Well some of you probably don't care but I will post <A HREF="http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2005/07/11/dixons_amd_intel/" target="_new">it</A> anyways.

I wonder where I've seen <A HREF="http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=214715#214715" target="_new">that</A> before...

But yeah. Maybe AMD should have, you know, stuck to facts? It'd be funny as hell if they actually got sued over this. **ROFL**

Now the real question is will Dixon's be suing Intel, for not giving equal oportunity?, or will they just be getting a larger rebate cheque this month?

AMD did this to themselves and now they want to burn Intel for simply playing the game.

Ah yes, the eleventh commandment. Thou shalt not attempt to take market share from Intel.

IANAL but...I wish Dixons good luck with any lawsuit. Court filings tend to fall under the canopy of "privileged speech." AMD can legitimately claim a lot of things in a civil complaint (even a public one) that might otherwise land them in hot water.

Dixons might possibly make a case if (and only if) they can convince a court that AMD's statement was false, that AMD knew it was false at the time, and that it was stated with malicious intent directed at Dixons. Screaming "NOT TRUE!!!" at the top of their lungs doesn't even get Dixons over the first hurdle. For that matter, it doesn't exempt Dixons from discovery obligations either, if that's what they were shooting for.

You missed the point AMD has had ample time to increase production thats the only way they will get market share yet they still have 2 fabs. The industry buys whats cheap and whats plentiful Intel can do both or one or the other it doesnt really matter.

Now do I think AMD has a legal position yes and no, I personally want to watch this pan out over the next few years.

No, you have missed the point. Amd has been capable of supporting a larger market share for some time. 4 years ago , they could handle 25%, they have been able to farm out a much larger amount to "others" since before that even. They even have contingency plans for catastophic failure.
Let's face it, thier litigation would be pointless, if they could not prove capacity.

I thought that according to the dead sea scrolls the eleventh commandment was "Thou shalt not serve the Lord's fish with grain." Which has caused the Catholic Church no end of worry as they'd been serving battered fish at their friday fish fries forever. I mean who knows how many of their own faith they've condemned to hell because of this? It's almost as bad as the tally of Jehovah's Witnesses that can't actually fit into heaven.

Of course it's the seventeenth and eighteenth commandments that really have some faithful concerned, as the seventeenth reads "Do not obey the eithteenth commandment." and the eighteenth reads "Obey the seventeenth commandment."

Not that many are very worried anyway, as it has been long believed by historians that somewhere after the first seven commandments Moses was actually under the influence of both mushrooms and fermented berries that he'd picked from the top of the mountain. God only knows what He had actually told Moses to write down. Which is probably why the second through fifth of the commandment tablets were accidentally left behind.

Dear Mr. Zoron:

We at the faculty of the University of San Moritz wish you to know that you have been nominated for a bachelor's degree in English. Our faculty have reviewed your extensive public work published on the internet and believe that for as little as $99.95 (US funds only, please) we would be able to award you this useful credential.

Our nominating committee recognize your accomplishments in the field of English in lieu of the hours of coursework that the other less up-to-date institutions ask for, and all that remains now is to finalize the needed tuition payment.

We regret that at present our registrar is only able to accept Western Union money orders, but trust that you will find this detail not out of the question.

Sincerely,
Rich Perez, Registrar of Students
University of San Moritz
