Steel doors on the cockpit that can only be opened when the plane is at the gate, or a door that can only open when the outside door is open. Take the descision away from the pilot. What does a pilot need to come back into the cabin for anyway? Put a head and a galley in the cockpit.
This makes complete sense and I was wondering when it was going to happen. I would suspect that we will see Intel doing the same.
If you look at the Intel road map, specifically, to the next generation chipset, the IA64, you will see that it is slated to come out at something like 800mhz. No general consumer is going to pay a premium for a 800mhz chip, even though a IA64 at 800mhz will knock the socks off a P4-2ghz.
The consumer has been trained that MHZ are THE measuring stick of processors. As a rule of thumb on like processors that works. IA64 changes all of that, and marketing has to change as well.
I don't know what everyone here is getting all worked up over. Anyone (just about anyone) who reads/. knows which processors to buy, and we don't just pick our processors based on a marketing name. We all look at benchmarks etc and do our comparisons there. The average joe doesn't get it anyway, no mater what the hell the write on the box.

Yeah, and we can run it on a Wintel box....
You are so right.... Targeting Pearl Harbor really did nothing to change our nation.....
