The FSB has nothing to do with the chip, really. When you mess with the FSB you mess with most of the components on the mobo. Classic Athlons can't get much past 105/107 no matter what you do. Granted, I have no idea how the core voltage will affect the Duron (which runs at what? 1.5V normally?), but I don't see it cracking 110/112.
The reasons Celerons can overclock so high is because they run at a measly 66 MHz FSB, and they are designed to run at 133. They are, after all, just a P3 with half the cache turned off.:)
Most classic Athlons don't overclock much past 105 FSB (before you go spouting the 200 FSB number at me, that's DDR, and most BIOSs use the smaller number, as far as I know).
I don't see the newer chips ones being much different, and with BIOS settings going to 105, 110, and to the stratosphere, I don't see you getting much of a boost just by playing with the FSB speed. If you want the goods, you have to play with the multiplier.
AMD has a horrible problem with people remarking their Slot1 chips. The problem is most distinct in Australia. Read the Monday Blurn on Tom's Hardware for the scoop (including the contents of correspondence from AMD. However, this morning Tom turned around and disclosed how to get around the "lock" and overclock the chip anyway. The overclock involves burining away and recreating the contacts on the chip. The advantage to that is that chip alterations will be very, very, very obvious (or at least I believe that to be the case - we'll see soon).
NOTE: They give that address out during the Santa Claus parade in Toronto, for those Americans who dan't know. The parade is stown in many many countries, so the wonderful people at Canada Post got a lot of mail.
You do not need to send a SASE for the simple reason that no six year old is going to understand the concept.

The GPL is only in effect if you wish to distribute (make copies of) the software to give to other people. It does not affect you if you are making a copy to install on your system.
This ruling affects the resale of items, not the copying of items. AFAIK, the GPL does not restrict your ability to resell, say, a Redhat CD. It does restrict your ability to, say, make and distribute a knockoff of Redhat *cough*Mandrake*cough*.
We'll all just keep using the brand new version of Winamp with the goold old trusty in_holiestnitrane.dll plugin.
Anybody remember when they replaced Nitrane with a sucky Fraunhoffer (sp?) decoder, because of a lawsuit or something? Install old Winamp, copy plugin to temp, install new Winamp, replace plugin, done.
And *that* is the power of Winamp. Only problem is, all the people that get Winamp free with AOL 6/Netscape won't know about the trick, will think Winamp is a SecureMP3/whatever player instead of a normal MP3 player, and AOL will (try to) win with numbers.
use strict; I can understand, but just try using perl -w on a file that is residing on a remote web server as an action file (sorry, CF lingo, bad bad bad) for your first email order form. It doesn't work.
It looks to me like it's saying "You don't have to accept this contract, but if you don't you can't modify or distribute this program." It's sort of like the M$ EULA, which essentially says, "You don't have to accept this contract, but if you open the box containing the EULA, you have indicated acceptance of the contract." If the EULA is legal, then the GPL surely is.
As for the rest of your argument, yes, that is correct.:)
I ANAL. Brought to you buy non-lawyers in search of better acronyms.
Therefore, they denied treating Afternic unfairly. "In a statement, ICANN treated Afternic fairly" does not mean the same thing. In fact, they did not do anything towards Afternic in the statement. They merely denied the allegations that they treated Afternic unfairly. Do the extra words make it clearer for you?
There is no problem updating the GPL to fix loopholes, because almost all GPL'ed code is specifically licensed under 'Version X or later'.
The only minor problem with that is (at least around here) clasues that allow one party to change the contract (which is basically what a license is) without notifying the other party is illegal (Competition Act or Ontario, 1985. IANAL, but I did take Law in High School:) ).
So, the words "or later" aren't going to fly around here, AFAICT. Neither are most M$ EULAs, assuming a challenge ever happens. (Of course, then the law will be changed by US lobbyists, but hey, that's democracy for you </sarcasm>)

