Police are paid to do their job, too - does that mean we shouldn't complain when people rob banks? Developers who write code which accesses a database share a responsibility with their DBA to implement well performing, scalable, and supportable data models and access strategies. Frameworks such as RoR which do not provide datamodelers the flexibility to design a model the way they'd like to are by their nature limited. Sure, it many cases it's possible to work around these limitations but that's no reason not to point them out. It is certainly one of the reasons it's not caught on more broadly in enterprise environments where database performance is often paramount to rapid development.
None of the press seems to indicate what socket standard the new chips will conform to. If it's Socket T or 479, for example, then they won't require new motherboards. If it's a new socket, then, point taken... although generally the lag to build new m/b's is virtually nonexistent.

``They're going to have a lot more trouble in a few days,'' said Craig Schmugar, a virus research manager with Network Associates Inc.'s McAfee division, referring to Lindon, Utah- based SCO. Personal computers whose clocks are set wrong are probably responsible for the attacks on SCO, Magallanez said. Such PCs with incorrect clock settings are probably less than a half of 1 percent of all infected machines, Schmugar said.

By the logic of Congress, neither action would invalidate their respective lawsuits.
