About 15 years ago, some actor, I don't remember who, pronounced the word protein "pro-dee-in" in a TV commercial. Next thing you know, everbody is saying things like "Meat is a good source of pro-dee-in". The word is PROTEIN...there isn't even a "D" in it. I know what you mean, Crashman, all it takes is one person to say something wrong and everyone follows.
crashman i am telling you...screw computers...you should become a collage professor...
Personally i don't care how people talk...more what they say...i have meet alot of people who use the worst grammer immaginable however are actually smart people.
Jeeez i can't think of any idioms...<A HREF="http://www.eslcafe.com/idioms/id-list.html" target="_new"> so i cheated </A> hmm...someone should post in the poll forum "what is your favorite idiom?"
There is no smell better than fried silicon

endyen,
Regarding "Intel may also be able to care less about it's consumers, but probably not by much".
You're obviously unaware that a portion of Intel's employee bonus is based upon having an adequate (and very high) percentage of our customers (primarily OEM's) rate Intel as their "Vendor of Choice". That, to me, is not the policy of a company that doesn't care about its customers.

So why should intel develop a mechanism to detect overclocking

They have done it already.

though overclockers cost intel money by turning lower performance parts into high performance ones, overclockers also tend to upgrade more than your average user (see: rush to get 1.8a's, 2.4b's, and now 2.4/2.6Cs), so they could make up for lost revenue by extra sales, in the end

To a certain point yes, when I buy a pc I generally let it run 'stock' until I begin to feel the itch to upgrade, then I overclock the bloody hell out of it. 
Put's off the urge to upgrade for a few more months... saves money in the long run.

And it's fine to have that opinion. However, not everyone else does. Personally, my opinion is that unless it was said intentionally, it should be said intelligently.English idioms are acceptable in informal communication! In my opinion
For example, take the 'word' irregardless. It's even in Microsoft's spelling dictionaries. People commonly misuse it to mean 'without regard'. Yet the word irregardless is a double-negative. Regardless is the <i>proper</i> word for 'without regard'. <i>Ir</i>regardless is the negation of 'regardless'. So anyone who says irregardless is actually saying that they do regard.
It's just one of those words that people throw around without thinking and only makes them sound stupid. If people <i>want</i> to sound stupid, I won't stop them. I might inform them of their mistake, but I certainly won't <i>force</i> them to use that grey fleshy thing between their ears. My opinion is that stupid is as stupid does. If you sound like a moron, then you just might be one. (Why do I feel like this is an intro to 'You might be a redneck if...'?)
The only exception is, of course, when done intentionally for humor.

So are you saying that is regardless, irregardless, disregardless, or not without regard to, or perhaps just without any regard? Perhaps it's all just illrelevent.
Lookie what I found on dictionary.com (interesting at least):
ir·re·gard·less ( P ) Pronunciation Key (r-gärdls)
adv. Nonstandard
Regardless.
[Probably blend of irrespective, and regardless.]
Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.

interesting...but will intel impliment it...if yes i suppose that would be a reason to go amd...i wunder if anyone will fgure out a way around this...after all, you just have to find a way of jumping the circut and you would be home free...my guess is that chipset/board manufacturers will impliment an overclocking feature if intel does indeed impliment this mechanism...just like the nforce2 unlocks the amd chips...
I remember years ago when intel started locking the multiplyer on cpus everyone though overclocking would die...but it is still here...
All of this is only true if indeed intel does decide to impliment this feature (of no real putpose IMO).
There is no smell better than fried silicon

I wonder why intel have to deter o/c if they can detect it.
Now they can unlock the multipliers(there is no risk to them by doing that).Let the common man work with a O/c computer!!!!
Another point is ,if intel unlock the multiplier, the hardcore AMD fans will rethink.U know, now intel is cheaper than AMD in highperfomance and middle level processors.As this hardcore people are surely hardware freaks they will be start thinking in the intel way(their strong argument is AMDs overclockability and price,right).
So let us hope Intel will use the O/c detection(not deter) in the right way!

all depends how you look at it...more overclockers would buy good...but people will end up saving $$ and buying a lesser cpu that they normally would so they could O/C
