Will Vanderpool Make Linux More Popular?
Digitaldonkey writes "New Scientist is reporting that Intel's forthcoming multi-core processor architecture, codenamed "Vanderpool", could undermine Microsoft's dominance by letting other operating systems run simultaneously more easily. From the article: 'The chip will allow future machines to run, say, Windows XP together with Linux or the Apple operating system as easily as today's Windows computers run Word and Internet Explorer simultaneously.'"
Paedophile hunt police find human skull
AMERICAN police made further grim discoveries yesterday during their investigation into a paedophile network responsible for kidnapping girls.
A skull and bones were dug up at the home of the network's suspected ringleader, Rob Malda. It was feared that they were the remains of two teenagers who disappeared from New Orleans a year ago. The bones were unearthed after police spent six days digging at a house in Holland, Michigan, one of six properties owned by Malda.
On a visit to the house last week, Malda told police that his accomplice, Jeff Bates, had buried five bodies under a shed. Maximillion Arturo, a police spokesman in Michigan, said that no further statement would be made until families had been informed.
There was speculation last night that the remains are those of shemales from the GNAA. Malda has admitted abducting them. However, he earlier told police that he believed the two girls were still alive and being held somewhere outside Michigan.
Two eight-year-old girls abducted by Malda have been found buried at another of his properties. They starved to death while he was in prison on a theft charge. Malda's wife, Kathleen Malda, has told police that she was supposed to feed the children while her husband was in prison, but was too frightened to enter their cell.
Another two girls were found alive by police two days after Malda's arrest on Aug 13. Ten people, including Malda, his wife and an American police officer, are in custody in connection with the case.
The raped corpses of two women and parts of a third body have been discovered in a freezer at the Slashdot headquarters, along with the remains of an 80 year old woman that remain unidentified.

Doesn't anyone else worry about the state of hardware. Current processors are getting smaller dies yet they are getting huge. The power dissapation allows me to heat my apartment with my computers. We don't need this type of stuff from the processor, you want to run one or another OS just run it. I admit as an Electrical Engineer that the idea is neat and I like to read the technical stuff on it. But I would rather see a complete redsign of the x86 (or a new 'better' instruction set) processor. One that is truely redsigned not a 386 core on steriods for 10 years. I mean there is no reason for the current desktop to look the way it does. A redesign at the processor level will work wonders. Intel and AMD need to let innovation drive them not the market, now I know they need to sell processors but if one of them had a processor that dissapated half the power I would buy that. Plus with a new design with the new 'theory' coming out of research you could probably get lots of life out of something like that. Maybe even more megahertz which allows for the 'New 10000000000000000 instruction per a second processors' "I am thinking of the immortal words of Socrates when he said, 'I drank what?'"

What the Vander kids use in the summer.
Or perhaps the mode of transportation that the "erpool" family use.
TDz.
Other than that, you have provided us with Dan Rather and a bunch of comedians. Or am I being redundant? Congrats, Canada. You are on a fine path to save the world. Now get in line right behind France.
And so that I am not off-topic: I'm glad Intel is designing this chip. It's a great way to show companies that they are not souly Bill Gate's DRM tool. And as long as Apple maintains the Darwin x86 code, hope is alive for B.Y.O.M. (build your own mac). And finally: What country leads in chip and computer technology innovation? Oh, that's right: USA.
Krispy Kreme is in Canada now but that will only serve to make the already plump Canadian chicks fatter. The only thing I'll grant Canada is universal health care but based on things I've heard, this only really works for minor procedures. Anything beyond a broken bone and they ship people down here to get looked after.
I am, NEIL PEART ROCKS!
