It's just you, dude... It's just you.

If you squint a lil, it does look like the
profile of a parrot's beak, with the Intel logo as an eye. ie, it's a self-portrait from the marketing department, saying "Polly wants crack".

"Centrino", by the way, wouldn't that mean "One hundred rhinos"? Nice.

The template thing works in MSVC++ 6.0, so
I'm glad that your post got modded up to 5 Informative. ;-)

Something that DOESN'T work in MSVC++ 6.0 is
partial template specializations, but it's
alledgedly in the .NET compiler.

The original was _printed_?

On: Digital Domesday Rescued By Emulation

Note that the printed Domesday Book, on which the digital project was modeled, is still quite accessible after almost 1000 years.

Somehow I doubt that the original book was _printed_ almost 1000 years ago. Written? yes. Printed? No.

Books were hand written/copied back then, I believe? It wasn't until Gutenberg (The guy, not the project :-) that whole books were actually printed.

Nobody really did entire woodprints of books, did they? Or maybe those guys were the really l337 h4XX0rZ of their time. :-)
