People don't buy a Cray or Origin cluster to have the CPUs sitting at 1% load, they're made to work. If a home PC was properly cooled I'd hope that it should last to whatever the lifetime is spec'd at by the manufacturer.
It's not replacing our current processors. It is just helping them with intensive floating-point calculations. Is that really going to be helpful to the average user?
Considering their initial chips (if and when actually made) will be selling for $16,500 I don't think the "average user" is their initial intended market. They'll go to the clustering people and research folks first.
Ma & Pa Kettle don't need 150Kb+ incoming for their P2P apps. They want to log in to the InterWeb and check their email for pics of their grandkids. If this doesn't get them loads of new users I'll be very suprised.
Your confusion may have arisen because of all the ill-wishing the Slashdot crowd was spouting when they were really hurting for money... "I hope they die, they deserve to", that kind of garbage.
I'm a Free|OpenBSD user, you need to have a thick skin 'round these parts.;) Thanks for the information, it helped jog my memory.

Everybody in this charade are sending open letters to one another. It's as if SCO is trying to scare other companies into settling whereas the companies SCO are suing are trying to decide this in the court of public opinion.
They should all just shit or get off the pot. SCO; show some code. IBM/SGI/et all; show what you've found. This fiasco has gone on long enough.

Sniff Ahh.. the ol' Ike Thomas troll. For those that haven't read it, the parent is quite funny. Get it before this post is modded down..
Remember: a man's not a man until he's read the Ike Thomas troll.
There are weenies that will say "Psstt.. you know that #2 computer in the Big 500? It only has one button on the mouse!"
2.0 little.
2.0 late.
2.0 bad.
I could download every CD on the billboard top 100 list
But.. would you want to?
At least

Has anyone heard of a proxy/filter doing this?
We have Privoxy running at work (and I do here at home). It can do on the fly text mods in it's "playful" mode.
If you thought your eyes were burning before, wait until the goatse.cx guy gets one of these units..

25Gflops on 3W?
Clearspeed forgets to mention the several hundred litres of expensive liquid helium needed to make this possible.

I thought Mandrake Club had folded a while back,

For all the delays, I hope MS bundles a copy of Duke Nukem Forever with Longhorn... if DNF is out first that is.
Office is native for the Mac, retard.
I mean, they could've at least made a little graph
Here you go:As you can see, Linux running Samba is 2.5x faster than Windows Server 2003.
If you thought the RIAA suing a 12 year old girl in a housing project was bad, just wait for SCO to try suing a diaper company.
How long can this take? How hard can it be? There are just a few simple steps:
1) Build spaceship.
2) Fly it up to 100 km.
3) Come back safely.
4) -> 2)
A good afternoon's work, damn slackers..
It's a reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.. Don't think too hard about it.

What Will Be in Linux 2.7?
Plenty of SCO's intellectual property, duh!
"Our value dropped 1/3 virtually overnight. I'm going to dump my remaining shares and leave the lawsuits to the suckers that buy up the remains!"
SCO had never heard of Debian before. Now that Debian is everyone's favourite distro, SCO will sue them too!
