Is it possible for Intel/AMD to make those chips so I can turn off the x86 emulation crap and use internal RISC directly... so everyone could slowly migrate away from x86 and CISC?
I think with that kind of money you should buy
Dual-Opteron machine (with 244 or 246 cpu) and
let it be built by some local not-so-expensive company (or even yourself). If corporate support is really not so important, then don't buy from IBM/HP/you-name-it (you will end up paying up to two times more than neccessary).
Itanium2 is out of your league and there is no point spending money on half-baked (and cloned from AMD) 64bit Xeon. Opteron's hypertransport and on-die memory controller is what makes real difference to intel's old architecture.
a dual-core CPU
The only CPU roadmap that even shows these, let alone within the next 2-3 years, is the PowerPC. With the Xbox2 going PowerPC, and.net being CPU indepdendent...nah.
You are wrong. AMD is planning to bring dual-core Opterons to market as early as next year. Search amdzone for more information.
About Atlantis being in Antarctica is what this site and writer talks about in his books.
Btw his books about atlantis are quite good reading. He covers not only Atlantis but every other subject imagenable vaguely connected to it. Kind of entertaining reading about history and different theories floating around not so often talked about.
You'll fix it anyway in this case. Processor just stops your program executing where earlier your program could continue running.
So if you don't like customers who hate you because your program is not running on newer proccessors - you'll fix it. The proccessor doesn't prevent anything - it just sends your running code down the pipe.
What is the problem is, is the lack of quality drivers.
And why is that so? Because it seems to be too damn hard to write a decent and modern driver to X.
I can't really think of any other reason why for example nvidia doesn't want to use GL and DRI for X and implements all from start.
And X really is big. > 50MB compressed source code for what? To display a picture without correctly implementing modern features of GUIs? c'mon even 2.6 kernel is smaller. and both are written in C.
X's code must be a mess (and it is, if you look closely).
One just can't deny that there are deep problems in X.
Don't know. It was explained that 939 pin socket cpus need 4-layer mobos. And 940 pin cpus 6-8 layer mobos. Manufacturing of 4-layer ones should be cheaper.
But given the price of this particular cpu I must conclude that those extra $$ doesn't matter.

You all might find this an interesting reading on the subject.
It was possible earlier (<4.3) too (to run cronjobs). Just use php's cgi binary with -q option. like: php -q script.php

And how's that? Please enlighten me.
So why they did it now not centuries ago? I mean dynamic linking has been known widely used concept for a while now.
... so important it is submitted to and accepted by /.?

Follow this link ... 2.8Ghz Athlon FX for talk and benchmarks.
P4 Emergency Edition looks like from past centruy in light of this. Ok, probably one can overclock that chip too.
MySQL does NOT do subselects.
Yes it does. Starting with version 4.1 if I'm not mistaken.

Good comment. My thoughts are with you :)
We are not far away from a company
called Corporation. The only company...
