    The warning is a mere formality. The options probe, however, is not.

    Would it be legal for Intel and AMD to do this?

    It would almost certainly be found to be illegal under competition/anti-trust laws as an unlawful suppression of competition.

    LCD - good enough for gaming?

    Why would it remove analogue electronics inside the monitor? Woudln't you have to convert the digital signal to analogue in order to drive the CRT and thus need the same components post D/A conversion as any analogue CRT? Are you saying a CRT electron gun can be driven digitally?

    LCD - good enough for gaming?

    I swapped a few months ago from twin Sony F520 21" CRTs to a single Dell 2405FPW because I couldn't justify the space the CRTs took when we need more space for a baby due this April. I loved the Sonys (I still have them in storage), but I don't regret the change. I am not disturbed by any...

    Pioneer Prepares to Launch Blu-ray Disc Drive

    It's been tried before with DVD-RAM. I quite liked them, but the market said no. I still have one of the disks and a panasonic DVD-RAM recorder that will take it.

    The 50 Greatest Gadgets of the Past 50 Years

    Lots to argue about there! Random rants: I agree that the RAZR is a very weak choice. It runs on 2003 software for Heaven's sake. I would also say that it is a very much US-biased list. Sure the US is responsible for a very large proportion of the best consumer technology, but we Europeans...

    Who still listens to Queen?

    Perhaps he means that Freddie's voice is the equivalent of a whole legion's voices singing in harmony? (I'm in a charitable mood:grin: )

    I've taken a real life IQ test

    Was this by any chance a test run by Scientologists? (the pills bit made me suspicious)
