Kyle throws a [H]issy fit about CrossFire shipping late

[digitalwanderer]

And the following 250 page thread here

But of course! It's like the meal with the family after opening the presents on Christmas.

Probably the biggest issue here is perhaps the paper launch of products. Reminds me of the rant the was posted @ Tom's a spell ago.

I'm getting nose bleeds just thinking about Dave's review already.

 

[John Reynolds]

Do we all need to focus our chakras and harness positive energy into the earth's crystals for Dave's sake as he works through the night?

What a hot head.

Left him a different perspective:

I have gotten a handful of mail this morning from Canucks with their panties in a wad about me using the word "Canuck" to describe ATI. Let me just say this. If you are truly stupid enough to take that as a slam on a whole country, well then you probably should not be reading up about DIY tech stuff as you are a surely going to break it. ATI is a bunch of Canucks in my book and always has been. It is not the first time I have referred to them as Canucks and it will not be the last. I have never even thought of Canucks as being a derogitory term. And yes, we have been using it for years.

If you don't like the way I say it, then I invite you to never again view our little web page. So if you have a touch screen, I am sure you can easily touch the Red X in the top right hand corner of your browser with your pinky finger that is sticking up from your tea cup.

Go read Anandtech if you want PC. www.anandtech.com

Not meaning to start a fight or nothing Kyle, and I ain't disagreeing with your ATi commentary at all; but it's not that you call Canadians "Canucks" that has got people riled up, it's the way you use it to imply that all Canadians are dishonest that probably put the bee up their asses.

The bottom line is that the enthusiast hardware community wants products, not Canuck promises.

Check out your useage, replace "Canuck" with "Canadian" and it still is pretty insulting.

I've been following this thread, just not commenting....but I thought I might point out a slightly different viewpoint on this issue since I think you're not quite seeing their point.

Again, I mean no offense....just some friendly insight.

I'm putting on my face paints for the ritual in the backyard now, but I can't find my damned athame anywhere!

 

[Dave Baumann]

I doubt I'm going to get this up by the NDA time.

Are we sure the B3D review will hit the 'net tomorrow? And for how many cards and ASICs? The tea leaves suggest "a long way to go and a short time to get there", and that ATI didn't do the Euros any favors. . .

But I'll go sacrifice some chicken bullion cubes in Wavey's behalf in the back yard. . .

 

[MasterBaiter]

I'll send some Viagra his way if it helps too.

Just too many damned new features to write about, huh?...

Dang it, I do NOT want to have to sacrifice the puppies tonight Dave.....GET CRACKING!!!!

Oh, and Kyle replied to me:

Just to repeat myself, "If you are truly stupid enough to take that as a slam on a whole country, well then you probably should not be reading up about DIY tech stuff as you are a surely going to break it. "

Sorry, I'll butt out.

You posting an X1800 review tonight/tomorrow Kyle, or will you wait until they're available....

I think I'll leave that thread alone now, not a lot of good will come out of it if I don't.

 

[John Reynolds]

LOL You're going to set that TX redneck off, Diggie (says the OH redneck).

 

[Geo]

Res firma mitescere nescit.

Latin for "aww f*ck!"?

Oh. "A firm resolve does not know how to weaken."

I was angling more for the more vulgar translation of "once you've got it up, keep it up" as a little wordplay with the viagra offer. But we really don't want Dave and Neva making the beast with two backs tonight, do we?

I'm contemplating snapping a few puppy-hostage photos to inspire Dave....

Ah, the vulgate.

 

[digitalwanderer]

We will post the review and we will go out of our way to rip their lying Canuck asses a new one if they don't deliver as promised.

So a, "Fooled once, shame on you; fooled twice, shame on you", type attitude then?

Ok, now after you drop the handgrenade in the room you leave...right?

Works for Intel and their chipset designs.

DW you were right, btw. Caucks to me is like Yanks, it may have been an effort to be derogatory originally but no one much cares now.

Yeah, but I keep thinking you could replace "Canucks" with the name of any country and it still would be sort of dissing a country.

I'm not gonna push the point over there though, anytime I post it feels like I got a biiiig red bullseye painted on me.
