I think his complaint is that F is the hardest chord to barre since it is so close to the nut. Depending on the guitar action and your hand strength, it is sometimes impossible to strum a clean crisp F. To the original poster... try a different guitar, you may be pleasantly surprised.
SCO is the dark side of the open source movement.

In Feng-hsiung Hsu's book Behind Deep Blue, he states that the RS/6000 machines they used for Deep Blue were already sold to customers. There was a shortage of machines at the time, so they hijacked/borrowed the machines for the match, then shipped them off to the customers after the match (minus the Deep Blue chess hardware).

Each programming language has it's strengths and weaknesses. A good developer will choose the language that leverages these strengths (or uses the one his boss forces him to). But regardless of the choice, you can still hack away and get things done.
Take a look at the Hello World project for a glimpse at programming language diversity.
Part of the problem is that there are too many patents being granted for questionable "inventions". Patents are only supposed to be granted if the invention is "non-obvious".
Obviousness (is that a word?) is something that can be argued for almost anything. Given enough time, resources, and research, many things can be deemed as obvious.
Note that this article also states that:
Intel has also incorporated a substantial amount of redundant circuitry in the processor, Krewell said. Chipmakers often use redundant circuitry to boost yields. Sometimes, circuits come out scrambled on a finished chip. If the manufacturer has put in two sets of the same circuits, the chip will function properly because it can use the second set.
You could have a dual Pentium machine and not even know it:)
I guess this redundancy is why the chip has gone up 10% in size in the last couple of months... (see this article) which quotes:
One of the reasons for McKinley's bigger price tag, Krewell said, is that it will cover nearly 440 square millimeters in area--or more than twice that of the Pentium 4.
IBM got out of the olympics business because it isnt worth the investment.
Nobody makes a big deal if the site can handle millions of hits; is usable; has accurate info. But if something goes wrong, you can bet that everyone will be talking about how bad it is, and how IBM screwed up.
There is a small chance of failure, but a very high cost (negative PR and spin-doctoring to undo it) when failure occurs. There is a high chance of success, but little rewards to reap in the end. It's just not worth the risk.

There is no 'algorithm' that plays good poker yet, that I know of. It's not trivial.
Here's one that does a decent job: Polaris

I would also expect IBM to use Linux during the upcoming Olympics.
I doubt it since IBM ended it's sponsorship of the Olympic games after Sydney in 2000. The Olympics are now sponsored by Atos Origin.
