I have NEVER paid money for an Intel processor! I have owned 2 (486DX-33 and Pentium75)in my years working with x86 machines, but never bought one. Whenever I have spent money on a processor it's always been AMD. They are cheap and they perform wondefully... with the exception of the K5 and first generation K6. AMD made some mistakes early on, but they learned from them! unIntel, on the other hand, hasn't!
Oh, that's right! We're all supposed to be happy that we constantly get screwed by huge corporations. Reminds me of a sig I saw here a couple of days ago:
Shut up, be happy. The conveniences you demanded are now mandatory
What is it with people like you that suck-up to big corps like UnIntel and Micro$haft? "Oh, look at how successful they are! They are soooo rich! Maybe we should let them make all the laws for us peons down here in the mud. They are successful, so therefore, they must be smart!"
This is about not letting huge corporations decide for the rest of us how we should live our lives. It's time to take the government back from lobbyists and corporations!
Actually, Legos are very important in teaching children the creative and analytical skills they need to become productive geeks in society. They are viewed as a toy, but unlike most toys, they don't promote they type of behaviour that plagues society's teens today. Instead, they prepare a child's mind to learn much more advanced skills such as programming, engineering and architecture.
I'll bet Linus Torvalds had Legos when he was a kid! So, don't go knocking one of the few true toys help kids develop their minds rather than teach violence and hatred!!!
Correction to my earlier post: He jumped from 102,800ft and set 4 world records:
The jump set records that still stand today: the highest ascent in a balloon, the highest parachute jump, the longest freefall, and the fastest speed by a man through the atmosphere.
Yeah, I saw this in a National Geo article about ballooning. The name of the project was called Excelsior or something and they were testing the possiblity of making a high altitude escape from a failed rocket launch.
The guy, Kittinger, made 3 jumps, I think, with the highest being somewhere around 120k. He broke three records that day: Highest parachute jump. Longest time in freefall. Longest time parachuting.
Kittinger said that when he jumped he couldn't tell he was falling because his clothes weren't flapping (no wind). When he rolled over on his back and saw the balloon rising above him was when he realized he was indeed falling.

And to that I say,
EQ Rocks!!!!

ok, so i'm off on a tangent again, eh?
But, what if she uses KDE?

On the subject of geek porn...
Did you check out the Argentinian physicist?
Wow! Smart and cute, too! Truly a (male) geeks fantasy!
Ahhh, thx for the link!

She would, of course, need a "flux capacitor"!
