There is a book on the O'Reilly Safari Bookshelf (free trial available)called IT Organization : Building A World Class infrastructure. While not 100% devoted to your topic of interest, some sections from the Table of Contents seem like they may help you.
"...The chip is dubbed Godson-2 and is the follow-on to a 32-bit, 266-MHz version released last year that is aimed at the embedded systems market. ...snip... Godson-2, which has also been translated into English as Dragon or Longxin, has already been prototyped. "
uh... since when is "Longxin" English?
no entry in the Dictionary
In the AOL "Mail Center" there is an option to "Allow ALL mail". I take it this doesn't work, or that AOL should change it to "Allow all mail that we decide to let through..." ?
...Otherwise, I'll hoof it down to the library and check it out...Libraries are cheaper than this Safari system
You prolly spend more on gas (or sneakers), not to mention TIME "hoofing" it down to the library. And don't you hate when the library book is checked out or not carried yet?
Not liking to read online is a valid concern, but the comparative cost of Safari is so low as to be irrelevant.
With a cursory glance, you can roughly tell what schools of thought they subscribe to, who they've read, their area of expertise, what subjects they're familiar with.
WILL : Did you buy all these books retail, or do you send away for like a "shrink kit" that comes with all these volumes included?
SEAN : Have you read all these books, Will?
WILL : Probably not.
SEAN : (indicating a shelf) How about the ones on that shelf?
Will's eyes flicker up to the shelf for an instant.
WILL : Yeah, I read those.
SEAN : What did you think?
WILL : I'm not here for a fuckin' book report. They're your books, why don't you read'em?
SEAN : I did.
WILL : That must have taken you a long time.
SEAN : Yeah, it did take me a long time.
Sean says this with pride. His determined stare and confident manner catch Will a bit off guard. Will rises from his chair
and goes to the shelf.
WILL : (looking at book) "A History of the United States, Volume I." If you want to read a real history book, read Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States." That book will knock you on your ass.
SEAN : How about Noam Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent?"
WILL : You people baffle me. You spend all this money on beautiful, fancy books-- and they're the wrong fuckin' books.
Some interesting excerpts for those to lazy to click through:
"...any person who 'invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent,' subject to the conditions and requirements of the law."
The patent law specifies that the subject matter must be "useful."
"... patent cannot be obtained upon a mere idea or suggestion. The patent is granted upon the new machine, manufacture, etc..."
Re:Was there an EVA examination, if not why not?

..They could have went to ISS, probably, probably not, no idea...
exactly my point.. you don't seem to be informed at all... read the stuff that is out there... NASA has repeatedly said that the Internation Space Station (ISS) was NOT an option because of the different orbits and the fact that Columbia was a "heavy" orbiter.

I think NASA has explained quite often, and clearly, that even if someone could have "gone overboard" to look at any damage (which is a very very dangerous maneuver), there is *nothing* that could have been done. No place for them to go but down, back through the atmosphere.
There is a DIY "kit" or you can send it back to apple.
from the actual article: Install the kit yourself or have it installed for you...Or have a service provider install the kit for you
additionally, it says
"After you have ordered and received the kit, take your computer and kit to a retail Apple Store (U.S. only) or Authorized Apple Service Provider if you do not feel comfortable performing the exchange yourself or are concerned that you may damage the computer while doing so. Please note, however, that you may be charged an installation fee to cover the cost of labor. Prices may vary.

Ironicly like most thinks in Linux/BSD that have to do with networking, it runs so much faster!
No... it ISN'T ironic
There was an IEEE Computer magazine article on this in March 2001.
It was titled: Sketching Interfaces: Toward More Human Interface Design
Go to the The IEEE Computer Society and search the title in the Digital Library if you want more info. (IEEE membership required).
But does it run Linux?
nope, doesn't "run Linux"... but it DOES runLinux applications.
The Washington Post discusses the origins of the term.
yes. someone on local radio (WTOP) from the military (retired) said they have been using that term "for years".
Good info at military.com

..For all intensive purposes,...
what exactly is an intensive purpose?
did you mean "intents and purposes?"
Was there supposed to be more than 3 pages to the article...
Yes... on page 2, there are links to 5 other article pages.
He didn't mention Moz or Chimera ...
Yes he did, on page 3 of the article.
nope. I didn't realize their server was so feeble.
yes. it is slow... I could have first posted loooonnng before you did, but I thought it was in bad form to first post my own submission....

reminds me of this scene from Good Will Hunting :

Does anyone have any theories as to why this comet never tore itself completely apart once it got so close to the sun?
Yeah, why didn't it go POOF!
