  1. Indeed. Intel stagnated during the six-year period when their pitifully antiquated Netburst microarchitecture was slaughtered by AMD's K8 in practically every benchmark. Dell, IBM, and other vendors began offering AMD-based products during that time because Intel simply couldn't keep up. Only after a massive restructuring effort and the eventual emergence of the revolutionary Core did Intel begin to regain their place at the top. The FTC's naming of nVidia is even more absurd. Intel does not make a discrete GPU. Their Larrabee project, something that would have competed with nVidia, has been delayed. Nvidia's market share dwarfs that of AMD/ATI, the only meaningful competitor in the discrete GPU market. My guess is that nVidia is gunning for the x86 ISA to finally be able to make their own CPUs.
  2. Just joined under the name 'Ordr'. Norway, Svalbard.
  3. Andrew, has Schiff ever explained his social and national defense positions? Edit: this article in The American Conservative describes him as "pro choice and pro gay". Good.
  4. I'm very happy to hear this. Quite the birthday present for me .
  5. "Human Action" would be a pretty good starting point.
  6. Andrew is right about the political demographics of Fairfield County. It's a pretty interesting mix that might be receptive to Schiff.

  8. I just read this. It's pretty interesting .
  9. This is almost the exact same plot of an awful Cinemax soft-core porn movie called "Almost Pregnant". I think Dom DeLuise was in it.

  12. Shooting himself in the head would put tiny bits of lead into the environment that were otherwise safely contained in the bullet.
  13. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/poli...icle5950442.ece Somewhere, somehow, Thomas Malthus is furiously masturbating to this article.
  14. There's some fodder for a new NY Post cartoon.
  15. http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/02....nuclear.plant/ Hopefully Israel will see this as the last straw.
  16. That will turn a 1 page thread into an 80 page thread, lol.
