I seriously doubt many people are goign to be trying to use Celerons (even dual) as their servers. why not go out and get a single PIII or better yet, a Xeon...i work with Alphas and Intels, and we see that usually, 2 Xeons do the work of 1 alpha chip.. so i'm sure that the celeron would require at least a dual SMP setup to compete with a Xeon...why bother??? if intel thinks that people will use SMP celeron servers, they must be smokin somethin wacky...
as far as cars go, the carburators of 50-70 gave way to much better technology (fuel injection). i don't think this was done to spite the home mechanics, but to improve perfomance, fuel effiency, reduce pollution, etc...it's just better...so i'm not sure how well this analogy holds.
regardless of the IQ of the person suing (as many of you pointed out, he might not be the brightest), pepsi f*cked up...when you see commertials with race cars and stunts that say "proffecional driver, don't try...". the responsible companies cover their asses against litigation. Pepsi didn't...how's the guy to know how much a jet costs??? even if he did, it sounded like a good deal if you had the $700K...this isn't about the jet, but about pepsi being responsible. the kid should appeal. he should have won. that would have taught pepsi a lesson... think of it as punitive damages for misleading the stupid and naive public:-)
(maybe then they won't have enough money to pay that annoying girl with the voices in the ads...god i hate her!!!)

i love my palmpilot (III, even though V looks cooler, it's way more $$$, and no significant improvements.) but i find that even a $200 piece of technological marvel can help me improve my time management skills. sure, it's great for email and phone number tracking (especially, when you're double booting into NT and linux, and can't have one address book:-( but the "to do" list, and the calendar don't help me at all. i just can't stick to them...even modern technology can't make me STOP being a slacker....
i'm sure i'm not the only one. come on, you're wasting time reading/. right now;-)
if anyone has an invite that they can't or won't use (for lack of citizenship, or $$$), and wants to "team up", let me know. i'd be willing to provide a little capital to someone who wants in, but can't afford it. email me at punkigor@usa.net
if you want, you can partner with someone (ME) and go in on it now. If one person has the invite, and the other has the capital, i don't see what's wrong with it. if interested, email me at punkigor@usa.net
I don't know if the IPO offer is transferable, but i'm sure that there are people that would be interested. I'm one of them (hint..hint..). this could be a way to benefit the linux-user community by "spreading the wealth" a bit wider than RedHat envisioned (less exculisionist too).

--carburators suck...so do celerons

i would love to. perhaps you'd make it easier for us (if you are serious of course) by not making us hunt for your email address, like RedHat did.
