You don't. You can't (unless you are independently wealthy or something).
Besides, you don't need to keep up with the Jones' anyway. I'm still running a Pent 133 for email and burning CD's. My main system is a PIII 733 that I didn't even pay for. I get *new to me* hardware from people who upgrade every year because they can't understand the difference between a slow computer and one that is heavily burdend with crap software.
Don't get me wrong...I keep up with the bleeding edge and boy oh boy would I like to play UT2003 on a system that yields more than 4fps. The bottom line is that I have better things to do (e.g. identify next girlfriend) and better things to spend my money on (e.g. again girlfriend).
...is usally either a MCSFT or Novell application or some other Windows-only piece of code in which the interests of us Linux folks is surely unsatisifed
Why not create our own set of benchmarks (not just kernel) for Linux then? Build them into every distro or something. Tom, Anand, Ars and TR will use them for sure. Stop bitching and start writing code!
Yes the foam is light and delicate, so if it hit the wing, it wouldn't have caused damage that way (brute force). But imagine how much heat is around the shuttle as the rockets are firing it upwards. They say the foam 'dissintegrated'. What if the foam instead melted on it's way down, and melted right into the cracks between each of the heat tiles? I think this is a real possibility.
Then in space obviously the foam cooled, and expanded there in between the tiles. It could have expanded enough to dislodge some of the tiles entirely. Then when the shuttle re-entered, the foam goo in those cracks again heated up, and burned away at the insides of the tiles, burning away everything holding the tiles on to the craft. A lot of tiles fell off, the heat reached the inside of the wing, and the rest we know.
Two questions (think of it as a mini Ask/. with a follow up)
Where is everyone today? Did I miss something? And don't tell me there was another shuttle crash or war or something...

Seriously...That whole pig on a neck thing was too cool.

What kind of information about its surroundings could the probe pick up from inside all that molten iron?
Heat and pressure...you know...the things that typically melt probes here on the upper crust.
I call their bullshit.
volkswagons are small, right?
I've got nothing
No shit. Show him the bottom line...

My patience is being tried ...when it really does arrive I'll be skeptical about it.

...you're going to need an adaptor.
Just direct your little fingers over to KazaaLite.com or WinMX.com . Plenty of free stuff. Plenty.
ive used several of these...the trackball in the kb sucks.
...or is it just AMD?
Five fourths of all people don't understand fractions...
Intel® Pentium® M Processor...does this mean they overclocked a 166 Pentium to 1.6 GHZ?!
No.No. Say it with me... PentiumMmmmmm. Sound it out PentiumMmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
we don't?!?!

...it's becoming apparent that chess programs are getting quite competitive with top human players.
