I think the hardware part he's referring to is an emulator such as VMware, which emulates an i386 based system, which basically lets you run a multitude of OSs.
Just because the P4 keeps working does not mean it's necessarily "setting it self up for failure". If you check out Tom's video, you'll notice that Q3 on the P4 keeps getting slower until the heatsink is put on again. Obviously, when this much care is taken in implementing cpu throttling, there has to be some point where the cpu will shut off due to excessive heat.
Does that mean it fails? Nope.
I don't know which I'd prefer.. with the AMD supposedly just shutting off, you would immediately know that something's wrong. With the P4 dramatically slowing down (and say, speeding up again in the case of an fan that's slowly going out), you may just assume that Windows is just trippin, or that the game you're playing had to load something very big, etc.
The point of not being able to boot sans heatsink is, if you can't boot it, you can't fry it. "Hmm, something's wrong with my system!" Crack it open, and see that somehow (likely leprechauns) your heatsink is no longer on top of your cpu. Place it once again, and problem solved. No need to buy another processor.
What's wrong with the Snap Server-type stuff? The usually plug into a hub and have a fairly quick boot/setup time, multiple RAID options, 10/100/1000 network support, SNMP, all the essentials.
Take the Snap Server 12000, for instance: "Nearly 1TB for Less Than $15,000". That's right, 960GB for under $14,999! That should provide enough storage for even the horniest of geeks (for a few weeks at least).
Anyone have any experience with these things? Good? Bad?
Any ideas as to what's better? More data density (DVDs) or more layers (CDs)? I would guess that the CDs would allow a faster read speed, but that's just a plain old guess.

Also, for many more Slackware packages, head over to LinuxMafia, "Slack Pack Central".
You mean aside from the eBusiness/WebSphere/Geeks from a parallel universe in space suits commercials? Nope.. want to share?
Holy cow dude, you got a +3, Interesting!
Whether or not it can be done in GUI isn't the problem here... it's efficiency.
I'd much rather cd to a dir without explorer having to check the contents, show all the icons, etc.
As for the deletion? 'del *.obj' is much, much nicer than 'f3' '*.obj' <wait for scan to finish> 'ctrl-a' 'shift-del' 'enter-to-fucking-confirm'.
Besides, everyone knows that vi kicks emacs's ass.

sounds like some wishful thinking for #2, some bizarre web porn thing.
You must mean like the wall of screens put together to make a huge TV that I always see at Best Buy. I always wondered what those were called.
Going to Best Buy should be fun now...
"Hi sir, may I help you?"
"Yes, how much for that beowulf cluster?"
<blank look>
WTF.. funny, this is not. Informative? Yes.
Damn crack smoking moderators.
Probably should be Dans Data.

Point taken?
But this is about an Athlon 1.2 MP. Aren't MP/XP different?
Misremembering? Why, that's unpossiblistic!
Don't forget that our good old /. uses perl.
They used to, but the Taliban banned it. No damn surprise there.
but rarely did I actually need them all at once.
But I bet it's nice to know it WILL all work together for those rare times when you need it.
WTF, why is this modded insightful? We're nerds/geeks, and shit like this is cool to us, so technically, it matters.
/. anyway.
Nobody's forcing your ass to read
Wait a minute now... wouldn't the pressure generated by burning jet fuel in a 2 liter greatly exceed the pressure generated by a bike pump?
This would make it seem that all these fun things are out of the question.
"50megs per side," eh? Holy Toledo this is big!

So this is basically a dual-layered DVD. What about the multilayered 140GB CDs?

Well duh, where does that NOT apply?
You mean emacs is only lacking it's own bootloader!
Yes, it's not?
