There are a few types sohai in DotA that are very annoying. They don’t understand DotA is a multiplayer game.

1. He joinned a 10 players public game and after he was pawned 2 times, he left the game. NOOB SOHAI.

2. After the game started, he type in -random to pick a random hero. I thought he is a pro. End up that he didn’t like the hero and he immediately left the game. ACT-LIKE-A-PRO SOHAI.

3. A teammate dropped off from the game leaving his teammates some items, he took all the items himself without sharing with his teammates. Worst, he sold all of them for 50% gold instead of giving to teammates who need them. SELFISH SOHAI.

4. For the whole game, he solo from the start to the end. He farms creeps or kills hero all by himself. Or course, he dies alone too. Why don’t he just play with the computer AI if he like to solo so much? SOLO SOHAI.

5. He scold people NOOB while he himself is the real NOOB. While everyone is already level 15, he is still level 9. He killed 0 but get killed 18. SUPER NOOB SOHAI.

6. Almost all DotA games is at least 1 hour long. But after 30min in the game, he told all the players he had to leave because his cyber cafe package was going to time-out! %^*$#^% HEAD-NEED-TO-BE-CHOPPED-OFF SOHAI.

7. “Sorry Guys I have to leave because my dad ask me to go supper”, “I have to leave because my mum is very mad now”, “I have to leave to take dinner” … LAME EXCUSE SOHAI.

8. He ‘tunjuk perasaan’ after his teammates say something he don’t like. He want to revenge his teammates. So he intentionly and repeatly get himself killed by the enemies and say, “I don’t care, I’ll feed them!”. ACT-LIKE-A-KID SOHAI.

9. He saw 4 enemy heroes partying and he thought he can kill 4 of them. So he run to them and before he manage to hit once, he was already a dead duck. BRAINLESS SOHAI.

10. When all of us are busy farming peacefully without any battles, suddenly he get killed. This doesn’t make any sense. Who killed him? After we read the sub title, he was killed by neutral creeps!!! DAI SOHAI!

Advanced Micro Devices, the No. 2 supplier of computer processors, is close to a deal to buy graphics chip maker ATI for $5.5 billion, a source familiar with the situation said on Friday.Any such deal would shake up the processor industry, which is witnessing a battle over market share between AMD and larger rival Intel.

ATI is one of two major graphics chips makers, along with rival Nvidia, and is a big supplier of chipsets – the cluster of secondary chips and interfaces that surround a computer’s processor – to both AMD and Intel. Unless talks break down, a deal could be announced as early as Monday, the source said.

ATI declined to comment, and an AMD spokesman could not be immediately reached for comment.Shares of ATI rallied on Friday on renewed speculation that a deal was close at hand.Rumors that AMD could purchase the Canadian graphics chip maker surfaced in late May when an analyst suggested the move could make AMD more competitive with Intel. The speculation sent ATI shares surging about 10 percent.

Some analysts have questioned the rationale for an AMD-ATI merger, and others were surprised that the speculation received no attention from analysts during AMD’s earnings conference call on Thursday.

No wonder AMD stock fall like shit for the last few weeks. I traded 4 call options last month. 3 made money and 1 lose money. Guess which is the one that lose money!!! It’s not that AMD or ATI is a bad company. But the ‘pattern’ was that if COMPANY A acquire COMPANY B, COMPANY A stock price will fall while COMPANY B stock price will rise. For example, when Bumiputera Commerce want to acquire Southern Bank, Bumiputera Commerce stock price will fall wall Southern Bank stock price will rise. That’s how people response to stock market. It’s all human phychology and nothing related to the ‘fundamental’ aspect.

Just noticed from streamyx site here. The package cost RM188 which is RM100 more expensive than the 1mbps package! But it comes with modem.

Very disappointed with the price. I hope in the future there will be a cheaper ‘modem not included’ package.

Zidane says insults to mother, sister caused head butt (Associated Press)

PARIS — French soccer star Zinedine Zidane apologized for head-butting an Italian opponent during the World Cup final, saying Wednesday that he was provoked by insults about his mother and sister.

“I apologize, to all the children” who watched the match Sunday, Zidane said in his first, highly awaited comments about the act of violence that marked the end of his career.

Zidane did not specify exactly what Italian defender Marco Materazzi said that enraged him, but that it was insulting to his sister and mother.

“I would rather have taken a punch in the jaw than have heard that,” Zidane said, stressing that Materazzi’s language was “very harsh.”

Zidane and Materazzi exchanged words after Italy broke up a French attack in extra-time. Seconds later, Zidane lowered his head and rammed Materazzi in the chest, knocking him to the ground.

Zidane was sent off, reducing France to 10 men. Italy went on to win in a penalty shootout.

The France captain said he felt no regret for his act, “because that would mean [Materazzi] was right to say all that.”

At nearly the same moment Zidane was appearing on French TV, excerpts from an interview that Materazzi gave to Italian sports daily Gazzetta dello Sport were posted on the newspaper’s Web site.

“I didn’t say anything to him about racism, religion or politics,” Materazzi told the Gazzetta. “I didn’t talk about his mother either. I lost my mother when I was 15 and even now I still get emotional talking about her. Naturally, I didn’t know his [mother] was in the hospital, I give her my best wishes.”

“He’s always been my hero, I admire him a lot.”

For days, sports fans around the world have been riveted by the question: What could Materazzi have said to set Zidane off? Media from Brazil to Britain hired lip readers to try to figure it out, then came up with different answers.

Materazzi has acknowledged he insulted Zidane, without giving specifics.

Materazzi spoke to Zidane in Italian. Zidane, who played several years for Juventus in Turin, speaks Italian.

Despite the head butt, Zidane was awarded the Golden Ball award for best player at the World Cup — though FIFA president Sepp Blatter has suggested Zidane could be stripped of the honor.

“The winner of the award is not decided by FIFA, but by an international commission of journalists,” Blatter said in Italian newspaper La Repubblica. “That said, FIFA’s executive committee has the right, and the duty, to intervene when faced with behavior contrary to the ethics of the sport.”

In France, many have already pardoned Zidane, even without his explanation. A poll published Tuesday in Le Parisien newspaper showed that 61 percent of the 802 people questioned forgave Zidane.

ahYap, “Fxxx You Materazzi!”.
