Yes they would show him to the door, because his job is to make money for the shareholders.
If your bank sent you a letter and told you that they had decided that a new policy would be to reduce 20% of your savings annually in order to increase the wages of their local branch tellers so they could match cost of living increases and ensure employee comfort would you (or the average joe) keep banking there? Nope... so why would any shareholders keep money in Intel if they can make more money elsewhere... answer... they won't.
Furthermore... despite all the hoopla about buying domestic... most people don't check every single thing they buy for where it was made. They buy whatever offers the best value, so if AMD outsourced their work to a place that had cheaper labor and thereby reduced the cost of operations and thereby reduced the price per chip... then Intel would in a tough spot, would most likely lose sales, and would eventually be in a weaker competitive position, which would reduce their shareholder value.
Now since both companies are in the U.S. one might argue that you have to legislate that these companies keep jobs here. This is a Benedict Arnold policy, pandering to the fears and pains of today's masses while selling out the future. Yes would protect some higher paying domestic jobs today if we keep companies from outsourcing, but this would be giving away competive advantages to foreign companies who WOULD take advantage of lower costs of skilled labor in other countries. So in 10 years, you could have an Indian/Chinese/ that could enter our market, drastically undercut our prices, and still make good/better profits. Our companies would fold, investments dollars would flow out of the U.S. and future generations would have a much more difficult time finding quality work.
This article is some type of honeypot

Surely this article is some type of redneck nerd tracking honeypot. Only for those home on Friday night, reading Slashdot, reading articles about 10 year old "robots" that breath fire and eat cars, a robot that doesn't run Linux. It can't be news...
Some geek was just inspired to send in a request to install Linux on this thing... somewhere... anywhere... pretty please let us install it.
And when then day comes... just think what you could do with a Beowolf cluster of those car eating, fire breathing, Linux running, crowd pleasing monsters. Oh yeah!
Probably because we've finally confirmed that it doesn't run Linux... it's honestly kind of shameful that it took geeks 10+ years to figure out something that the Redneck masses have known for years.
The people that make these movies do so because they want people to see them the way it was made. The director takes the script and makes it his/her own work of art. Censoring even one word from the movie is detracting from the vision the director had when the movie was made.
Many movies compromise the director's vision for sales! Money drives the industry, not some high minded art-house "taste". Just look at the # of director's cuts, and DVD extras that explain cut-scenes as "we tried to shorten the movie for the audience"... that's not artistic integrity, it's entertainment and marketing. Too, there are movies that add R-rated content just to get the R rating, it adds nothing to the story, adds no artistic value... it's for shock, or for skin, it's for sales.
This product is a CHOICE... that's all. If people CHOOSE to buy it and use it fine, and if they don't buy it who cares. Let the market decide. People frequently watch TV movies that have been edited for screen size or content or time or who knows what else. But we're not arguing whether or not that should happen (and to the purist out there who refuses to watch TV versions of movies, please don't buy this product).
Fundamentally this is an argument over whether or not a consumer should have the right to manipulate the content they have purchased. I think they should. I should be able to choose if I want to watch the movie in its full length version unedited or if I'd prefer to have certain content edited out... and I should be able to do so on a movie by movie basis.
Humm... as far as I know there is no guarantee in The Constitution stating that the government CAN'T implant RFID tags (and shock devices, cause that's really where we're going w/ this) into you, your dog , and the homeless guy living down the street. What are you trying to hide? Aren't you a patriot? Don't resits, assamiliate... it's much safer;)
Seriously... this is a great idea... except for the Windows NT and Windows CE. But the cost my be prohibitive, even with Linux. So maybe we could charge the homeless a small fee for the implant installation. Of course, there would be ongoing monitoring costs... so we'd need to charge an ongoing monitoring service fee. I guess that all breaks down though b/c the homeless don't have much money. But then again... they do have kidneys. So how 'bout we take a kidney in exchange for the implanted RFID tag and one-year's worth of free monitoring. Yeah, that's the ticket!

I've been waiting for this.
I don't know if I believe this article... something smells kind of funny about it.

with only a 10khz chip I guess I'm not going to be able to run Longhorn on my shoes after all.
I'd like to drive a herd of cattle.
Of course we're not going to tell you... there's only so much room here in this secret shelter... oh wait... doh!
oh wait I guess that wouldn't work... dang.

is just to use art that nobody would want to copy anyways. OpenOffice.org figured this one out earlier this week.
Ah yes, but when you get Windows drunk on Wine she's as free as a bird.

Well... I was thinking about it. Does Linksys have a firmware upgrade for my WAP?
