And what brand/scent/size candle would that be?

Anyone know of any incident where some over-zealous marketing addict resorted to naming his child after a product - happens quite occasionally with football teams here, so the likes of a CocaCola Hermione Bradley may not be so far removed...

It looks like the latest round of scuzzbags missed the big about making some posts first to make it look like you're a "real forum member" before making their pitch.

More Indian spam. I have banned their IP block.

What would you call that? Not guerrilla marketting. Not clever enough. I'd say more like street-bum marketting. Like when you're walking down the street and a guy smelling like cat urine runs over to you and screams "gime me dollar!".

Hmm. Pass.

ATI could've propogated that story to make Nvidia look bad.

There's no limit to people's potential for dishonesty. I wish I could say that the best product will win out in the end, but there's no support for the claim. How many of us are using Windows right now?
