Unlike the post says, this isn't an OS for the old Commodore computers. This is a reimplementation of that old OS for PowerPC machines. They are trying to maintain API compatibility so you can run the old programs right on a PowerPC box.
Actually, it does run on Amigas with PowerPC CPUs too.
Well, the PPC chips have 64 bit registers, as opposed to the x86 32 bit registers. More data can be processed per cycle this way
... Yes, 64-bit PowerPC processors will have 64-bit integer registers. But since all current PowerPC processors are 32-bit, they have 32-bit registers...
Classic Quake + Software Mode + 4.4GHz = How many hundred fps?
"4.4GHz", first of all, Quake doesn't support SMP, and MHz has the exact same meaning as MIPS: Meaningless Indicator of Processor Speed.
Just think of how bad the bottleneck would be at the video card. Heck, with a config like this, software mode would be better than hardware mode.
Well, PCI is running at 33MHz, giving a maximum potential transferrate of 133MB/secs, so if the processor didn't do anything else than pumping data to the graphicsboard, you would get 101.47 FPS in 1280*1024*8. But with hardware rendering, you only have to transfer a bunch of coordinates, enabling a much higher speed than with software rendering.
It's times like this I am gald I use AWeb
I never have to deal with any of the following:
Pop-ups
Pop-unders
Banners
200k Flash pages
Java madness
Half page ad boxes(what is this anyway?)
And none of that distracting pr0n
It has no downsides, and it is overall faster and more efficient than putting up with Exploder, Netscrape, Lynx, Links, etc.

Sadly pretty close to the truth :/

No, I don't. Why don't you enlighten me?

Rightie, and when will they start to sue the major labels?
After all, it was them who gave me my CD, so that I could MP3 encode it and send it to my friends.

Well, no, since Apache doesn't suffer from the design problems IIS have.
Apache doesn't run as root, so exploitation won't lead to having root.
As soon as you exploit IIS, you have root.
