Quick summary for slashdot's readers:
1.AMD rocks (generally good, til their CPU prices are lower Intel's and we can overclock cheap Athlons to save some $$$)
2. Intel sucks (Pentium IV = really bad, PentiumM = good but pricy, but we still hate intel today, because they are evil)
3. IBM rocks (good boys, cause they support Linux and can beat SCO's ass)
4. There are some companies in a world but we don't give a shit until Linux can run on their processors.
They'd managed to build 50ft rose-robot just for stupid parade and after that NASA tell us they can't afford a new safe space shuttle?! Oh, please!! Next time they will build some flying reindeer-robots for Santa or walking apple-pie-robots for Mothers Day!!
Nice budget planning!
unfortunately it will be made entirely of flowers and will not attempt to enslave the crowd. However, they have mounted a camera to it, which will allow you to view the parade from the top of their creation.
Just another damn peaceful robot! But but they still can at least mount an additional 100mW green laser and try to blind nearby flying airplanes!
Until they have ANY kind of ActiveX enabled by default for all sites FireFox is safe.
What MS can do quickly is to release quick patch via windowsupdate which will disable all ActiveX by default and allow it only from trusted (whitelisted) sites with a BIG HUGE WARNING like this:
"I'm a stupid fucking idiot and allow this binary to run without any restriction on my computer.", type: "YES I AM",
next window: "I do understand what this ActiveX can delete all information, be a virus or spyware and I'm brave enough to Allow This"
Just like in Windows2003 default IE enhanced security configuration but more user friendly:)
What humanity really need is a breakthrough in an effective source of clean energy. If all nations will get free and cheap energy it will solve huge number of a political and social problems in a world. No more oil wars, cheap transportation and so on.
And a biology of cause. I am just wondering how much it could bring to the world if Bush spend all Iraq campaign money for biology researches? Cure for cancer or HIV? Next generations of antibiotics which will kill only specific viruses?
Let's try someday to spend more money on fundamental researches, not war or political games and see what we will get.
Sorry, but in a corporate environment you just can't replace Wintel PC's with Mac right now. Why?
* Group policy * - centralized security distribution point and software installation.
How much time it will take to replace a web proxy server settings on a 1000 Mac's without group policy?
How do you change network drive mappings from main server to backup on a user computers without GPO?
Try to run gpedit.msc and look how many settings you can change from a group policy in AD.
Apple need truly integrate OSX with Active Directory or offer some replacement.
Sure no viruses/spyware is a huge plus, but without centralized management Macs are not ready for wide adaptation.
just can't buy a simple generator which will be working on coal or some other sort of energy?!
But * pedals *?!!! Come one! It is the new millenium already!
I don't know much about PIX, but i've used a dozen of 1000,1500,1600, 2500, 2600 cisco routers and access servers.
Cisco's networking setup is MUCH better, logical and *documented* (show me GOOD iptables documentation, anyone?!) that linux or *bsd.
It took me several hours to implement very simple ip policy routing in linux, and it is still looks like more a hack..i did the same task on cisco router in 10 minutes.
Setting traffic shapers, queue priorities and so on just a matter of minutes. And you have more networking features which linux have not got yet even with the cheap 500$ used 1005 cisco router.
However, sometimes there are nasty bugs in cisco's IOS, but you can almost avoid it by using latest stable IOS release.

Any links where i can also buy some fricken sharks?!
Just to add /.

Lets hope a server will survive

I dunno about the details of VapoChill...
refrigerator with computer inside
Screw it! I want my own flying car * now * !
Yea, but at least it's not the another dupe story!
You'd think that the story editors would try to mantain some kind of quality control
:)
I think they just need more quality mantainers, just like you
Will we ever get a good single sign-on solution?
Yeap. This is really easy.
all you need is just enter "linux single" during lilo startup.
We don't want to refuel old crappy satellites!
Please let them * burn * and then launch new generation satellites build on nanotechnology - they will be small and efficient!
It is time to start porting windows on it!
Just imagine, we will able to run your favorite Windows application on it and use it as expensive PC!
I'm quite sure that if we buy many Cocoons and then don't run their linux software, they have lost money!!!
That will surely be the cruel punishment for evil Sony corporation!
So Long, and Thanks For All The MP3!

I hope that IBM have patented Underpants Gnomes (c) profit formula 2002:
Step 1: Hooks dorm washers and dryers to Internet
Step 2: Collect underpants (my favorite part!)
Step 3: Profit!!!

Why fork out thousands of dollars to learn Cisco's PIX firewalling product when you can build your own for under 800 Australian Dollars?
Because it is illegal and you will go to jail for stealing CISCO's intellectual property.
It does not add any performance to the system... and you have less chances for overclocking FSB...
Wow!
This must be twice better than Gillete Mach3 system !!
No one will ever even imagine a beowulf cluster of these Palladium PCs!! Damn!
