Yeah, I'd say there still is...unfortunately. Athlons still have a massive Achilles' Heel in how their L2 cache is clocked. If AMD could have gotten the cache speeds up to full clock like the Coppermines, any Athlon could handily spank a Coppermine at equivalent speed. Unfortunately, as the clocks get higher, the slower cache on the Athlons get apparent (see Tom's review on the 1GHz chips for evidence), and Intel starts to win the day there. But Thunderbird is coming out this summer (with any luck)...once it does, Intel is going to need some serious sh*t to stay in the market. And said sh*t is gonna hafta be released *when Intel says it is going to be released*.
You are a student in high school. You are a teenager going through puberty. Anger and depression are par for the course in this stage of your life, but you deal with them well, and never have harmed anyone. You do well in classes, and participate in a school-sponsored school activity every once in a while. You have few friends, but close ones. You occaisionally have run-ins with the more "popular" or "conservative" cliques in your school, but no more than anyone else outside of those cliques. You pursue your passions with vigor and well, passion. Generally, you're content with your life as it is, and would never be a threat to anyone, despite the fact that you're not terribly social and have a tendency to think/act/believe differently than a lot of your fellow students.
One day, you are hauled into the Guidance Counselor's/Principal's/ 's office. You didn't do anything (that you know of, anyway) and wonder what is going on. This then tells you that you are to undergo psychological counseling or possibly be suspended/expelled. You still have no clue what the &#^@ is going on.
Congratulations. You've just become the victim of the "Worst-case scenario" of the WAVE project. Someone in your school decided that they didn't like you because your hair looked funny one day, and knew also that they could get cash/prizes/etc for "turning you in" as a deviant of some sort.
Now, I know what you're thinking..."yeah, that may be a worst-case scenario, but it's not likely to happen." Think about this, then: how likely is this sort of scenario to happen, as opposed to someone who is actually a threat being reported?
If that doesn't scare you silly, go to your local library, and get a book called "the Crucible". I forgot who wrote it, but if you ask the librarian, they will certainly be able to find it for you. When you have read this book, ask yourself this: how many oddballs will this project burn at the stake, and of those how many should have been burned? Should any have been at all?
Relic! Are you listening? Homeworld for Linux == A Good Thing!!! Squaresoft! Are you listening? Want an exponential increase in sales? Then FFVII for Linux is a Good Thing for you!
"80% of all human wisdom comes from figuring out that no one else has a right to dabble in someone else's business." Paraphrased from R.A. Heinlein For those of you out there who believe that this article is rambling b.s., ask yourself this: if someone was advocating that which is in itself anathema to you, and something that you would die to keep from becoming popular belief, wouldn't you try to stop it? Wouldn't you do everything in your power to keep it from happening? Would you not consider a culture that does such a thing barbaric, or uncivilized? Would they not think you uncivilized for not doing this thing?
The problem with that statement relies on what you define as a "problem". Where does fixing "problems" stop and creating "superior children" begin?

Or simply disconnect it.
Neither. The spice (aka oil aka energy).
Only if you're not in the desert.
...does it run Linux?
A mod point, a mod point, my kingdom for a mod point! That is absolutely hilarious!
No one really listened to him when he was "Head of Cybersecurity"...I fail to see why that would change now.
Besides, everyone pretty much knows that Microsoft products are insecure...
I don't know that you could filter the stuff, but you could at least log it using Snort Win-32.
