    Feh, Ellen Feiss did a better job of it all around - and she's cuter. ;b

    SuSE 8.2 Livecd's ' sax ' software generated an even better one for me. I used it to get all graphics modes working for VMware. ...and I'm a big Knoppix supporter, so that's just my $2.02.

    Your site doesn't render properly in Opera under Linux, either... I see the Language at the top and the rest of the page is pretty much blank.

    --I was going to mod you up, but instead I'll agree with you. Posting the article with "Don't run out and buy AMD just yet..." struck me as being blatantly anti-AMD. :(

    --Slashdot should be more careful. I read that Inquirer so-called "news" article, and it seemed like just a bunch of rumours.

    --I for one have to applaud AMD's work on the 64-bit stuff, and wish them the best. Competing with Intel is not easy.

  20. Re:Why would Google even want to? on Google Wins the Filesharing Wars? · · Score: 1

    --regarding Google's IPO...

    --I believe two things:
    o If Google IPO's, they will eventually DIE - because evil corporate bastards will come in, take over, and attempt to make Google into something horribly different than what it is today. In the process, Google's founders will lose control over the company and eventually be forced to do things they don't want to do, or (more likely) forced out entirely. Money or not, that's a Bad Thing(TM).

    o Deep down, Google's founders KNOW THIS. That's why they haven't IPO'd, and (God willing!) they NEVER WILL. If they do, they will no longer be the "coolest search engine on the web", with control over their product and vision, they'll just be another corporate takeover victim.

    --I'm hoping they learned a lesson from what happened to Mandrake, and (God bless 'em) they'll continue striving to be - and remain - the best search engine available anywhere. Period.
