my personal favorite:

Chickan · Nov 21, 2005

lol that's pretty good.

I like the one about not being able to get a fire permit

DocFaustus · Nov 21, 2005

Ahhh, good humor for Monday morning. Thanks.

(cf)Eclipse · Nov 21, 2005

wow, talk about a direct slap to the face

KaptainBlaZzed · Nov 21, 2005

HaHaHa, That is funny

D3v01D · Nov 21, 2005

It's a good laugh, I like number 7 myself.

ScHpAnKy · Nov 21, 2005

Very funny, I'm surprised they haven't been sued with slander

They cant be sued for slander, slander is spoken. Libel is printed.

(cf)Eclipse · Nov 21, 2005

that would a nice change of pace though, a lawsuit for libel (i'm sure there's been lots slander too, but that's another story)

tdg · Nov 21, 2005

That's pretty funny. After living in Intels shadow for 30 years they have the right to toot their own horn now.

incomudro · Nov 21, 2005

^^^^ Amen. GO AMD (i think they need a bigger stick tho)

RavenD · Nov 21, 2005

lmao. I like number 8 myself. And a bunch of the others for that matter.

Jasonx82 · Nov 21, 2005

lol...

#2 is partially obsolete now that Dell is selling some A64s

2.Dell told them they weren't allowed to participate

My personal favorite is #4: They couldn't get a permit from the fire department to emit that much heat

Selling boxed processors means beans to me. When they start selling systems with AMD in them, then they can get out of the dog house.

I'm liking the new ballsy AMD. A strong global ad campaign could probably boost them a lot while they have the advantage.

Dillusion · Nov 21, 2005

hahaha thats funny- glad to see AMD has a sense of humor.

They've had one for awhile. Ever see the Prescott starter kit? Or whatever it was called. It involved oven mits and a fire extinguisher or something like that.

Seems that Dell will be selling AMD systems in the future: http://www.anandtech.com/news/shownews.aspx?i=25318
If I were AMD I think I'd take this off since Dell might get offended.

This is a funny list, no matter what.

Yea that was good. This new pdf is pretty funny too.

Haha, that's some funny stuff.

Didnt catch that one, glad this was posted tho

Dan_D · Nov 21, 2005

I couldn't remember what it was called. I am glad someone took the time to google it.

IceWindus · Nov 21, 2005

ROFL! Pwned!!!! I love this one, being a Titanic Historian.

Bona Fide · Nov 21, 2005

LMAO @ "The stickers used to package the cores melted" and "Couldn't get a permit from the fire dept for that much heat emission"

A bit immature on AMD's part, but almost entirely accurate nonetheless.

Kil4Thril · Nov 21, 2005

It isn't really "immature" since AMD's core audience is the <35 y.o. computer geeks. I fall in that category, so I find it funny as hell.

apcor · Nov 21, 2005

Anyone in here own AMD stocks?

If so how has it been doing the past 5 yrs and what are predictions?

A friend of mine has it. He reports he rarely if ever makes any money on it.

Well that's the result of this. It's not the inverse. I'm sure AMD, unlike DFI or Falcon, do not plan to stay within the computer geek demographic. Their dual and quad Opterons are straight examples of this, as well as the Sempron and Turion line. This is hurting them, in my opinion.

But, being a <25 kid, I find it hilarious as well. Just that AMD is shooting themselves in the foot...

Honestly, I doubt the bean counters and oxygen-thief C[I,E,F]O's are gonna ever see this document. If they do happen to see it, I hope they laugh all the way to the bank with the $$$ they saved on the processors and power / cooling equipment to run them.

Go AMD go.

LOL I bought many when it was $3.10 I will make money when I need to.

Don't sell just yet...I think AMD's about to go real high real soon.

Yes, I bought several hundred when they were at a bit under 8 dollars a share. Today they broke 27 dollars a share.

END · Nov 21, 2005

yup 27.00 I am hoping they go up to like 40. at 4000 lets see.
