    Not that I care that much, but why post a story later when it's not so much "news" anymore?
    Seriously, I know they have their reasons, but it just doesn't make sense.

    A neutron walks into a bar and orders a martini. When the bartender hands him the drink, the neutron asks, "How much do I owe you?"
    The bartender replies, "For you ... no charge."

  6. heat sinks by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0

    amd and intel keep making cpu's that run hotter and hotter.

    you'll need a neutronium heat sink before december 2002.

    too bad it'll weigh more than every computer ever made.
