Nice to see AMD working to be innovative. On the other hand, some of the terminology used sounds like they came straight from a bad breast implant procedure.
"fully-depleted Silicon-on-Insulator"
Another term for "Your artificial knockers have sprung a leak"
I understand hardware will fail which is fine if wasn't due to negligence; what isn't fine though is the apparent lack of preparedness in handling the resolution of this situation.
First, why did such a critical device fail so soon on the space station? I only ask that because it just seems like the more expensive a device is for the space shuttle or the space station the more easily it will fail. Does the level of criticality coincide with the level of fragility?
Second, doesn't it bother anyone else that it may take up to a year to replace the one failed gyroscope? NASA has to make room on a future space shuttle mission in order to fly the replacement gyroscope up, fine I say, but I don't think that's the whole story as to why I will take so long to replace. NASA shouldn't be using the excuse that it would delay experiments or completion of the space station. The safety of the ISS crew is more important than getting some experiements completed.
I think the issue should be why is NASA classifying this problem as low priority? Maybe NASA has done its risk analysis on the problem which would be fine except that there seems to be no oversight of the decision process.
But experience shows that the Internet's majority of unsophisticated users "are vulnerable to all kinds of simple things because they have no concept of what's actually going on," explains Lauren Weinstein, co-founder of People for Internet Responsibility.
This must mean...
A) The majority of Internet users are f'ing clueless.
B) Lauren is not only the president of the unsophicated Internet users club, but also a member.
C) We must hold the Internet responsible for such irresponsibility.
MS won't pull the ads, the company will just buy more until Linux attention at the magazine wanes. If you don't believe me, just look at eWeek as an example; Microsoft's ad space has increased whereas articles concerning Linux has decreased.
Here in California it is being proposed that a recycling tax be placed on new computer equipment sold in this state. This isn't like some deposit fee that you get back if you recycle the item either.

That's what happens when your systems are behind a real firewall!
Ahh crap, now you had to go and give SCO an idea for actually earning a honest buck or two.
That's hilarious, you deserve a rimshot for that one.
Is the book about cow tipping?
I will remain malnourised, thank you.
Would jokes about umount and devices be ok?
He might want to name his first volume "Slashdot In a Nutshell"
Umm, I'm sure the people being shipped would object quite a bit, duh...
All your subnets are still belong to me...
I thought you have been a Linux admin for the past 13 years?!?!
Excuse me while I go take a picture of an LCD falling on my head. Then you'll have one of a 'Collapsible LCD' :)
Is Lunix a new Linux distribution from SCO? If it is from SCO then it is definately not _free_

You might want some pretty good privacy for that insertion!
The guy is still GNUTS though...
Eww, now I lost my appetite for Soylant Green.

What questions might Cheek ask also?
Xabre was created to take advantage of the Xtra features in Ximian sometime in the future.
