Saturday, March 13, 2004Intel has announced that its future processors will use performance numbers rather than true megahertz ratings. AMD has done this for a while (the Athlon XP 1900+ ran at a clock speed of 1.6 ghz, for example, but had more instruction per clock-- and better performance-- than a P4 1.6). I can hardly wait for the Intel Super Exxxtreme 4500+ Maxx!!! CPU, which performs as well as a celeron 2.4. Then AMD will respond by releasing the Super 3l33t 4900 Special Edition, and before long we'll have no idea which chip is the better performer, and more importantly if it's worth upgrading from a "lowly" 3 gHz processor. On the other hand, maybe AMD will respond by signing a lucrative endorsement deal with Samuel L. Jackson. "The Athlon 64: when you absolutely, positively have to frag every last motherfucker on the map, accept no substitutes." Or, better yet: Me: So what CPU is in this machine? Salesman: The one that says "Bad Mother Fucker" on it. Me: Sold! posted by Nate on 7:12 PM link Friday, March 12, 2004Mmmm... scotch. posted by Nate on 11:29 PM link Wednesday, March 10, 2004Say it ain't so! Tom Jones is giving up open collared shirts and leather pants. Sure he's 63, but if Hugh Hefner can still wear a smoking jackets and twins, Tom can still wear his trademark leather trousers. He is The Man, after all. But alas, it is not to be. (Sniff.) End of an era. Swankypimps everywhere are saddened. posted by Nate on 10:38 PM link Tuesday, March 09, 2004And I always thought the F. in John F. Kerry stood for "Forbes." The Boston Herald reports that John Kerry's a pottymouth. I guess he's just trying to express the enormity of his outrage and the depth of his concern by using the most debased words possible. He's an educated, articluate person driven crazy by frustration, throwing his hands in the air, and shouting the F Word. Or something. Really, he's just a jerk gunning for the Mtv Rock the Vote crowd, who will think that this is a reflection on his honesty. As I type, I'm sure there are a hundred college newspaper editorials being written on how Kerry's bad language symbolizes that he cuts through the bullshit of politics as usual. (Next paragraph: I, College Newspaper Guy, am able to use the word "bullshit" in an editorial context since a Serious Man like John Kerry can use the F Word for emphasis.) Four years ago in the presidential debates Al Gore menacingly lumbered toward George Bush; I thought he had snapped and was going to punch his lights out. Maybe this year John Kerry and his pals in the Wu Tang Clan will go a step farther and administer a presidential beatdown on live TV. If GWB disrespects your voting record and gets all up in yo bidness, sometimes ya gotsta stomp the punk ass bitch, know what I'm sayin'? It would be like politics imitate the Dave Chappelle skit "When Keepin' It Real Goes Wrong." posted by Nate on 11:43 PM link
