Idiot. Athlon64/Sempron64 lines are on average about 4-5x times more power/heat efficient than comparable PIV/Celeron CPUs. That's under full load. On idle AMD cpus use even less (CnQ and all that). Also - due to on-chip memory controllers in AMD cpus, north bridges are basically absent on socket754/socket939 mobos which helps reduce overall power consumption / heat build-up in your computer case.
Never heard about these: pbb, Outfoxed, dyne:bolic. Also - I think it is not fair to include websites to the list: yes, I can add/change content on both Wikipedia and to a lesser degree other sites, but I wouldn't call content "source". As for the source - it is as easy for me to change Wikipedia's engine as any other site (i.e. - not very likely). More - Mediawiki has a separate entry.
To all the fellow geeks - do read S.Lem's short book: "The upside-down evolution (Weapon systems of the 21st century)".
Actually, I think, if ever we get a system of total and global surveillance available to anyone (a net of spy-bugs, cameras, mikes etc etc), or in other words - a complete and universal lack of privacy... I don't think that would be a horribly bad idea. Actually, if done properly it may be a bloody good thing to happen to humankind. Yes, you can "spy" on your parents, or girl next door, or your president, or "enemy" millitary command, any time, anywhere, but then so do they...
Guess it could be an interesting ethical and kinda philosophical topic, but generally I think we will be better off without secrets. Maybe.
Still a long way to go, but if you are a university figure interested in humanitarian issues, this could be a good topic to write something about.
Since early 1980's? Probably they knew that. But in early 1970's, Allen and Gates were just a couple of nerdy students, sharing a belief that the future is in household computers.
And I guess having very rich parents with "connections" helps too.

No shit.
So he should call it "Gayger".

Totally useless and does not look cool. Let's hope that at least it is more scratch-proof.
Mmm, mice.... Crispy and with ketchup. Yummy!

Sue your lawyers.
Magic.
I like Wikipedia but I thought Wiki were made famous by c2.com.
You just cannot see it because you are using an obsolete OS.
What OS will it run? GNU of course! - Google's Not Unix.
XBox360? How 'bout Happy-Fun-XBox?

Christ, even the comments are dupes these days.
Be thankful it does not require a _region-coded_ floppy drive!!!
Maybe he was just busy with "superweed" since then. Time flies you know....
Actually, Dual Processor == Dual Core. Really - who the fuck cares about "casing"?

"Uhm, we _need_ to change 'No' button to 'Review' - that should be easy to do, right? 5 seconds worth, right?" - so said the boss.
That should be MPAA, you stupid first-poster! ;)
