Almost every Intel CPU, unlike AMD and Cyrix, supported SMP. I still can figure what was the point of not supporting SMP in P4. AMD is cheaper/faster for the home systems, but P4 could still sell well for multiprocessor servers. No SMP support means no one in their mind would buy it when you can get 2x P3 1Ghz for less that you would pay for single P4 1.5Ghz with no ability to add 2nd CPU to the server.
Bacteria was found at at an altitude of 10 miles , not in space.

The bacteria found in the balloon's filter "is a hitherto unknown strain," Wickramasinghe said. "It is so different from anything we've seen before that there are only two possible explanations."

If yes, then it's probably time to short Intel stocks and buy AMD
