Linux For Cell Processor Workstation
News for nerds writes "The Cell processor from Sony, Toshiba and IBM, has been known as the chip that powers the upcoming PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, but except for that very little is known about how it's applied to a real use. This time, at LinuxTag 2005 from 22nd to 25rd June 2005, at Messe- und Kongresszentrum Karlsruhe, Germany, Arnd Bergmann of IBM will speak about the Cell Processor programming model under Linux, and the Linux kernel in the first Cell Processor-based workstation computer, which premieres at Linuxtag 2005."
GNAA unveils new 2005 product line
The Gay Nigger Incestual Average rose fifteen points today in a sudden upswing Wall Street investors are crediting to GNAA-ANUS's unveiling of what's to come in the new year.
Development has continued on what is perhaps GNAA's best-known product, the popular Internet application Lastmeasure. New features and functionality will help to ensure that users will be able to enjoy Lastmeasure, even with the most modern of browsers.
Gay Nigger musos eagerly await the release of YHBT, the upcomming GNAA album that promises to be the new standard in trolling music. The album will include cuts such as the Ripper-inspired "S~H~O~A" and the stirring ballad, "Zionist Oppressors and You".
Perhaps the most impressive of the new products is known only as the "Drilldo."
Described by GNAA president timecop as "Six barrels of sixteen-inch niggercock fury", the device is mounted on a small set of tank treads - mobility technology licensed from the US Army robotics program.
"We've found the Drilldo to be effective in a number of uses," said GNAA researcher Turkback. "Both Goatse and Mr. Hands were found to be adequately fulfilled. Our special Ass-Sabot rounds are designed to directly pentrate deep into the rectal core."
GNAA researchers expect to see battlefield testing of the Drilldo as early as Febuary, with insertion into OSDN headquarters. Military experts are predicting these real-world tests to go "catastrophically erotic."
GNAA has also announced plans to sponsor a Bug Chasing team in 2005, supporting the Montrose Area Chasing Team in their goal to infect themselves with as many different strains of AIDS as possible.
The Montrose team has generally lost to bigger cities such as San Francisco and New York, but have high hopes for taking the lead in 2005 with their new GNAA backing. "With GNAA behind us, we'll be able to achieve our goal by engaging in reckless cocaine use and unprotected anal sex with anonymous partners in bookstore bathrooms," said an unnamed representative of the Montrose team.
In other news, The spiritual leader of the ANUS collective, Prozak/gasjews, announced Friday that he would be leading his team of Neitzchian uber-trolls on a quest to find the Holy Asshole. No word has yet been recieved on his progress, as immediately after this announcement the leader climbed to the top of Mount St. Helens in Washington State.
"He's been up there for days," stated ANUS operative Iconoclast. "We can't really make out what he's yelling from up there, but we think it's something about 'infinite return'. He's probably not comming down until he manages to set the damn thing off."
Authorities say that no resolution has been reached, but that regular shipments of burritos, ammunition and weapons-grade marajuana continue to be brought to the peak of the volcano.

What's the point of better architectures when Apple is moving to the brain-fucked x86 ISA? It's hard to be enthusiastic about computing when you know the beast just got a new lease on life.
/me pours himself another bitter one
When it comes down to whether I can pay for a program that denies me access to the source code, but does its job well or an open source alternative coded by the guy with a hairy back who lives in a basement down the street, I believe it is better to pay for the quality product than get something inferior for free and have to tweak it endlessly in order to get a satisfactory result. Worse still is removing the "personal touches" put into most software of this type. If I suggest something to my boss that contains such choice phrases in the code as "Free Mitnick" (whom I believe to be an incarcerated cyber-terrorist, but feel free to correct me) or "Fuck Bush" (many open-saucers are violent liberalists) my job would be about as secure as a typical linux webserver. This isn't even taking into account the names of the applications themselves: The Gimp (I'm sorry? BDSM on my PC? No thank you.), Felchmale (I think this is a homosexual sex act) and Mencoder (can women use it too?) all come to mind.
What it comes down to at the end of the day is experience. Experience from the coders, marketers, tech support people who are all paid to to their jobs and do them well. Would you want a handjob from a 12 year old prostitute? Even if it was free, would you still take the awkward jerkings of a preteen over a $50 squeeze from a professional? That is how I see this whole debate. Your dick ends up covered in jism at the end, but there is one hell of a difference in the route you took to get there. Of course, some will always prefer the inferior route, in the handjob realm as well as software. In the former situation we call these people paedophiles. What is so different about the second group?
