Not good enough. You shouldn't have even said it in the first place no matter who it was directed at. Why couldn't you resist?

Why not? Because the AEG might not approve? :roll:

Tough mystery there.

Let's see, I'm the only one who arrived in the thread talking about FXs, so we sort of have to assume you're talking about me.

Why ask a question you already know the answer to? Don't BS me. I knew from the first read of Apoppins AEG thread that only the most hateful forum members would use this as an attack. And that is exactly what you did. 2 members I know of already got vacations for such comments. So, I guess it's not AEG's approval you need worry about. Is it.

A woman would bind herself to you?! :shocked:

I can see that:

Mrs. BFG: We're having waffles for breakfast dear.

BFG10K: You once bought microwave pancakes instead of waffles, they are a 10% worse bargain and have 3% fewer nutrients! They are CLEARLY the INFERIOR breakfast! How can I trust your choice of waffles!!!!

Mrs. BFG: (muttering) gun or lawyer?....gun or lawyer?.......gun or lawyer?

BFG10K: Furthermore, the breakfast was improperly tweaked with margarine rather than butter! Butter is CLEARLY the superior breakfast spread!

Mrs. BFG: May God have mercy on me......
BANG!

BFG10K: your......9mm...............is......infer.................ior......................<thump>

QFP and PMd to the mods. Must be trying to get the thread locked because you're losing your argument with GStanfor.

Times change when changes are needed. And they are needed. ;)

Glad to give you a laugh.

In the spirit of (much undeserved) fairness to BFG, you could probably substitute any of our names in that post. We all bicker about small differences in basically equivalent products, every day of our lives.

Hardly.

Just showing yet another example of your double standards. When you're flaming other people and they file a complaint with the mods then according to you they're tattling like "a snitch on a schoolyard". But when you do complain to the mods about a perceived insult it's suddenly okay. :disgust:

Not buying it Creig. You're always dredging up aged quotes of things I said, you think I'd ever do a search and look up anything YOU say?

LOL...errr...no.

I think you might be a "Rollo Fanboy"! I guarantee you think about me and what I've said a lot more than I think about you. :)

No one but Nvidia fanboi's can call this a good move for consumers. Nvidia is buying out ALi for many reasons but one of the main reasons is to limit competition to their Nforce chipset.

Less choice is never good for the consumer.

You've got to admit it's pretty funny though!

Whatever, Rollo. Or maybe you just need to work on your long term memory because you're completely contradicting what you've said previously.

You are assuming nVidia will simply throw away all ULi's previous work. I personally beleive (and hope) that will not happen. I can see ULi's products forming the basis of an entry level/lower end solution for nVidia, which they currently lack, as well as helping improve future nForce boards.

The deal is good for both ULi and consumers because, a very substantial portion of ULi's income in recent times has come from supplying southbridges for ATi motherboards - a source of income that would dry up once ATi's own southbridge is ready to fly, leaving ULi in a very precarious situation. See the Beyond3D thread I linked to earlier in this thread for details.

In fact if you look at the situation in the above light, I think a case can be made that nVidia is far more caring and compassionate towards other inustry players than ATi - after all ATi could just as easily purchased ULi, but chose not to - and they should have had better business relations than nVidia with ULI...
