Steps in the right direction. Why this is happening in 2005 rather than in 1998 you have to wonder, however... Saudi families appeal to militants to surrender gulf-news.com Meanwhile, Saudi preacher Dr Mohsen Al Awaji, who was involved in previous discussions with the wanted militants that culminated in the surrender of some of them, denied his knowledge of any of the 36 wanted men. But in a statement to Gulf News, he advised all those who know anything about the militants to inform the authorities since many have been questioned for their failure to provide the information. The article then goes on to tell how one Saudi guy who wasn't a terrorist but who's name was on their terrorist list surrendered. Great.

Elroy, As for the 2nd question, isn't the AMD lawsuit based largely on the evidence in a Japanese lawsuit against Intel (which I assume Intel lost)? I thought it was from the conclusions or at least evidence in that case that AMD gets its proof of Intel's monopolistic, predatory behavior with the OEMs. The JFTC came out with findings and "recommendations" (or orders, or guidelines, whatever) for Intel. Intel agreed to comply with the recommendations but disagreed with the JFTC's findings that Intel broke the law. There weren't any huge payouts because the findings came out of investigations and complaints, not lawsuits. Of course, two days after AMD filed suit here in America, AMD Japan files suit against Intel Japan. The lawsuit is for $55 million in damages, which to me isn't that much compared to the $3 billion Tad LaFountain of Wells Fargo is predicting AMD will win in the American lawsuit. Tenchusatsu
