It's like threatening someone with a gun, but the gun's not loaded whereas your competitors are ready and loaded. Maybe a more appropriate term is rattling their sabres.
A more appropriate analogy for Larrabee is threatening someone with a banana, but it might be a gun.
That's because packaging systems (*especially* on Linux) exist largely to solve a problem Windows doesn't have - massive amounts of intricate and interlinked software dependencies.
I use Gentoo on all of my other boxes, so naturally I put it on my new Eee PC 1000H as well (dual boot with the existing XP.) If you're happy with your current distro, why change?
That said, I wouldn't recommend this for the faint hearted. The Atheros chipset isn't supported out of the box, so you're offline until
you get the current kernel installed on it. I've yet to get proper hardware acceleration out of the Intel 945GME graphics chipset - nor from an Intel 865G chipset at work. If there's an Eee distro that will do this out of the box, I'd seriously consider switching to it.
In short, competitive computer models remain closed source. The theory might be well published, the implementation remains within those who want to publish some-thing before someone else does.
So it's a pissing contest first, and the progression of science comes a distant second?
Admittedly, mathematicians can formally prove they are more intelligent the CSers, but nobody except another mathematician could a) understand the proof, and b) give a shit.

Intel is a company with great products.
Intel's graphics chipsets, and/or the Linux drivers for them, are not "great products".
More likely, now Australian scientists can protect their communications from the proposed Internet filter.
DLLs?
No, that information is pretty scary: Windows 7 "Big Brother" Edition.

It was the "Fly my pretties, fly!" that I found disturbing.

Don't forget to pack four bricks to pin down the corners of your portable bendy monitor so it doesn't roll back up again.
You first - I'm not drinking anything containing cryogenically frozen Martian organisms.
Unlike Windows, which is clearly not Intelligent Design. (Windows 7 is not the messiah, either - it's just a naughty service pack.)
Correctamundo. Rest assured, though, that your data is definitely inaccessible when the host system is powered *off*.
Try Sven's Viking Pizza in Bondi Junction, Sydney, Australia. Perfect thin crust, delicious toppings. Best pizza I've ever had.

Which "masses" would these be? Mr and Mrs. Neutrino?

Mathematicians are insane.
Fixed that for you.

What if I txt during the movie? At what point do the house lights go up and the police barge in?
As soon as possible, you inconsiderate clod.
"United States of America" - hmm, I think you're on to something.
