"The Forge of God" and "Anvil of Stars" (sequel) are the best IMHO "Moving Mars" was a bit dry and political in places, but had a really interesting ending (let slip the hounds of war). "Queen of Angels" was a bit weird, but in a good way. Kind of Gibson-esque I thought.
1 core for the OS "because when no applications are running the OS still needs its own core"
1 core for your music player "because you need a dedicated core to handle all that DMA'd I/O"
1 core for Firefox/Thunderbird "because that core will be so busy while you are reading the text it just downloaded for you. And you need a separate core to monitor the network traffic that is mostly handled by your NIC hardware (see DMA above)"
1 core for compiling "because everyone knows that real man don't do make -j5"

Um, maybe tune the filter to block the red->infrared, leaving the blue->green->yellow->orange for the plants? Or is that hopelessly naive?
Arguably better than 'Walla'. Yes, I've seen it spelled that way.
Well, I was going for +1 Funny there. A 2x4 is a piece of wood used in construction. Core 2 Quad == 2x4. Get it? Nevermind.
I don't know about you, but I'm planning on building my new home with these new Intel Core 2x4's.
re: your sig - I wonder what happened to the people who tested Preparations A-G.

I believe you are thinking of a different Stokes.

Wow! All this time Yoda was speaking in Forth?
Or is this just some Soviet Russia mind-trick?

You told it wrong!
