And only a 1MB cache. Why not put in the extra ($100?) and keep the system from choking? 64-bit doesn't mean faster, just more powerful. all that 64-bit processing is going to choke with only 1MB. Especially since 1MB is the same whether or not the processor itself is 32- or 64-bit. Now it will fill up twice as quickly.
A French student taught a bunch of us a similar game, but we call it "werewolf".
Take a standard poker deck, pull out a Joker, a Jack and a Queen, and numbered cards for the remaining players.
The person who gets the Joker is the werewolf, The Jack is the Fortune Teller, and the Queen is the little girl.
Everyone falls asleep (closes their eyes). The Fortune Teller wakes up, and can see one of the other players' cards. He then falls asleep again. The Werewolf wakes up, and the little girl can if she wants, but can choose not to be seen by the werewolf instead. The Werewolf then kills a villager by selecting his card and it is turned over.
The dead are not allowed to speak (though they will, of course, be slack about it so long as they don't give everything away). The Werewolf and the little girl fall asleep again, and the town wakes up to see who's dead.
The villagers then arbitrate and then vote on who dies, and if the Werewolf is not chosen, another round ensues.
Variations I learned as he taught us and we played:
Cupid: usually the King of Hearts, he can select any two people to be in love. If one of the lovers dies, the other does as well, whether by the Werewolf or the villagers.
The Witch: (I forget which card) can choose to kill or revive anyone during her part of the night.
Two Werewolves.

It's an excuse for Microsoft. If a feature or patch isn't available, they can say, "Oh, we meant the *Next* version of Windows" and then "No-no, the *Next* Next version" ad infinitum...
That's an excellent question. This is one of the cases where the uncapitalized 'free' can be of a much more applicable use, however. Any other system would be developed in a proprietary environment, and would be very expensive to license. In this case, the *already-skilled* developers (we're not talking about IT in the workplace being "given" code to learn from, but actual EE's and CS's who have systems and electronics expertise) benefit greatly from having an Open codebase, the cost of choosing which would be to give back whatever modifications they needed to make to market the product in question.
Remember that Linux is also easily portable, as evidenced by the early ports made back in 2.0-time. The developers now have a somewhat widened choice for the hardware they can use. What's more, they have their choice of the interfaces a robot can use for control, given Linux's extensive library of ethernet, serial, USB, bluetooth, etc. drivers.
Those are the only two things I can think of which can answer your question (it's 5:15 here in Wales, son of a motherless goat!), but I think you can agree that they're useful to those whose job it is to consider them.
Coming off a party last night and very hungry and cranky, but let me see if I understand the article you posted:
Yahoo's software won't work because most mail servers won't be set up with it.
That's basically what the author of that article says. He gives two examples of mail servers that won't be containing the required software: his own domain, and a forwarding service on another domain. So what? So use a server that's set up with that software, and it works. Anyone not using that software will still get encrypted spam and encrypted mail from other people, yes, but that's their problem for not opting for a simple solution.
If I'm wrong, will someone else please clear this up for my stuffed-up head?
While I can't provide adequate research to justify it, the parent-parent poster seems to be making the point that without the software, the hardware companies would be up a certain creek. IBM, DEC, Intel, TI, et al, of course, provided a wonderful foundation for the computing industry we have today. Without the hardware aspect, there would be no such industry, and these technologies would be nowhere near as ubiquitous as they are today. However, all these companies would have to admit that, with no software, there would have been no function for hardware. What's more, the job of software creation has historically (I've spent classes with people who were there for the market and the promise of high-paying jobs) gone to those who -- to use a fairly universal (read: Freudian) metaphor -- get a boner from the processes, structure, manipulation, etc. involved in making the hardware do what it can. From the tales I've heard of old Unix (and what can be seen at least in the Linux world -- kudos the the BSD crowd for their perseverence without equal praise) I know that no single commercial interpretation of what software "should do" has managed to define its actual function in the real world -- different strokes for different folks -- and that the best implementations and the best ideas for what software *can* do can be separated as wheat from chaff (though obviously this is not always what happense). So, yes, thank you hardware companies for giving us physical space in which our ideas can run freely, but thank you more to those who have made the most of it with their own ideas.
Your links will be useful for those wanting to see other examples of ultra-high-res images, but...
According to Max, he has 'been unable to find any record of a higher resolution
photographic (i.e. non-scientific) digital image that has been created without resizing a smaller, lower resolution image or using an interpolated image.'
I think the idea is that this particular desktop is focused toward using Java-based applications for Java development. Sun has created a specialized environment to further their brainchild. Now, if someone has Java experience, they have not only a set of applications which will make doing so easy, but an entire desktop. What's more, the JDS is based in Linux, making it ideal for server development, since there's plenty of *nix servers that could make use of Java applications.
This is to make it so that an average desktop computer can function as a router for WiFi traffic in the home or office. The card is needed NMW, in order to grab that traffic. A poster above mentioned using a software radio, but it seems that that would only be useful if things were reversed: the software radio *interprets* the signal, and *generates* one to return to the WiFi device in question, but ultimately it is a radio device which transmits that signal into the air. The problem Intel will face is explaining this in terms that a PHB who *signs* the check to buy this stuff.

The specs are here, at least, and it was on the front of the desktop section.

Higher levels of configurability, maintenance, ability to audit the code, possibilities for adding other server capabilities...
Someone else continue this thread, please, I'm bad at this...

Well, not to quibble over terminology, but land-survey photos tend to seem more *scientific* to me than photographic. I read the links you posted.
It's actually 1916 pages in lynx under a 1024x768 framebuffer!!!
Hah, you really thought I actually counted for a second there!

No word on a resolution for the problem with pre-empt, at least none that can be seen with a search for "preempt" in the page. :-P
Ever read Bradbury's "The Toynbee Convector"?
I'm sure someone has related it to John Titor, but it felt eerily relevant as I looked through that site.
Tinfoil Linux already taken ;)
Good to know someone else feels the same way.
ancient yet almost dead
Never thought of the two as mutually exclusive...
