    a 1.5 GHz system with Max DDR 2700 RAM and a SATA 10000 RPM Drive with a 16 MB cache will be as fast as the fasted intel CPUs in such a set up, unless you are doing some Processor intensive operations on a continuous basis.

    which is why AMD and IBM use SOI technologies.

    well then AMD is even worse off than I thought.

    and since IBM uses SOI I can expect that AMD is having similar issues.

    nope, even AMD has had trouble ramping at 90nm look at how far tehy went last year with it, only 400 MHz.

    VoIP can also be PC to Phone.

    but regardless back in 2000 MSN Messenger 3.0 allowed free PC to Phone communication and now it does not.

    I can use Apple's iChat to talk to people PC to PC so it is not a big deal.

    when it comes to public health concerns what matters is the disbursement of the radioactive waste, not the potency (which is still pretty high).

    10s of pounds of Highly radio active waste that is contained safely out of the way and not exposed to the environment is a much better option than 10s of tons of moderately radioactive waste that is spread over hundreds of thousands of square miles annually.

    pound for pound, a coal power plant makes vastly more radio active waste.

    Coal power is even less safe than Nuclear. the radio active waste produced by Coal is greater than Nuclear and is spread over large areas every day.

    personally, I think we should be reprocessing the waste into safer materials so that we can move them or reuse them.

    the thing is that China has learned from its communist cousins and has decided that rather than offer reforms when demanded to do so, they would put down dissidence and slowly change to Capitalism (what they call economic liberalization) and then in the next 10 years, they will allow the people small amounts of rights like fair trials where you are presumed innocent and have to be proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt by a jury of your peers, after that, they will have to be careful because any changes further toward social rights can result in an attempt to grab power. in the ned, a constitution will be written by the powers in the government that will protect incumbents and have lots of voting fraud, but it will give the people a sense that they are free enough which will keep them in line for a long while.

    hmm, lets see....

    perhaps because of the fact that all Luke did at that point was to get really pissed off and strike out of rage.

    that is pretty dangerous stuff and if Luke killed the Emperor in one blow, then Vader would have been the next target and would have been forced to wiipe the floor with Luke rather than recruit him. recall the amount of tempering that took place after they got his steel hot? that was important because it was shaping the rage and directing it, besides, the Emperor did not need Vader to stop the blade, he could have Force pushed Luke away and achieved the same effect.

    so I would say that you have a beef if in this next film Anikin is not, as one of Mace Whindue's Alter Egos would say, "One Bad Ass Motha Fucka"

    just be glad Lucas did not pick what's his name from Titanic to be Anikin.
