Ninja Hypothesis
Published: Tuesday, September 11, 2001 | By: DennisThe Ninja Hypothesis, a site not about ninja's but rather about movies.
"a tentative assumption, stating that any sample of entertainment could be improved by the inclusion, or addition, of one or more ninja, made in order to draw out and test its logical or empirical consequences. "
I cannot say I agree with his movie reviews but I can agree that some movies could benefit from the addition of Ninja's. -

Published: Monday, September 10, 2001 | By: DennisIt would seem that VIA is in the mood to play hard ball with Intel saying that Intel's own chipset the 845 infringes VIA's patents among other things.
As I understand it this is what started it all.
"Via has already released its own chip set, the P4X266, that supports DDR, however the company has not obtained a license from Intel for the 400MHz bus used with the Pentium 4. The company maintains Intel does not have a patent that covers the bus." -

Does Linux need Microsoft??
Published: Friday, September 7, 2001 | By: DennisThis is a very interesting article that gets you thinking. I even thought back to a Linux special I saw in TV where the question was asked "When a driver doesn't exist how do you go about getting one?" The answer was something like "We will use a Microsoft version as a basis and port it over to Linux."
