My i7-2600 on a Gigabyte P67 mobo is running just fine right now. I'm only using the SATA3 ports, so this problem will never affect me. Regardless of this, Gigabyte has already publicly declared that I will be able to exchange my mobo for a new one once they've gone and _made_ those new ones.
this i7-2600 is the _fastest_ cpu I've ever run into. It's an absolute screamer -- running TEN kvm VMs under ubuntu 10.04.01, at a posted load average of 1.02. to the kernel, the hyperthreading makes it look like an 8-way box, and my world community grid numbers (overnight, when the kvm machines are shut down) are smokin'.
I'd rather this hadn't happened, but Intel/Gigabyte are handling this like pros. I'll be using this server until such a time as the new mobos are available.
Hey, how many libertarians does it take to stop a panzer division?

No man is an island, no man is self-made. Though I disagree with many of his opinions, Charley Reese is right when he talks about why he isn't a libertarian. It's why I cannot be one as well.
Henry Ford's original designs were intended to run on home-brew alcohol. Ethanol may be less of an energy gain to produce than gasoline, but it's only a loser if you're using petrochemicals to produce it. As others have noted, using wind and solar to accelerate the process greatly reduces the worries about wasting energy. Think of how much energy is wasted every day, as solar energy heats up parking lots.
You can design an ethanol plant adjacent to a hog farm. The waste material from producing ethanol feeds the hogs. The excess heat from the hog barn can be scavenged and used to further fuel fermentation. The liquid sewage produced by the hogs will produce methane. Then, after you've scavenged the methane, the liquid sewage is spread on the field as fertilizer.
Another distinct advantage of ethanol is that it _can_ be produced on a very small scale. A farmer can power his tractors using a portion of his corn crop. He can actually produce his fuel on-site, if he so wishes.
Eco-crazies? subsidize voters in agro states? I live in an agro state, and I can tell you that corn and soybean subsidies are nowhere near as large as the tobacco subsidies -- yet, we can't produce anything approaching a power gain out of tobacco.
The eco-crazies I know oppose ethanol just as much as gasoline, because it's still a combustion process, and it still pollutes (just not very much).
Your post strikes me as a bit of a troll.
Ethanol is a real solution in that it gets us a highly portable form of energy. Is it as dense an energy transport as gasoline? No.
But it can be used to keep existing infrastructure running. I have heard that converting a fuel-injected engine to ethanol is as simple as altering the programming, but I do not know for sure.
There are some other advantages to ethanol, in that large scale fuel spills aren't nearly as toxic as petrochemical spills.
Also, trying drinking a glass of gasoline to get a buzz sometime. It does make me wonder if a fuel can full of ethanol counts as an 'open container'.

Hell, he was the best man in my wedding! And he certainly doesn't get the props he needs. One of the most thorough men I've ever met. He contributed one of the best chapters of Multitool Linux, the one on web-based email services.
I did not mean for my comment to be as much of a flame towards you as it came out to be. I should have stated that I can only assume you wrote for antionline in good faith, and were later dissappointed by the actions of the others associated with it. I can only apologize, and say that while I meant to turn it against the bad guys at AO, I also vented at you--and I did that quite wrongly.
I wondered if you were the gent I saw on Matt's fine FreeBSD machine... I've been there since...oh, early '95, I think. Maybe '96. Time flies.
Uh, Rod, you wrote for Anti-online--a publication which is obvious to even the untrained eye to be full of half-truths, misrepresentations and outright lies. Vransewhatever is using that little web page (ezine? ezine? you make it sound like you wrote for Salon, or slate, or Nerve) to run a personal vendetta against anyone and everyone he doesn't like. His star correspondent, Caroline Meinel (sp?) had a hysterical tantrum at defcon last year...
Katz writing for slashdot is different: it's someone writing long-winded, half-considered (if that much) editorials on subjects he doesn't really understand--and has no interest in understanding. And he's doing it for a relatively respectable website.
Jon, you're often unafraid to discuss any subject at all--even technical subjects with which you are unfamiliar. Do you think it is possible to intelligently discuss the posssibilities of something, without actually understanding that thing?
Also, when approached by members of the scientific community, offering to help familiarize you with one of these subjects (and I believe I have this email archived, if you'd like to see it), why do you refuse this education? These grad students DID offer to pay your air fare--and you're a successful author, far more able to afford that ticket than they.
I checked Google, but it was not cached there. It looks like Ken put all his eggs in one basket, and is now horrified because his basket has been confiscated.

What the? What good is BurgerKing without the Porn? I mean, come on! How many people would really eat there if they didn't have Jugs, Hustler and Barely Legal at every booth?
Well, in terms of theft, it will likely be handled much like real life theft--petty stuff will be stolen by amateurs, and they'll attempt to pawn it through clearinghouses who will try to then sell it on Ebay. The big, big stuff will have a buyer long before it's stolen. The FBI would, of course, be interested in either kind of theft--since it almost certainly crosses state boundaries. Yeay! Just what we need--more feds and spooks floating around the net.
No real researcher at Johns Hopkins would claim that handwriting changes indicate personality changes. Such meaningless babble is the mark of a pseudoscientist, such as a graphologist (handwriting analyst). Jeers to CommanderTaco, for not catching this piece of satire and marking as such. And Jeers to those who did not read the disclaimer and realize it's bogus.
Look at it--the only way this thing will cause cancer is REPEATED exposure. i.e., LOTS and lots of exposure. They only people who will get that are the various MS evangelists running around, the habitual business-travelers, and the unfortunate field-techs who have to fly out to the ends of the Earth to fix some piece of equipment. This will affect a VERY small percentage of the population. The average pleasure traveler probably wouldn't pick up much more radiation than a dental X-ray. *shrug* Big deal. We get those done regularly...
I can get cases for the above prices locally. The AT has a 250 watt power supply, and the $60 does have a 235. What I really want is an inexpensive case that doesn't _look_ like an inexpensive case. And one that doesn't have a cover that takes David Copperfield or Penn and Teller to put back on correctly. A nice, all-over hunter green would be nice. I guess I'll have to paint it myself...

My first thought, when Ken said that Harvard would delete all his data, was that we weren't getting the whole story.
Do we have _proof_ that Harvard threatened to destroy all data, or was it just the accusation of a lone man?
I checked Google, but it was not cached there. It looks like Ken put all his eggs in one basket, and is now horrified because his basket has been confiscated.
Methinks he should have had offsite backups, such as 'in his hands'.

If the police interrogate you at ANY time, for ANY reason, this is the only proper response:
"I want a lawyer."
