To level the playing field, both platforms use DDR memory which make for some interesting results."

    I am running Linux on Dual Athlon XPs. Does that make it Linux XP?

    Perhaps they should have used the test machines to host their website...

      The last /.ing of LinuxHardware was due to provider bandwidth rather than server constraint. I'm guessing this is the same issue.

      Well, maybe they ditched all the load balancing and extra hardware and placed only these machines as the webserver. It's a new benchmark: how long does a system last a nice /.'ing?

      >Why would it be tough to be bilingual when you get hit in the head btw? :)

      The quote was from Harold Reynolds during the Little League World Series (the second to last round, I believe)... a bilingual 12 year old got hit in the head with a pitch, and apparently started talking to his coach in the wrong language... It struck me funny...

    Mine involved encoding it in white space between words and having the words describe the encoding.

    Oh! No! Gotta ban spaces now!!

    Here comes the "offtopic" moderation...

    I tried to access the site but could not. The /. effect can now be classified as a DoS attack.

    From the posts below I have extrapolated that /. is Anti-Microsoft, Anti-Intel, Anti-any-sort-of-establishment.

    I mean, the points are valid. But doesn't anyone care that Intel has proved their chips are far more reliable under heat-emergencies than the AMD CPUs?

    Yes, the Palomino has improved on this but it's like buying a car. Sure a Porshe Boxster is fast, and costs a fraction of the 911. But which car is a proven vehicle?
