8/5     Why is Mac OS 10.6 $29 and 10.5.6 $129? Is it a typo?

12/4    A question to you old crufy alumni: So lately we've suggested
        VMs, and been asked why it's necessary. We've suggested top-of-the-line
        hardware and been told we don't need that much power. So I'd like to
        ask -- what exactly do you think the CSUA is supposed to _be_?

12/3    Are any of you CSUA alums working at Intel?  Is it possible that we
        might be able to hit Intel up for donated/partially donated (reduced
        price) Core i7 Xeons when they come out?  Who would be a good person
        to contact about something like that?  We're of course willing to put
        out for them - perhaps we'll tattoo an Intel logo on toulouse if that's
        what they want :-p  -- steven

Desert Bash 5 Desert Bash 5 home page In all seriousness, Intel generously sponsored this event, and went so far as to host it on its Chandler campus. The company supports gaming, and went one step farther than the usual sending of money and trinkets, it gave space to a bunch of anti-social twits like me. Desert Bash 5 location That is where the problem comes in, and it would take a knee-biting ingrate to point this out. Desert Bash 5 stats Yup, the lan party partially paid for by Intel, hosted at an Intel cutting edge plant, and with Intel logos all over the site, is dominated by AMD computers. The numbers above show about 60 per cent AMD to 38 per cent Intel, no word on what the stragglers are using. Either way, don't spread this around , it may be embarrassing for them.
