The Opteron (socket 940) is the sledgehammer cpu. It has (3)Three hypertransport links that are used for i/o channels (such as PCI) and inter-processor links, and a dual channel (128 bit) memory interface. There are currently three flavors of Opteron cpu's. The 100 series does NOT support intercpu communication on it's hypertransport links, so it is a SINGLE processor cpu. The 200 series supports interprocessor communication on a single hyperchannel link, it is a DUAL processor cpu. The 800 series supports interprocessor communication on all three hyperchannel links and is an EIGHT WAY SMP processor. (There is no 400 series processor, but such a beast would be possible if AMD chose to do so).
The Athlon64 (clawhammer)cpu has a SINGLE hyperchannel link and a single wide (64bit) memory channel. The Athlon64-FX is a modified series 100 Opteron cpu. It has a single hyperchannel link, but a dual wide (128bit) memory channel. This cpu is probably best considered a member of the sledgehammer family. If you are considering going with the 'FX' keep an eye on pricing. You might be able to get a true Opteron cheaper. Future 'FX' chips will be housed in a different socket which will preclude using Opteron cpus on the same motherboard.
You can rent or lease a physical item. This is a time limited possession with limited rights. What is the big difference? The difference is you can't rent a physical item multiple times AT THE SAME TIME. You COULD do that with software by making copies of it.
Why do the Brits stoop down and leave their stuff by the wheels when they hunt for keys? We Yanks put our stuff on top of the car when we hunt for our keys. (So THEY run their stuff over, while our stuff goes flying off the top of the car into the road for SOMEONE ELSE to run over.)
Well there is the story about some nerd at MIT that took apart a large multi platter disk pack and re-assembled it using transcription phonograph records for the platters. As a joke he left his bootleg pack on the shelf with the other real disk packs. The midnight computer operator 'mounted' his pack. The phonograph disks exploded from the force of spinning up and destroyed the drive they were mounted in, as well as the two disk drives next to it from the flying scrapnel!
I've got one PS/2 101 key kb (full size), and two smaller versions (no keypad). The reduced footprint version of the IBM 'M' is a nice KB, takes up less space on the desk (and I really do not need the key pad). They are just as rugged and heavy as the full size keyboards (heavy?, you can use them in hand to hand combat!). I did have one die when my house got hit by lightning though. I was able to find a replacement on ebay however.
When my wife was expecting we had a problem with my mother-in-law (who had azhimers) and other morons who would call late at night. My phone company offered a 'ring master' service that adds up to 3 phone numbers to the same line that ring with a different cadance. I got a second number on this service that was not listed or published and bought a distintive ring decoder to separate the numbers out to separate (internal) phone lines. I then broke the connection from the phone line to the rest of the house at a single point so I could prevent ANY of the phones from ringing. An X10 operated relay then switched the lines around controlled by a timer. The result was that during the day the main number would ring anywhere in the house, and the second number went to a dedicated phone. After hours the second number was connected to the house phones and the main number dumped into an answering machine ONLY! If I needed to call home after hours I used the second number (which ONLY my wife and I knew.) If we were BOTH home and the phone rang we KNEW it was a junk call and would pick up and hang up without listening. Since the number was unlisted though we only got wrong numbers on it.
The scaled composites approach seems to be the one to bet on. The takeoff will be uneventuful, Burt has been building aircraft for so long, he knows what he is doing. The real problems will start at 50000 feet up when SS1 is dropped from the WK and ignites it's engine.

IIRC, ATM's do not use TCIP protocol, they use a special protocol that runs over private lines. They even (at one time) used special modems that weren't compatible with normal dialup modems.
By outsourcing companies are SCREWING the US government out of money that would be paid to FICA and the General tax fund since they replacing US workers with foreign ones by outsourcing jobs. So... maybe the IRS should IMPOSE a tax on these companies equal to the taxes that WOULD have been paid by the US workers whose jobs they outsourced based on the RATE THEY WOULD HAVE PAID THEM. Ditto for the Social Security taxes that were not paid.

That is if you have downloaded music from others you are probably safe since you have NOT exposed your disk directory on the web via an ftp or web site.
