IBM to Drop Itanium
Hack Jandy writes "Xbitlabs is reporting that IBM chose not to persue Itanium in their next generation server lineup because of the "market acceptance issues" of the platform. They will still continue with new revisions of Xeon servers, however. With IBM's investments in Power, I can't help but think the writing was already on the wall. The article also hints that IBM might start using Power in their high end server products."
... Apple drops acid ;-)
Expanding your written vocabulary with words you've heard spoken is a good thing. Pointing out mistakes can also be helpful. Telling people not to bother trying, however, is just retarded. Try growing up, Dun Malg. You might find you like it.
Grow up? Here? Never! Slashdot is so full of assclowns and jerkoffs that it's the only place I feel comfortable being a Total Fuckwad. As for expanding your written vocabulary with overheard words, it's often wise to check the spelling first. In this day of spell checkers, there's no excuse not to (other than perhaps laziness or stupidity) and it's particularly foolish to submit articles for publication without checking. I generally don't care if comments contain proper spelling, for what it's worth.
If a job's not worth doing, it's not worth doing right.
Hey, I did not hide behind an AC post. When someone goes out of their way to make themselves look like an idiot, frothing at the mouth about how they are right and are clearly wrong, they deserve a smack to get them back in order.
