The question now is whether this is part of a seasonal slide--the second quarter is traditionally weak for semiconductor companies--or the effect of a nasty price war initiated by chip king Intel after AMD began to eat into its market share.

Good times!
Many thanks to the Mardock/Ratzlaff family for having us share in their Independence Day celebrations. And especially Mitch and Kelliegh for opening up their home. What a fantastic time of fellowship! And yea! for scrumptous summer season foods! Barbeque chicken perfectly done on the grill. Yum-yum potato salad and corn on the cob. To die for strawberry-rhubarb, peach, and strawberry-rasberry-blueberry pies and tarts. Getting wired off Fanta.
Praise the Lord for His countless blessings! Praise the Lord for His favor upon our nation! Praise the Lord for our freedom to worship Him!

Undeniably and unequivocally...
...is our nation founded upon Christianity. The following quotes are from a few of our nation's first Fathers and leaders.
"It cannot be emphasized too clearly and too often that this nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here."
- Patrick Henry, May 1765, Speech to the House of Burgesses
"We Recognize No Sovereign but God, and no King but Jesus!"
- John Adams and John Hancock, April 15 1775
"God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?..."
- Benjamin Franklin, Constitutional Convention of 1787
"I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus."
- Thomas Jefferson, 1781, Notes on the State of Virginia

July 4th
"The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principals of Christianity... I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God."
– John Adams' letter written to Abigail on the day the Declaration was approved by Congress
"Why is it that, next to the birthday of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day [the Fourth of July]?...Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's mission upon earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity"
- John Quincy Adams July 4th, 1837 when he delivered a Fourth of July speech at Newburyport, Massachusetts

Update: Now's the time
"Microsoft denies WGA kill switch in Windows XP".
Not very suprised at all:
If you are unsure about a linux distro, try out Mandrake, Suse, or Ubuntu.
Not very suprised at all:
...Microsoft has taken considerable heat from consumers and the media, who have likened WGA to spyware that has sometimes inaccurately labeled legal copies of Windows as pirated.
If you are unsure about a linux distro, try out Mandrake, Suse, or Ubuntu.

Now's the time
You never know. MS just might try and do this. This is the perfect opportunity to convert to Linux and avoid booting into an unaccessible Windows machine. Take a look at DistroWatch (link provided to the right) and try one out. You'll have fun =).
