Great idea, but not one you'd ever get past the baseball / football / soccer / lobbies.
How else do you think the multi-million dollar salaries for overgrown rounders players are funded?
No marketing => little or no professional sport.
Not to mention the revenue streams of the media, Google, etc. etc.
You're especially right about the designer clothes, though - as far as I'm concerned anything that puts the designers' noses out of joint is a Good Thing(TM).
If you're going to misspell 'cue' as 'queue', I reserve the right to randomly post John Otway and Wild Willie Barrett, since the song has a queue (for a bus) in it.
Given the proposed specs of these (1.4 GHz processor, 160GB HDD, 2GB RAM), I doubt whether the app server could benefit from direct backplane connection.
Now if they were to stick a Niagra on one of these babies, then I could see a massively multithreaded application benefiting, but that isn't likely to happen anytime soon.
Dawkins wasn't using the terror acts as a springboard - he was merely pointing out that the terrorists were inspired by fundamentalist religious beliefs.
True, he rejects (as all thinking people should) all religion, but as I recall it, his point at the time was that fundamentalism is a bad thing.
Belief in gods is just silly and childish anyway - it's time that adults put away childish things - after all, even Saul the Zealot saw that:P

QDOS -> 86-DOS -> MS-DOS
Sorry, you fail it - MS didn't design DOS :P

They very politely informed us that we had the wrong China, but to come back in 2000 and they would have unified.
Ain't happened yet, but it's not unimaginable if the drift towards economic freedom leads to eventual political freedom in PROC.
Anyway, those Formosans make very good motherboards :P
Alan Clark, is that you?
5 lines?
You call yourself a developer?
Any fool knows that all tasks can be accomplished by a single line of Perl :P
Verbing nouns may be perfectly cromulent, but I see it as iconoclastic in the extreme :P
No - Monday's still 6 days away :P
And once the codebases are merged?
What is this 'run' of which you speak?
Miles better than wrinkly old rubberlips :P
Line 100 did once (10 years ago) have a SCO version, though - I don't know whether they ever ported it to Linux.
Is that really you?
There's plenty of thunder around Harare this time of year :o)
Please stand under this tree.
'It would have been cheaper to lower the Atlantic'
What a cast-iron star that man was :)
As any fule kno, the Catholics are the terrorists in Belfast :P
Being British, I'd have liked a reference to the Memory Hole - I'm sure that Mintrue would have run some variant of the Analytical Engine...

;P
But just the mention should be enough to put 'Never gonna give you up' back in your mind :P
That's 'scamming', not spamming, dufus!
Yes, although Gentoo will still take a week to compile ;P
Perhaps if we could make the theists believe that if they mention God, their cockle fall off, they'll clam up.
Does that make me an extreme ignostic?
