You win the prize for being the first person to do so in this thread. Congratulations. You have also won the SUPER BONUS PRIZE as this is now the ONE BILLIONTH TIME someone has blamed the Clinton administration for something the Bush administration dropped the ball on.
This thing is really for high-end CAD and photo/video work. IBM showed us their version of it back in December or January, same LCD panel with a different chassis and badge. If you want something cheaper, look around and you can find Dell 20" flat panels for 700-800 each. I got two with poker winnings for just over $1400 shipped.
We must surveil all tara-ists and evildoers! The President told me so! He also said my kids were gonna get blowed up good. So I'm'a vote for him come November! Hyuck!
Oh well. Back to watching NASCAR, drinking Miller High Life, making fun of Mexicans, beating my wife, and letting the grass in front of my tailer grow long enough to cover the late-model Ford Mustang up on cinderblocks in my front yard.
How many more times will this tired, worn out, old-and-busted, COMPLETELY FALSE excuse be used to implement draconian measures such as this before idiot Americans wake up and say "enough"?
Oh, well. One more reason to avoid Baltimore (the main reason being, it's Baltimore.)
What other applications besides games really tax the CPU right now?
Are you planning on a career in the computing field? If so, please send me your name and address info so I'll know never to hire you.
If you think the only thing a fast CPU is used for these days is playing "Unreal Tournament", you have no business managing (or even logging in to) the kinds of UNIX boxes some of us deal with on a daily basis. Yes, a faster CPU (or 24 of them) is more than necessary for some of the applications we run in the Real World.
No, we're not beta-testing the next "Doom". We're building aircraft.

Suppose you start with the best possible cards - AA.
Newbies around the table hold bullshit-crap
Someone is going to get two pair out of the board.
This is precisely why I switched to no-limit holdem.
I won't say how much I've won since then, but I will say I'm happy with the switch.

You're prolly the same type of person who thinks wearing "faux fur" is ok because it's not real fur and therefor not really symbolic of skinning an animal and wearing it's fur...
No, it's symbolic of my foot in the ass of people who come up with bullshit logic such as this. Jesus, what's wrong with you?
I did the same thing, and it's by far the best investment of $500 I've ever made, or at least my ass and back tell me so. This one has all the cool features and it's blue, too, so it matches the rug. Cheap and new, sometimes eBay is cool.
I actually helped build, and administer, the Comanche UNIX servers, among other UNIX boxes, at Sikorsky. They've taught me a healthy fear and respect for AIX.
Well, I use both XP and Win2K and have had no major problems with either of them. Of course, none of my five Windows machines are directly connected to the internet, and I don't use Outlook. Folks who do either of these things with their Windows boxes are insane.

A friend of mine just told me that comparing the two systems is like comparing cheque books with atms, which is not a bad analogy ;)
Except it is, because ATMs have paper trails.

It's not my fault slashdot's formatting code is about as reliable as a 72 Pinto with no fuel pump.
And yes, I now realize I assigned a variable improperly. Next time, I'll be sure to send my 15-second "+5, Funny"s to you to proofread.
In conclusion, eat a dick.

Is it really all that much faster than the Crusoe? I've got a Sony Vaio C1MW with an 866 MHz Crusoe in it and it's just barely fast enough as it is.

They check your slashdot user ID number. If it's low enough, you're in. Just like the old draft lottery in the 70's.

[Bush] isn't afraid to admit that he did wrong things, unlike his predecessor.
Then why won't he admit he lied about WMDs in order to invade and topple the government of Iraq?
