The Intel people and the AMD people usually have same back ground, same passion and same schools for their kids ... we are the same people ... living in the same areas ...Originally Posted by Movieman
I see a lot of teasing from a guy that works for a company.
and yes, maybe it qualifies as smack talk but not rude or flaming.
Now to be honest I'd be a little happier if Francois stayed out of the AMD threads and JF-AMD stayed out of the Intel threads.
The problem is that in some ways they are alike.
They are both proud of what their respective companies make and want to share what they can with all of us.
Am I goint to ban them? NO.
Have I in the past sent PM's to them asking them to cool it in the other companies thread? Yes..
Yea, sometimes it's tough being an admin here..
The problem is that sometime, people take the competition between intel and AMD a little bit too seriously ... let me give you some equation to work on ...
in 1999, Francois and Mike G from AMD where in Helsinky, to work on a famous Bench together ... and compete ... here is the equation
Francois x (intel) + Mike x (AMD) = 2 drunk guys having fun in helsinky in the evening ... sharing stories and so on ... making fun of each others mistake on the code ...

If you guys could see how we have cafe ALL THE TIME, or burgers together, may be you could realize how those "I am blue" or "I am green" are silly.
One of my good Buddy is QA manager for NV ...
We are the same and some time, humour is really humour, and you are looking for hate where there are none.
Best regards,
Francois, back to the subject
