Good stuff, although the rumoured AMD buyout/takeover probably is as Colin said – some analyst looking to get some feedback on his wet dream.
Speaking as someone who daily converts multiple .docs into .pdfs, if would’ve been great to have the conversion ability built in from the get-go, but you know how it gets when it comes to licensing and intellectual property.
Nice drop of the “3-2-1 Contact” theme tag, now if you guys can find a way to somehow work in the theme from ‘The Baseball Bunch’ next week I’ll name my next kid after you.
Ok, you lost me on ‘The Baseball Bunch.’ Will have to consult the wikipedia.
Which will steer you wrong I’m sure.
3:24: Seriously, I think Colin actually _understates_ how much you harassed us to have our characters ready to play.
10:30: AMD is trying to compete with Intel, yes? And Intel sells entire chipsets including their own gpus? AMD’s only competitor to that is one that integrates NVIDIA’s chips, and that’s a partnership. I’m sure the margins are much better on a wholly owned subsidiary than it is on a partnership.
11:32: going completely off the deep end here, carl…
16:11: The pirate party was started by people affiliated with the pirate bay to advocate for fair use rights and the like.
17:34: Yes, if you’ve been charged, the cops can seize all kinds of shit for evidentiary purposed. Hell, even if you haven’t been charged. Remember the Secret Service raid on Steve Jackson Games? The one that almost led to the company closing up shop? And eventually to the founding of the EFF?
Well, color me wrong on the AMD/ATI deal
