    I'm gonna start a new trend. Pirst Fosting. 'cause like First Posting is sooooo last season dahling.

    On a serious note, it's nice to see some public usage of Intel's new baby. Cost per CPU seems to be really high (I hear close to $9K for the 800Mhz model). How's that affecting Intel's usual low cost of building setups like this?

    Cool tech tho without a doubt.

    I work for SGI and it is the best place to work on the planet! Your friend is full of it, and you should be ashamed of wasting Internet bandwidth with such slander. Check your facts! Doy.

    All the open-sores types love warez, because all of a sudden, their useless certs and knowledge can't get them a job. My MCSE, on the other hand, pays for a nice townhouse, BMW 330, and a large gun collection. Oh ya, and clothes. Maybe one day you unix fucks will learn about Structure, Hudsons, Villa Roma, Gap, whatever. But when you where the same 2 pairs of pants and 2 shirts for several years, with a low rate of showering mixed in, don't be suprised when you don't shoot up the corporate ladder, you smelly fucks.

    I have money and i can AFFORD a good operating system.

    I will also BUY Windows XP when it comes out. If you actually BUY your OS, you WON'T have ANY trouble with ANY licensing.

    You actually said "can't afford a real-world operating system" . Are you too fucking stupid to download W2K. Or do you think you are superior because you pay for something others take sans fee?
