ATI already does some stuff I consider fairly wrong from a moral standpoint. Namely, making two versions of cards that, by all rights, are completely equal in ability, and using software to actually CRIPPLE one of them. By all rights, the crippled one costs the same amount to produce, and is equally capable, but they sell it for less and people getting them don't get to use that capability except via unliscensed drivers, or, preferably, a Catalyst driver hack. Really, that's some low behavior when you really think about it.
And now, for no good reason whatsoever, something about lasers. There is no z, because it's an acronym.
Light
Amplification
by the
Stimulated (not Ztimulated)
Emission
of
Radiation (And visible light IS radiation, it's just not harmful at all except a lot of it can hurt your eyes :D)
I think as a result of this completley unprovoked data burst, ztimulated is going to become a common word here...

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
