Linus: Praying for Hammer to Win

An anonymous reader writes "The boys at Intel can't be happy with the latest opposition to the IA-64 instruction set. According to this Inquirer scoop, Linus himself has weighed in, and it appears he's putting his eggs in the x86-64 basket. In the original usenet post, he goes so far as to say that 'We're ... praying that AMD's x86-64 succeeds in the market, forcing Intel to make Yamhill their standard platform.'"

One endorsement down, one to go

Now if AMD can get the endorsement of "The Carmack", they will really be happy.

Carmack and Linus look very similar. I think they are actually the same person living a double life. He may fool you with that phoney norwegian accent, but I know the truth.

So what's next Coke of Pepsi?

Thank alot,

The Other Lord's Prayer?

[randomErr]

Our Linus which art in Santa Clara, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kernal come.
Thy will be done in desktops, as it is in servers.
Give us this day our daily rpm.
And forgive us our crons jobs, as we forgive our cron jobers.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from Microsoft:
For thine is the kernal, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
