It's (Almost) Hammer Time

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the please-amd-don't-hurt-'em dept.

thelizman writes "C|Net is catching up on the buzz with AMD's Hammer line of processors. Of note in the article is how AMD demonstrated their 64-bit contender using Linux and Windows, instead of just Windows. In reality, Linux will likely have 64 bit applications more quickly than Microsoft, and will see use on this processor more readily than your average WinTel machine, so you know...like...it only makes sense."

    In a surprising announcement, Richard Stallman and #2 Kernel hacker Alan Cox have decided to get married.

    "I love him, he is so sweet" cooed the stout Stallman. "He holds me and tells me I'm beautiful." The GNU guru has even said he will take a shower for his bride-to-be. "I will put aside my irrational fears of water, a special treat for my wedding night. I will even clean the cobwebs and dingleberrys from my backside so that Alan can give me the rim job he has always wanted."

    The power duo promised to continue their lifelong dream of free software for everyone. "Me and Richie just fit," Cox said while munching on 3 day old pizza and clearing out the cock-roaches from his hair. "I love him and he loves me and we are just going to be sooo happy! He promised to buy me a puppy in the fall." Cox said he plans to wear a buckskin shorts and a camoflauge T-Shirt to his wedding while Stallman will appear in the priestly robes that he has become known for. He even promised to get the large poo stain near the rear cleaned for the big event. Good luck guys!

    I am sorry but ........ my opinion on this is those that have the mental capacity to use Linux , DO , and those that dont , use windows.

    Looking at the percentages of desktop use ... this is a pretty scarry though

    Bah, you're just jealous because you couldn't think of a clever pun first! :-)

    Seriously, man, don't get too excited about this. Lighten up! See? I'm back were I started, at 2 (because Karma>25, I guess), so all's well that ends well...though I am a bit hurt that you didn't think my pun was funny (I sure thought so).

    BTW I use Linux and Windows daily...
