I have a simple reform to copyright terms that will solve all the worlds' problems. See, it doesn't make sense to retain copyright to something once it has been absorbed into the great gestalt of common culture. I say once a song loses all relevancy, copyright should be retired. A simple litmus test would be when the song is used to advertize beer or automobiles. Maybe sneakers, too.
I hope they're not even considering old x86. All the non-Microsoft OSes are already headed to 64-bit, which in this case would be x86-64. (Ok, I may be getting confuzzled past this point...) But in that case, WTF would they choose Intel, when AMD has taken the lead with x86-64 (errr... AMD64 per Linus)?!!! Furthermore, Apple doesn't need all the legacy x86 kruft in the first place. They need a high-flop/Watt 64 bit arch.
Seems to me that this decision isn't entirely to serve their customers better. There must have been some horse-trading going on in this deal.
not only are they giving up on the (IMHO) superior PPC to cowtow to the MHz moron marketroid contingent,
but,
this now means,
that fucknuck Dworvak is actually right about something!!!!
Actually, looking at the egos involved, pointing that little fact out to Jobs might be enough to wreck the deal....
Slashdot regularly runs stories of claiments to being "the world's smallest webserver". I think there was at least one (claiming to be running on a PIC IIRC...) that was a hoax. Then again, there's still some people doing some outrageously wierd stuff out there, too.
I'm not calling a hoax yet, but 3MHz seems awfully fast for wire-wrap. Do any of the old salts out there know what the limiting frequency would be for a wire-wrapped board?
I've built a computer based soley on social engineering and the manual transport of small, green pieces of paper! Sad to say, it's still buggy as hell.
This is a prime case where the submitter should have : 1) warned the site's owner, 2) made arrangements for a mirror or coral cache or bittorrent whatever. Because you KNOW this bitch was gonna go down like a three-year-old trying to stop a stampeding herd of elephants.
And the alledged "management" of slashdot should have at least warned the poor sap before unleashing this upon his little corner of the web.
That said, this sounds uber-l33t, and I'm planning to check it out once the smoking rubble is cleared away.
"Heyyyy.... howzabout we get our viewers to defer the bandwith bills for downloading episodes? Sounds like a middleman's wet dreams to me, get your customer to pay your distribution expenses. Now if they could only work out the "get paid" part."

I see no possible way how this could lead to trouble. Michael Chrichton will get three or four books outta this one!
Ohhhh, I get it, built in P2P folders for "Pictures" , "Videos" and "Music". Now it all makes sense. And with industry-leading Microsoft security. (I didn't say WHAT industry... haw haw!)

If they locked him up in a foil-lined room, he wouldn't be insane anymore, now would he? Come on people, think these things through!

Dammit, I forgot the part about monkeys paying for sex!!!!! That's definately going to be part of the design for my next computer!
I'm used to seeing such kit accessorized with twenty years of dust bunnies and dead roaches.

Sorry, Richard Pryor playing a computer geek trumps David Herman!!!
So apparently, the BBC has been taken over by the mob.

- UltraSPARC (most of the boxes at work, plus an Ultra 5 I bought on EBay to play with),

- Power PC (stuff at work)
- and several 68k derivatives (various boxes at work from little to seriously studly)
