I think that this characterisation is unhelpful. Apple sell a platform. Intel sell a different kind of platform, and not to consumers but to computer manufacturers. Microsoft sells a development and user interface platform, primarily to the computer industry. Apple sell a platform to consumers, and that includes the iPod + Mac + OSX.
I wouldn't be surprised if Apple has some degree of internal struggle against Intel's platform of chipset and processor, unless they are sold to the Centrino platform for its mobile battery life.
I would have thought that the GPLv3's notion of supplying 'complete corresponding source code' -- the all the code and other data by which you can make your own exact-likeness 'object code' binary package -- would mean any DRM system which also follows the GPLv3 license will require your users also get its keys.
(We can argue about whether the GPLv3 needs to state its exclusion of DRM, but ensuring (i) that the people interacting with a computer program have a right to access its guts and (ii) that people can supply GPL-licensed works in either 'object code' binaries or 'corresponding complete source materials' will do enough to protect people from the restrictions of DRM.)
I don't think Sarge (Debian 3.1) has a graphical installer. Sarge's Installer page lists downloads which use the NCurses-based text installer. I think you can get the graphical installer with the present 'testing' distribution, Etch, which is expected to become the 'stable' Debian release in December, at this page.

Watch it, you! I'm working on replacing you with a blooming shell script too! All those buzzwords and you don't really know what you're talking about. Web 3.11 for Workgroups isn't best-of-breed i-enterprise synergy, it's long-view market leader innovation for maximised return on investment across a multi-disciplinary workflow of uncompromising fruity goodness. Please don't undersell the vision, man. And, man, am I buzzed about that vision. Woo!

I have replaced you with a shell script. You are no longer needed.
However, I have just replaced myself with two shell scripts: the one above and one taking my venture-lent millions and IPO'ing. Further, I have a patent to the business method of replacing employees with shell scripts and will IPO it to make millions. Then I'll write a shell script -- most likely in a different language, Ruby, Haskell, PHP, perhaps -- to do the same as a Web 2.0 thing before reinventing myself for Web 3.0 (there exists a business method patent for reinventing the same business methods again and again, but it's being contested by religions and crime syndicates).
P.S. Word to the wise about Web 3.0: it won't be stable until 3.1 and then 3.11 will bring real connectivity to the Web...
The Pentium M and Athlon 64 (when running in 32-bit mode) are comparable performers. I said that the Core Duo chips are not 64-bit processors. Your "even both cores would not be equal to one AMD 64 for most tasks" sounds a bit fanboytastic -- what did you mean?

It uses the new Core Duo processor, which is the product name of the Yonah chip. This is a tweaked Pentium M, puts two their cores on one piece of silicon. They say each core is comparable to an Athlon64 -- but they only have 32-bit x86 capabilities (albeit with the SSE3 instructions).

I think that the relationship is controlled by the "Manage Identities" section. A given identity (name and e-mail address) is associated with a given account, so that sent e-mail is saved in that account. That account also has an associated SMTP server, through which all e-mail from a given identity passes. I use it to separate work e-mail from private stuff, and I pick which of my e-mail addresses and SMTP systems the e-mail is sent from in a drop-down box in the Compose window.

Oh! I've misunderstood his "cryptoviral attack... takes data as a hostage, encrypted [sic.] with the author's public key" as refering to the public key of the data's author, not the malware's author. Thanks.
I found the article hard to follow because of its unclear English and unhelpful lack of punctuation. Perhaps it is a transcribed presentation. I'm not convinced that the person writing it is a helpful security consultant, because, in the article, he fails to point out that something encrypted by a private key (and we're to assume the author means public/private key paired encryption) is easily recovered with the private key:
A cryptoviral attack basically takes data as a hostage, encrypted with the author's public key, naturally wiping out the unencrypted data, and demanding a ransom for it.
Aside: I now have a great excuse for being pulled in by intelligence agencies: a virus encrypted my files and I haven't yet restored them (because I can do this sort of unencryption painlessly later).
It's not a great paper. A great paper would have been written clearly (and not submitted by it's author: that's how I'm interpreting the Anon's "All these questions and more are answered in the well written (MHO) Future Trends of Malware").
Th Ahtlon64 FX line is AMD's enthusiast chip. It's clock multiplier is unlocked for overclockers; the FX-60 is intended for gamers as patches arrive for games enabling them to make use of multi-threading capabilities of a dual-core processor. I understand that the games may be little more than hacks to offload some of the work to the second core and to make sure that the primary game thread has a core to itself, but this wouldn't be possible with only a single processing engine in your computer.

I enjoyed the Ars Technica commentary that points to Coherent HyperTransport as a huge strength for AMD in the cheap supercomputer arena.

The Wikipedia wasn't entirely clear. Can you explain it to me without all that jargon?
Would GRUB do it? I hear there is an EFI-compatible edition around.
Thanks for that. :-)

Apparently you can have black holes orbiting one another. But it's never going to be good for anyone nearby.

I should point you in this direction: http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=173613&cid =14444511 points out the Sourceforge projects for ext2 support in Windows, OSX and OS/2. Linking to them by cut-n-paste would be karma-whoring.
