Itanium Will Only Be Partly Supported by Longhorn

ver.sicher.ungsvergleich writes "Although stopping short of pulling the plug entirely on Itanium, MS has said that Longhorn will only be able to work for a limited number of higher-end jobs. On the positive side, Microsoft does see a future for the chip, but that 'big iron' slot is not exactly what Chipzilla envisioned as Itanium's future."

    we are looting,
    while raping and shooting,
    hey look i got this new retro tee,
    we ran out food,
    cause all we stole was booze,
    we had to drink our own pee.

    wastin' away again in niggerlooterville
    lookin for my nigger baby and 40.
    some people claim that Bush is to blame,
    but it's us niggers fault.

    i dont know the reason,
    i stayed here all season,
    nothing to show but this brand new flat screen,
    but it's a real beauty,
    a 40 inch LCD,
    can't wait to watch scarface on it.

    wastin' away again in niggerlooterville
    lookin for my nigger baby and 40.
    some people claim that Bush is to blame,
    now i think.
    hell it could be my fault.

    i waited at the superdome,
    but it was a nigger funeral home.
    why dont they send people to help us?
    it must be because we're black,
    at least we have plenty of crack.
    and this will be hot single for Kayne West.

    Looters Around The City Cleaning Out Stores

    At first it just seemed that the Wal-Mart in New Orleans' Lower Garden District was doing a very brisk post-hurricane business yesterday: The parking lot was full, people were leaving with brimming baskets, and city police and firefighters were there as if to oversee it all.

    But people weren't going through the front door. They were squeezing between boards meant to protect the now-shattered glass from Hurricane Katrina's winds. One man was packing his van so full of computers, televisions and DVD players that he had trouble closing the rear doors. One woman was carrying three jugs of laundry detergent in a city with no power to run a washer.

    As in so many past disasters elsewhere when crisis and chaos have replaced order and normalcy, a beleaguered New Orleans was beset by looters.

    The widespread plundering started before Katrina had finished its onslaught Monday. That afternoon, looters broke into an emptied sporting-goods warehouse in Mid-City, a grocery in Treme, and the hardware center Uptown. In one instance, witnesses said, police were called but did nothing until one man shot another.

    People said they had heard Wal-Mart had opened its doors to provide supplies for law-enforcement agencies sheltering the 10,000- plus people in the Louisiana Superdome. A Wal-Mart spokeswoman, Sharon Weber, said law enforcement, emergency-management teams, and relief agencies had "unwritten permission" to help themselves to whatever they need from Wal-Mart stores in times of crisis, but that standard procedure was for the police or aid officials to "leave us a list of what they take so they can pay us later."

    At the Lower Garden District Wal-Mart, among the items seen being loaded into police cars were dozens of T-shirts, DVDs, and dog food.

    But when law-enforcement officials went to get their goods, others - people of all ages and races - followed.

    "They just came and no one could stop them," said David Brown, 38, a Port of New Orleans employee.

    Brown and a coworker were filling their vehicle with dozens and dozens of canned goods - stews and chilis and Spaghetti-O's. Brown said the food would be used to feed the port's police and its employees, many of whom, like him, had worked nonstop since Saturday.

    They were only taking essentials, he said, though a copy of Queen Latifah's Beauty Shop movie had apparently made that list.

    Brown said the work showed no sign of easing.

    "It's pretty bad," he said. "They've been calling for body bags all day."

    Most streets in New Orleans were empty yesterday except for the hub around the Wal-Mart, in a section of the city that remained dry. People were everywhere: in cars and trucks, pushing goods in carts and baby carriages, dragging full trash cans and laundry baskets. The steady stream of cars caused a traffic jam on the streets near the store - the type of traffic jam last seen here when people tried to evacuate.

    "Is everything free?" asked a woman who pulled up in a red car. Hearing "yes," she started to chant: "TV! TV! TV!"

    Inside, a teenage boy held up a pair of blue lacy panties and snickered, "I want to see somebody in these so bad," before tossing them in his basket.

    Another man used a table to break into one of the last unscathed jewelry cases.

    A rumor that the National Guard had arrived sent people running toward the store's exit, shouting: "Come on! Come on!" But no one put down any merchandise, and the Guard rumor turned out to be false.
