about how long I've taken - I can just hear it now, "You waited so long the rapture occurred... "
If the $100 is spent now, and the multiplier effect takes place now then it's worth say, $100 x R.
If the $100 is simply saved, and spent at a future point then at that future point in time, $100 is still only worth $100.
The net effect of the future $100 would be delayed an additional time until it is actually utilized.
In a word, No.
If I borrow $100 now and put it to work now, that $100 will have a net effect of the $100 spent x the current multiplier (ie: I pay Paul, Paul pays the grocer, the grocer pays the mob boss, the mob boss pays the police comissioner, the police comissiner pays his bookie... but I digress).

Please - Thank of the kids!!
Do they get scratched?
I can just imagine the batteries draining and the users not familair with the system getting off of a train to find there is no way to exit the gates.
Of course, they'll then stomp their feet in anger - hopefully hard enough to blink the ticket gates functional again.
Ah - innovation.

That's not how it works.

Just wondering...
Au contraire,
You have committed a logical fallacy in stating that A implies B, B implies C. No C, therefore no A.
It's akin to saying that All mice are rodents. In my building there are no rodents. Hence, mice do not exist anywhere.

Replacing all is insufficient and unnecessary given there is only one use.

From vi,

Doing the command again, will yield the original file.
