OK, Thaks for the info. I thought people were promoting they/them/their/themselves/etc as a drop-in replacement for third-singular personal pronouns and related forms.
You must have missed the whole singular "they" argument for non-gender biased third singular. Personally, I'm in favour of it, but since I'm no native English speaker, my vote doesn't count.
IANAL, but from what I understand, under the GPL you can't sell the software itself.
Your understanding of GPL is incorrect. You can sell GPLed software just like any other software. You just can't forbid your consumer to do the same.
What you can't directly sell is the source code to someone you already have given/sold the binary (note that you are under no obligation to supply source code to anyone asking for it, you have to supply only to those who got the binary from you.) In that case the maximum you can charge for supplying the source code is price of medium (like blank CD) and shipping.
Of course you can sell the source code at any price you like to someone who had not bought/taken the binary from you. That is just like selling the binary+source code without the binary.
AMD has shipped its 1,000,000,000+th CPU. An AMD spokesperson told us the number is not to be compared with Intel's shipments. Instead it based on the ratio of pin count of shipped CPUs. A CPU with twice as many pins as an AMD 80386 gets a shipment rating of 2+. With the recent launch of 4-way Opterons, AMD expects to reach 2,000,000,000+ mark next week, the spokesperson added.
I suggest YOU write one instead of telling others what to do.
Open source benchmarks will only give you the opportunity to fiddle with the benchmark to unearth hidden cheats but same thing can also be used tweak the benchmark one way to favor one hardware over another. IOW, it will be even harder to catch cheating/biased reviewers; not a very good idea.

glibc is part of GNU project and gcc compiled stuff is expected to link with it more often than not, so I concur about compatibility. I think glibc people be warned and should be fixed before release of gcc though.

I'm a chemical engineer, not a mechnaical engineer, so I may be wrong about the engines. But I see that you missing my point about the industry.
For example our current ICE's are very intolerant about bad fuel while the others designs you cite aren't. Most of gasoline isn't directly separated petrolium, but produced from it by not-so-inexpensive processes. However since we already invested billions of R&D to produce gasoline efficiently and trillions on refineries, it can be produced relatively cheaply. The fuel agnostic nature of, say, turbines aren't really a big bonus.
Injection is an evolutionary change while a turbine is a revolutionary one. You can't really compare the two.
No they are not useless from a technical POW. One of the alternative designs should be used if we had to redesign all of engines, factories, fuels, motor oil and car's form factors. The design we use now is not the best one, it just happens to be the one whole automobile industry is shaped around. So it can only be replaced if an alternative is significantly better, while -to my knowledge- no alternative design is.
I smoked 4-10 cigarettes a day for three years, 10-20 for one year, 20-40 for two years, 30-50 for another seven. My consumption went ever upward although it was somewhat constant in the beginning and after it had passed 2 packs a day barrier. At last I'm free of the addiction, after my sixth attempt...
Smoke if you will, but don't downplay its addictive effects. If I could keep my consumption down at 6 cigarettes, I would smoke, but I can't. Also 6 cigarettes a day is not as innocent as you think it is. It will put you in considerably (~x5 IIRC) higher risk of lung cancer compared to a non-smoker and about twice the risk of heart attack.
If you can use an older kde or gnome, but speed is bothering you, laugh all you will, but I just recommend to upgrade to newer kde. Kde 3.1.1+xfree 4.3 is faster and less resource intensive than kde 2.2.2+xfree4.2.1, and that is saying a lot (kde 2.2.2 was the fastest 2.x.) My current memory load (konq+licq+gkrellm+konsole+lots of eye candy), is under 90MBs, with 512MB ram+1Gb swap.
I recently decided to switch and ported one of my WIPs to linux. The program allocates about 400MB memory on startup in its default configuration. After working around the compiler differences, I ran it and immediatly went back to searching for the bug. The program started up much faster than the windows version. It took a lot of tests to convince myself the program was indeed operating as requested. I knew that malloc on SMP systems with NT wasn't very well performing but the difference with linux (2.4.20) was something like 5000%
The moral is, switch, although getting your fonts right will take a week, you will be pleasently surprised every once in a while.
Quad capable boards are useless if you don't pair them with four of quad SMP capable cpus. That will definetly dwarf 800$ price tag of the board, at least until atlon64 is the mainstream cpu and opterons are being mass produced too.

The 64-bit address space is so obscenely big, it should be plenty even then... but, then again, so was 4 GB when the '386 came out...
When 386 came out we already had exhausted 20bit adress space we had and trying funny hacks with accessing the memory thorugh the keyboard controller chip (not really but A20 thing was close enough.) And 32 bits merely 4096ed it. The transition from 32 bits to 64 bits will increase the addressable space 4 billion times, which is a million times higher than four thousand of 386. That should make this transition quite a bit more durable.
Say you get the crew off, what does one do with 100 tons of Shuttle in an uncontroled degrading orbit? Nothing at all. As TV commentators are (or used to be) so willing to remind, unless shuttle enters the atmosphere at a very specific angle, it will burn.
The shuttle is aliminum, which is something you can burn with a household match. The tiles and the ceramic nose are the only pieces of shuttle that is actually burnproof. If the tiles don't protect the body (that is something they can do only at a specific angle of attack) the whole body burns. Tiles themselves are very fragile, so they won't survive the flight either without a body supporting them) Only nose can survive and that is not very likely either.
