My department at school is planning to purchase several hundred of these to create a Beowulf cluster. Does anyone have an esmimate on how closely we could pack them together before they would have to be actively cooled?
I don't know if I am alone on this, but I really don't like the idea of a multi-player Myst. Part ot the mystique (no pun intended) of the game was the isolation, walking around alone on an island trying to piece a story together that might have taken place decades ago. I used to get spooked playing that game,
sitting alone at night with the speaker volume up, wondering if at the next turn something would poke its head out.
Antialiased fonts are nice, but I'd prefer if someone fixed of the existing broken parts of Gnome instead.
For example, fix the awkward text-selection mechanism in gnome-terminal. It's always half a character off compared to the "industry standard" way this should work. Go look at any Windows or Mac application and copy it's behavior.
Or, implement any of the changes suggested in Sun's recent Gnome usability study. Each of those things are far more important than antialiased fonts.
I appreciate the wonderful work that went into adding the antialiased fonts, but in the future, please concentrate more on fixing the crufty broken parts of Gnome rather than adding flashy new features. Thank you.

And "meat" !!!
Also, Microsoft's OS now supports more than 640K.
