Personaly I think it's pretty discusting that they put a artical out like this knowing full well in the internet world ripples like this take a long time to dispel and will no doubt be paraded as truth for some time.
The thing that makes me sick about it, is the fact they used it as a cheap publicity stunt advertising their BIOS's. Nothing wrong with stunts but when they intentionaly harm another companys reputation to sell a few bios's, well........I hope they get their ass sued off.
Sorry I call BS I have vista and the realtek dirvers don't take two reboots. The sound infact works even before the install program then asks you to restart.
The fact that drivers are horribly unstable for my realtek sound and my ATI card is something completley different.
Unfortunatly all this actualy does is reduce costs for anti spam companys as they do not have to keep up with the growing levels of spam while consumers keep paying more for their service each year.
I have seen this method in action and what it means is people who pay for an anti spam solution are sometimes getting legitimate emails days later then they should.
This is due to the mails not actualy being scanned for content just being put on the slow path because of the antispam providers unwillingness to invest in a system which can cope with actualy scanning the content.
These test have their place but I have seen them missused at many antispam providers and IMO it's not acceptable.
Yeah because everytime I spec a server selling tubing manufacturing equipment expecting maybe 20 vists a day I spec it so it can handle 68 million a day. Makes so much economic sense.
You might want to consider it if so many people are ringging on your door bell that you are having to replace the button every other day due to wear and your electricity bill has gone up about 10 million times due to the constant buzzes.

Utube Sues YouTube

"How many of those hits were proper customers? Can we have figures from before youtube arrived? how many turned into customers after they hit the wrong domain?
How can a company with such massive hit numbers draw so little in sales (especially since they are a real company):"
Sure I'm online to watch some video, oh shit wrong address why don't I buy a tube manufacturing machine while I'm here.
Why is it that iran and pakistan both helped and sent tropps in to afganistan to help america with the fight against the taliban.
Yeah real unity there.
You know if I was to look at bush alone I would think Americans where a bunch of blood crazy religious zelots, but I know better then to judge an entire country or region on the actions of one crazy person.
And I still fail to see what wrong with that? Several hundred years ago you would have been getting ready for maridge and child birth in your early teens. Go back even further and we didn't even wear cloths. Shock horror. Many african tribes wear no cloths and the sight of a naked body dose not produce the same fellings of sexual desire which occurs in western culture. Prohibition of the most natural thing in the world. The naked body leads to this. Is further prohibition really going to quel the currisoity of a child or force them to try in other areas where they are not monitored falling in to the hands of real sexual preditors just to stop little johnny wackiing off to some porn.
But no harm came of it apart from your strange use of punctuation. Are you now saying you regreted those normal teenage experiances? You would rather have been tapped, monitored and lived a life of safe solitude.
Do you still think you would have been the well rounded person you are now if you had not been allowed to have those experiances.
Most of the kids I knew growing up who lived under tight perental control went absolutley crazy once they went to college and university.
Getting heavily in to drugs and messing up there chances at a critical point, where as I had got that out of my system pretty much and was back to being a resonable young adult with an appatite for knowledge and wisend by my life experiances. See the differance is I had the opertunity to develope myself try new things which my parents may not have approved of, even if they had done it at my age. These sheltered kids had no wherewithall to know when enough was enough without being told. If we want to produce yet another generation of children without the brain capacity to look after themself then we are going the right way about it.
Yeah but you could also buy a $100 amd cpu and clock it to the same speed as a fx 60, not seen one that won't hit atleast 2.7ghz. So argument is kind of bunk.
All AMD chips clock to about the same so any x2 is going to be as good as another.
And what exactly do sophos thinks will happen when macs hold the share of computer users? Ohhhh the virus writers will focus on macs you say? Wow I'm totaly shocked.
Try using any top of the range graphics card out today on a hot day and you will see why
Hint they get very hot, my x1900xt will hit late 90 degrees c on a hot day. Much like the wether we currenly have in the right now.

yep I've installed plenty and remote desktop is most certainly disabled upon install.

Sorry but you do not pay $80 you pay £39 which buys you roughly the same as about $55 would in the USA.
It's only a weakness in the dollar and strength of the pound which allows you to make such extrodinary claims.
Bootable usb sticks.....
No fee on my credit card for online purchases.

Because you wouldn't understand if I wrote colour as apposed to color would you?
Because PCI stands for "Peripheral Component Interconnect" PCI Express still connectes peripheral components to the computer.
So the name makes perfect sense dosn't it.

Come on engage your brain while you post.

Atlas?
I'm sorry are you joking?
Middle east is not "infinetly more united". If they are so united why has there been so much sectarian violance in Iraq since we invaded?
Do you know anything about middle easter culture at all?
Yeah but you could also buy a $100 amd cpu and clock it to the same speed as a fx 60, not seen one that won't hit atleast 2.7ghz. So argument is kind of bunk.

You know you can turn it off right? Just like you could use classic interface in XP.
Yeah but that pc would have been old when the 360 came out wouldn't it.
Most good software engineers like the guys at Id make theie games both opengl and directx and support the same features on both.
And what exactly do sophos thinks will happen when macs hold the share of computer users? Ohhhh the virus writers will focus on macs you say? Wow I'm totaly shocked.
what isp is that?
Thermaltake tidewave
For anyone who wants this for the cheap. It's what Saphire have used in this card and you can get them for about £45.
Warter is essential, haven't found a top end card yet which dosen't get too hot on a day like today.
