I once read a story about a couple who visited the Cheops pyramid during a vacation in Egypt. She touched one of the wall-paintings in the burial chamber, and licked her finger afterwards. The egyptian tour guide was very upset because you are not supposed to touch them. She died a few weeks later from infection of some ancient bacteria, that had survived there since the pyramid was built.
Tell that to Intel. Intel didn't want to release Celeron/P3 666 MHz processors, so they were announced as 667 MHz parts, although they ran at 666 MHz. A lot of Bios'es had to be rewritten to announce them as 667.. (I'm guessing it was because of 666 = number of the Beast).
Superstition in numbers is stupidity on steroids.
Does it have Trusted Computing (DRM) integrated?

"Hello everybody, It is with great sadness that I have seen this forum degenerate into a place for fighting and flaming between people about exeem and other things, well it stops right now. 1. Exeem is history as far as this forum is concerned, this forum is about community above all else, that community will not be destroyed by infighting. 2. Any topics regarding exeem will be locked or deleted, there is to be no more discussion of this app on this forum, period. 3. As angry as I am about the flaming and insults I have seen normally level headed individuals partake in I will not be mass banning people. You have an amnesty for your words, from now on though you will not be so lucky so consider yourselves warned. 4. The normal rules still apply, no links to torrents, torrent sites, cracks etc etc. This forum is no longer affiliated with exeem in any way shape or form, forget that and move on. Let peacefulness and playfulness reign (sic). Seriously though everybody just step back and think for a minute, the reason you are part of this forum is because we are the best, most informative, fun place to be. We are also the largest Invision board in the world, something you should all be proud of. All exeem forums are deleted and the word is filtered, normal service is now resuming."

How are they going to continue to shove more and more transistors onto the same die, without shrinking it? Are we (finally/sadly) seeing the end of Moore's Law?
I think this also means that single-core x86 processors have come almost as far as they can..
The parent to this comment has an extremely good point - without Linux, they would have to start from scratch writing an OS for their new chip. With Linux, all they have to do is write a good compiler.

I've never heard of a city called Glasweg or Glaswog..
Do you want people to lose money that bad?
I heard about a long-lasting black-out some years ago - apparently, there was a baby-boom 9 months later..
I'm guessing you watched 'Con Air' recently.
(it's slightly a slightly rewritten line from that movie):
"Define irony: a bunch of idiots dancing around on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash."

In case you start having weird problems, don't blame it on Linux unless you've checked (and double-checked) for faulty hardware.
You forgot;
Crash & Burn
You probably didn't enclose either in double quotes.
When I do that, I get:
"HD-DVD": 909,000
"Blu-ray": 815,000
To me, that's still a close race.

And will you be completely screwed if you have a Pentium D and a motherboard with a 945 (or 955) chipset?

You probably plugged the cable into a "shared" port (one MDI-II, one MDI-X) of which the other was already occupied, thereby creating a packet loop.

I'm concerned that;
if a webcam gets slashdotted, will it lock up? - until some technician shows up and reboots/powercycles it?
