You funny, so there is only two options: Eitehr be a fanbox or if you

arent thats the proof you are? How can somebody not be a fanboy then? I

dont really get the "intelligent design" relation. Your reasoning sounds

of the government that UFOs exist is the proof that they exist.

I suppose it took so long because AMD is paranoid like many companies.

The interesting question in this thread would be why they did open up
