Actually, I just ordered a Type-R emblem to put on the new case for a celeron 600 rig with i810 onboard video and a 6GB drive. Yes it is going to be full of LED fans and CCFL "neon" tubes.
P.S. I am fairly sure Dell does not ship 4200rpm drives on anything but laptops
Not quite. I've seen desktop machines shipping with laptop drives. At school, one of the computer labs got some low-profile desktop form-factor units (p4 2.6, 1GB RAM) and they were loaded with laptop drives. This was about 6mo ago.
Everything on the GNU servers seems to be back in order now....except the win32 ports of Emacs. Is this some sort of political statement, or is it really -that- hard to get the files verified and put back up?
Brilliant troll; if I had the mod points, I'd send this up. Excellent blending of legitimate criticisms, personal opinion treated as fact & outright inflamatory content. The only really weak part was the "Tolkien sucks cock" at the end; it really kinda destroys the doubt that this was a serious post...
18 is not the universal age of majority in the US, just the voting age. Some states have lower limits (such as places where you can get married at 15).
Even the pirates (ie warez types) themselves have proudly used the term since the mid-80s. You a few decades too late to argue against the adoption of hopelessly loaded terminonology. Get over it....I don't care what RMS told you.
It is pretty darn difficult to keep a thousand processors cold
You're saying it. At the (undisclosed southwestern desert location) high-performance computing center on campus they have problems during the summer. On some of the hottest days, they have to stand outside with a garden hose & spray down the cooling-coils on the main AC unit, or else the whole system goes down. The system can handle the load, it just can't get the heat out of the system when it's 100F outside.
When you say "A Nehemiah core C3 runs really close to the same performance of a comparably clocked Celeron" you gloss over the fact that having "the FPU was underclocked by a factor of 1/2" ends up giving you far less floating-point performance than an equivalently-clocked Celeron; a difficult feat.
Considering that FPU performance is particularly useful in scientific apps, this makes VIA chips nearly worthless there. Epia boards are cute & fit in toasters, but not really practical or cost effective.
I think the bodyguards are just another PR stunt. Seriously, if the guys who ran Enron into the ground (and destroyed thousands of people's plans for the future) haven't been whacked yet, nobody's going to hit a SCO exec....unless it's an SCO sponsored hitman, so that SCO can sue the bodyguard company for failing to protect the client and then sue IBM claiming they were behind the hit.

You ever try going back to a store and telling them you got too little change?

Here he is,here's his sister and the family pets.
What is this "Drive-in" you speak of?

A few minor issues compared to the continual occurance of windows exploits, worms & viruses?

Well, if it's like any other engineering college, odds are that a large number of their students are from India already...
Now that Arnold's govenor of California, do you -really- want to go west?

Damned Gentoo fanboys...
Ummm... you need some more checks in there, lest somebody with 8HP take 10HP of damage and become immortal.
...at least until they regenerate and go up to -1HP.
You can only spend so many millenia making bad things happen to the Jews before it gets boring. Linux users are now the new "Chosen People".
/me starts learning Egyptian.
Just set eveything to cable select or force them to buy SCSI.
2 things:
1) half the bands you say are great are kinda... well... dead.
2) "Shitney Spears". Wow. I'm impressed. Your biting wit is like that of a 12yr old.

Just wait for the next Itanium line...
You know... the ones with 24MB of cache?
When only 1% of the population owns anything, killing one of them would easily be considered a remarkable feat...

You called me on it. I was karma-whoring. I just got the numbers and had to think of somethign to say that would push ppl's buttons.
