The "Good" One Could Go Under
Published: Monday, April 8, 2002 | By: DennisIt looks like debt and bad business deals have caught up to Bob Guccione, so bad in fact that if not paid the trustee, the Bank of New York, could assume control of the company. They claim that the web is to blame.
"Pornographic images of every bent are now just a click away on the Web, often at no charge, and Penthouse, which once sold almost five million copies a month, now has a circulation of 650,000." -

Slow News Day
Published: Friday, April 5, 2002 | By: Dennisphj34r my l4c|< 0f n3w5! Actually it would seem that due to the holiday in Taiwan many news sites have nothing to post, or maybe all the geeks are playing in the sun.

Intel & AMD Benchmark War
Published: Thursday, April 4, 2002 | By: DennisI can remember how some hardware sites claimed that the "True Performance Initiative" rating system compared the new AMD processor to the Pentium 4 at similar clock speed, i.e. an Athlon XP1700+ was faster than an Intel P4 1.7GHz, for the most part this was true despite the Athlon processor only running at 1.47GHz. I guess everyone stopped reading after the intro since this isn't quite the case. Here is a snip: "Athlon XP chips come with a model number that indicates their performance relative to older Athlon chips, so that the Athlon XP 2000+ (at 1.67GHz) would offer roughly the same performance as an earlier Athlon clocking 2,000MHz (2GHz)."
