- Is "rubbish" the new buzz word used by folks who don't have the
- foggiest idea what they are talking about? What with "is AMD rubbish"
- and "are Cache-controllers rubbish", I may just have to put that word
- in my kill file.
-
- Come on folks, use a little intelligence, or at least a little common
- sense, in your choice of words. AMD is one of the most successful chip
- makers around and cache controllers are definitely here to stay.
- Rubbish is simply not an appropriate word to describe either of these
- things. Admittedly, it is a good word to use if you want to start a
- flame war, but that doesn't seem to be the case with with either of
- these posts 8^).
-
- If you don't know much about something, try to do a little research
- before posting a question on it, and don't use silly words like
- rubbish in the article title (or in the article body). Article titles
- like these simply display the ignorance of the poster. Ignorance of
- both the subject and of the english language.
