Can somebody tell me if the IA-32e processors will be in the socket 478 format to work with existing boards, or will they require a whole new socket and chipset (rather than a bios update) If they really are just "extensions" then I don't see why anything special would need to be on the motherboard correct? The cpu should switch into 64bit mode whenever the OS tells it to right?

So many people in the open source projects community are programmers who do nothing more than program. I'm sure MS employs dozens of "artists" who design widgets, layouts, test usability, try to keep things symmetrical etc... Which explains why so many projects link against Motif. They think, "ahh, the UI is there, the widgets are there, I can just program and the user can deal with it" Negating the fact that Motif was modeled after Windows 3.x. You have a spiffy new utility that looks like it was written in 1994.
So how do you get non-geeks excited about OSS? And get rid of the programmer mentality. If someone says "I'd like to contribute to your project" and all you want to know is what languages they program in, then there is a vacuum somewhere.
What a tangled web that they weave when the practice to deceive. Since you have very few people looking at the code compared to Linux/BSD you miss a lot of things. I've heard Microsoft VPs say that open source is bad because you have a lot of "unqualified" individuals submitting patches, so that "brings down the quality". I'd hardly call Linus or Alan Cox, unqualified people. Or patches from *@ibm.com, *@sgi.com or *@novell.com
Q9: Is it possible to write software that will run on Intel's processors with 64-bit extension technology, and AMD's 64-bit capable processors?
A9: With both companies designing entirely different architectures, the question is whether the operating system and software ported to each processor will run on the other processor, and the answer is yes in most cases. However, Intel processors support additional features, like the SSE3 instructions and Hyper-Threading Technology, which are not supported on non-Intel platforms. As such, we believe developers will achieve maximum performance and stability by designing specifically for Intel architectures and by taking advantage of Intel's breadth of software tools and enabling services.
Ok lets look at it this way. SCO (or whoever) licenses System V to IBM and Sequent, IBM and Sequent both modify it and extend it. IBM eventually puts some of these things into the Linux kernel as they felt they had the right to do if they pleased. So why does SCO have a complete copy of AIX and Dynix/ptx code? Did IBM and Sequent have to give SCO source copies of their OS? If so why?

myself and my compeptitors agree to keep the price of widgets artificially high.
That is where you cross the line
The legal term is price collusion. I'd really like of someone could investigate gas prices. That's who I think is artificially keeping prices high.
There was a scene where the conspiracy theorist guys pulled the strip out of a 20 dollar bill and revealed a transmitter in it.

Seen the Anabuki Construction ads? There is a Tanooki dancing and he has a little something "special" down below.
The world is the internet's audience, they can still say what they want and it will come back to people in Germany.

How about a new license that says anyone who engages legal action against %group% will have their license revoked immediately?

Are you kidding? kill -9 is for wussies. Real men use init 1.
REAL men pull out the cpu while the computer is running! Real idiots run killall on a Sun box, pseudo idiots stop-a - sync.

You actually have to buy the pepsi! It costs $1.09-$1.29. Even worse if you accidentally drink the pepsi!

There was a Cingular commercial recently that had a girl dancing around to that song being so happy that she could keep her 867-5309 number.