Even if the dolphins could tell us, they won't, because we're not smart enough to fuly grasp the concept. Otherwise, *we* would be the ones moving from one dimension to another, on a whim, and then where would the universe be?
They probably used a transporter/teleporter, which makes you feel remarkably like being drunk. You know, like the one Ford and Arthur used in the first book?
And besides, if the dolphins wanted you on their new planet, they would have moved you there instead of whatever dimension we're in now.
I heard a story (no word on whether it's true, or just a rumor, so don't go saying that I told you anything for sure) that Transmeta had actually been hoping for better benchmarks coming back from their initial silicon, but that they had ended up being slower than expected, but they still had the low power consumption, and a marketing campaign (one part Linus Torvalds, one part Low Power Consumption) was born. Who knows if it's true, not that it really matters.
<p>Yes, they were really disappointed with the Windows benchmarks on the original silicon (TM3200). It turns out that they optimized for 32 bit code, because everything is 32 bit, or so they thought. It turns out that windows 9x still uses a TON of old 16 bit code left over from Win31. So, they had to deoptimize their chip. That's why the 3200 is listed as optimized for Linux, and the 5400 is optimized for Windows.
<p>I imagine they hired Linus for 1) the prestige of hiring Linus, and 2) he's a damn good coder (not necessarily in that order).
<p>I also imagine that they will keep the two chip sets seperate, so the 5xxx series will ontinue to be optimized for 16 bit apps (Windows 9x and ME), while the 3xxx series will be optimized for everything else.
<p>And I'll be impressed with the two watt Celeron if I actually see it sometime before 2003 (I can't believe I'm saying that about Intel, but it's true - they haven't been able to meet anything resembling their demand the last 6 months).
SpeedStep is hardly an interesting technology. If I'm not on AC Power, slow me down to a crawl. Wow. Big deal. My laptop's motherboard can almost do that for me, and I'm running a P233.
However, Transmeta creates a chip that runs at 700 HMz (which apparently works out to the same speed as an Intel 500 MHz chip), runs at as little as one watt, and only uses as much of the chip as it needs? DAMN!
You have to remember that Transmeta is shooting for a different core market than Intel or AMD. They are aimed at people who want decent performance and tons of battery life. They don't want really kick ass performance - if they wanted that they'd but a desktop and let Intel or AMD throw transistors at the problem.
Sure, the technology is new. But don't whine because you don't really understand it. Go back under your bridge and make your horse whips while the rest of us putt around on our horseless carriages (okay, that last bit was out of line, but it's apt enough).
Read So Long and Thanks for the Fish again. They found a planet clos to earth in another dimension, and being smarter than us, went there.
They then, kindly enough, did exactly the same thing to the human race. But, knowing the human race like they did, they quite rightly sent humans to a different planet than they went to.
The real question is what happened to the mice.
It takes just a *little* reading between the lines, but not a heck of a lot.
Heavy boxes: Is that hard-covered 300 page manual REALLY a necessity?? Especially since it can be put in postscript format? OK, for RPGs this can be a nice touch, but I got Visual Studio 6.0 for my birthday. The box was about 5 pounds!!
Especially since the Quick Reference, the God of All Books that came with Visual Basic 4, is sold seperately in book stores for a truly obscene amount of money....
(So I programmed in VB as a teenager. It was easy. And the Quick Reference was indeed the God of all Books on my bookshelf. Next to Lord of Chaos - what can I say, I like them big.):)
This specifically deals with documents stored on servers, sent through a PSTN to a terminal. It would seem to me, that if you asked six random people (i.e. the jury in the civil lawsuit) to equate a web server and a browser to a server and a client, they wouldn't do it. Especially if one of them has a cable modem.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Personally, I think Microsoft should buy Nothern Telecom - that way they can say they invented the hyperlink, just like they invented the Symbolic Link!
Then hopefully they will go on to prove that black is white and Steve Ballmer (I don't feel like picking on Bill Gates any more - it's too easy) will get killed at the next zebra crossing.
In other words, if you had bothered to check out the benchmarks, you would have noticed it keeps up with the next-lowest Athlon, and that's just because it has next to no L2 cache. The FPU still r00ls j00 (sorry for the h4X0r sp33k, but I thought it was appropriate).
Intel and AMD can never play on the same mobo now. The Athlon (and the Duron now) use *completely* different underlying architetures. If you put an Athlon into, say, an Asus CUBX, it won't post because the CUBX (and any Intel chipset for that matter) isn't DDR.
So, while an open socket and complete interopability between Intel and AMD would be nice, it will be a chilly day in Hell before it happens.

Okay you got me there.
Mind you, if you're buying the whole box from a less than reputable source, what are the odds you're going to look very hard at even the fan?
So yeah, either way the hanest customer loses out.

This does not affect the GPL *at all*.
