I've just been thinking (whoa, news right there!) about the common fixes that are given to resolve problems:

Change the driver,
Uninstall it or remove it
Try a different one
Change ________ in BIOS
Reinstall it
Flash your BIOS
Pray to tech gods
Plead to tech gods
Grovel/weep to tech gods
Patch it to ____ version
Try the Compatibility app
Reinstall Windows
Make obscene gesture at computer
Swear at computer
Use "Gallagher" method to resolve problem;)
Just buy a whole new system
Switch to new OS:D

Intel...Advertising for AMD?

Force is strong with this one master.
He is going to wreak havoc to all of our jobs. We all can sense it can't you.

Truth is guys make something foolproof, somebody will make a better fool.
I think our jobs are secure

True!
If IBM was making all the SW, than all of us would be flipping burgers or pulling pints probably

PS. There is nothing wrong with flipping burgers etc. It is just a figure of speech.
