Well, we'll still need to power the chip and the cooling device (not a passive heatsink). So you better check how many and how loud the fans on your power unit are.
One reason why you can "install DOS 5 on a 2Ghz Pentium" is that it still has that brain-dead A20-gate. IOW it's fully compatible even with things that were a bad idea when implemented >10 years ago. BTW, you'll have trouble with Win95 on that 2GHz P4, because the LOOP instruction (IIRC) is now too fast for some tests (the AMD K6-2 had similar problems some years ago).
... Mac OS X won't run on these old Macs, it says it is not supported. When Apple says "not supported", they mean you're on your own with any problems that come up (unlike other companies, who mean by "not supported" "may create rift in space-time continuum that would wipe out our sector of the galaxy.")
Big Brother isn't the tele-surveilance, it's your neighbours, friends and family. Read the book, instead of just repeating the old catch phrases. Think for yourself, big Brother doesn't want you to think.
Oh, they looked out for all sorts of terrorists alright, but how are you going to identify somebody as a terrorist when the only unusual thing about them is that they (unlike most other students) paid their TV licence?
There is no proof at all that terrorists use encription. All email found was plain text, some used a "secret words" code. They sometimes used Arabic or other languages which made it hard for "intelligence" to understand it.
The problem is that a single buggy or malicious process can block the whole computer until the user intervenes - which takes all the fun out of PMT. If lower priorities were simply scheduled less often instead of not at all, things would be fine.
Let's not forget that the Amiga's fixed priority PMT had some issues, like higher priorities always blocking lower ones, which ment those could be starved. E.g. (AFAIK) the process to display the icons of a newly opened window had a high priority, but was quite slow for large numbers of files. At long as it was running, lesser processes would not run, putting PMT basicaly out of order.
All I remember Watcom for are the claims how evil Byte and Apple were to use the Watcom compiler when comparing PPCs with Pentiums with the Bytemarks benchmark. Maybe it time has passed then, what is the point of it now.

A "letter with a suspicious white powder" sounds more like mail-order cocain to me.
Isn't TRON used in the motor-mangement for the hydrogen powered rotary engines in Lightcycles?
The man for entertainment is Balmer.
They already have send old date several times. That's the whole point of getting more new data.
So what do you suppose we calculate to get into space?

Which they wouldn't have been (because the room was in the Proles part of town), if they hadn't already been turned in by O'Brien.
Well, he knows how to build and tear down strawmen.
Well, 1.7 TeraFLOPS == 1.7 TeraFLOPs per second.

If one of the articles had been written by someone else but that pompous ass "Thomas C Greene in Washington", I would care.
Just be a Prole, and nobody will care what you do.
Any plans for a PPC / AltiVec version?
So is the US.

What's really silly is that GPS uses such a weak signal that if you call 911 from inside your car, they can't get your position.
OTOH, it can't be worse than gcc ;-)
Well, if it's big enough to know the orbit, its too big to be pushed by the impulse from a Laser.
Actually many people tried to block them, mostly because they had slow connections.
