Ideally, one would like to have a clear and concise naming convention at all times, but it's just tough to be ideal at all times in an unideal world.
So because of the architecture, it should not have been renamed in the 400 series?
The conspiracy now goes to the legal system where the judge was in on it as well?
I was more pointing to the concept that if you behave a certain way long enough, you'll start assuming everyone else has the same motivations. It's part of projection. Cheaters assume everyone else is cheating. People who react emotionally assume that everyone else is being emotional. Apply the same logic to people who keep telling us that AMD is employing stealth forum marketing campaigns and see what conclusion you come up with.
i'm still waiting for those champions of justice to post a WARNING::SA about this card http://www.gpu-tech.org/content.php/174-Nvidia-Geforce-405-apparently-not-Fermi-based
why did it edit public service announcement?

As far as Rollo goes, I was not around back then. I don't know who he is, but did a little reading about him. So does he still bash AMD, or does he just promote Nvidia?
Hah, when AMD has a gimped card with DDR3 memory instead of DDR5, it's not ok, even though the DDR3 spec is in the name of the card, but when NVIDIA has a gimped card with an ambiguous description of 'Green' in the name it's ok.
Let's put it this way, he was banned for a time even on nvnews.net
Yeah, he was! Rollo is an enigma but I enjoy and enjoyed his posting though. His biggest gift was he was a lightning rod!
It would seem that way

i remember reading rollo/jethro's posts on rage3d and he seemed to be helpful there
Sounds like he was just a tool who did crap above and beyond anything he was actually asked or expected to do.
I don't judge today's 11,000 AMD employees, let alone the 10,000 that were there at the time, based on the questionable ethics and activities of Hector Ruiz.
I debated Rollo/Jethro for many, many years that goes back to 3dfxgamers and many of them at Rage. He was always a lightning rod but other gifts he had was thick skin and a wonderful sense of humor, but these positives were not enough for his abrasive posting style at times and would get banned and banned.
Rollo was a cause of misery...even getting people banned who dared question whether he was a stealth viral marketer which turned out to be true.Yeah, he was! Rollo is an enigma but I enjoy and enjoyed his posting though. His biggest gift was he was a lightning rod!
Perfect description of Stereotyping.We've been told that NVIDIA's focus group is not big. Last I heard it's now around 3-4 people? And one of them is Rollo. As far as I'm concerned, as long as that guy is in the focus group, it deserves all the criticism it gets for keeping someone like him in it.

He was a belligerent,condescending,mean poster who waged war against and predicted the death of AMD/ATi....which are not what a supposed 'Focus Group' was supposed to be doing.Nvidia would take themselves out of it by saying the members' views are their own and not necessarily those of Nvida.I can see why you and Nvidia like him so much.
Nvidia once had a distasteful slogan ''Crank that sh** up''.Well they certainly know how to do that.
Perfect description of Stereotyping.
The funny thing about Nvidia renaming, they have also done things that misled others into thinking a newer, better card was worse. ie, 8800gts 640mb (g80), and what followed later, 8800gts 512mb (g92) which was a much more powerful card. That could been re-named a new series altogether imo.When Nvidia skipped over the 300 series i think they did it right.they could rename the 200 series cards 300 series and leave the 400 series to dx11 only cards
If one student in a class who does something bad repeatedly and gets away with it all the time, and you belongs to that class, then what will you do?When the group is as small the focus group is, and having, and keeping Rollo in it damn well means the purpose of the focus group is not what it theoretically should be. This is not some group with hundreds or thousands of member so you can't claim that he gets through the cracks due to the large numbers, or that he's just one guy in a large group and doesn't represent the whole group.
If I were to belong to a small club with that small a number of members, and one member keeps behaving badly and gets away with it, I would not remain in that club.

If a convict has family relatives, does it mean all family relatives are, by your definition, bad people? What if (I mean if) you belongs to a family that exists one or more people who are bad, are you going to change your name and cease all trace of relationship and live as someone else?
Silly it may be. It is silly to stereotype one group of people for what one person in the group does/did.Those are some silly comparisons. Belonging to a family is not the same as belonging to a focus group.
What doo you want that group do? What will you do?Even so, if a family doesn't do anything to change and prevent its family member from say, being a bully, or racist, I'd interpret them as being tolerant or even cheering him on with those behaviors.
