Secondly, in what conceivable way would an Itanium or an Opteron be at the heart of a PERSONAL computer? They're both server/workstation chips, and designed and marketed as such.
"It may be easy to type a short command in a shell window, but most end-user/average consumer types are deathly afraid of the command-line. (I'd like to blame DOS's shitty CLI for this, as bash and the C shells are nice.)"
When was the last time a GUI gave you a syntax error message?
What's wrong with that? Nimrod was reputedly the founder of Babylon and/or the architect of the Tower of Babel.
A lot of RN ships have really dull names like HMS York or some other place name. I rather like things like "HMS Fantastic", "HMS Unstoppable" or even "HMS Comeandavaagoifyouthinkyourehardenuff".

You're clearly a total fucking moron. I am English, and I can assure you that "superior" is the correct spelling in English.
Why don't you join Mensa too, you seem to be dumb enough?
a typo in a sig? please...
Firstly, AMD DON'T MAKE computers.

Your superior intellect shows up very clearly in your awesome spelling proficiency.
you've got to admit that it IS pretty, though!
"They pretty much know what forums to monitor for feedback , usually intelligent and insightful,"
You gotta be shittin me!
Which forums would these be, pray tell?

Using a CLI for the status is genuinely pathetic.
it doesn't HAVE a videoCARD
eh?
Pretty easy to imagine actually. It would probably look like the Roman or British Empires did.
it's a cut n' paste job - no creativity involved.
driven it!

loved it!
been all over the 'States - it's almost as beautiful as Europe!
no one can
it's more of an aspiration

I'm simply an AI sent to torment the American unwary who post comments on Slashdot stories.

Funny thing is, I quite like America - California is especially beautiful, and that Grand Canyon - great stuff!

"HMS Quite Easy to Sink with an Exocet" doesn't really have the same ring to it though, does it?
"I truly loathe you."
Good stuff for a Friday afternoon - that'll really put a spring in my step over the weekend!

bankrupted?
how's that national debt of YOURS doing these days?
Is that for when Canada finally invades?
How do 12 aircraft carriers stop box cutter wielding fanatics hijack a plane and crash it into the White House?
Just curious, it's just the USA seems to be armed to the teeth with OFFENSIVE weapons...
Nice ship.

get a fucking spellchecker installed
