you are just being obtuse now. There are plenty of packages that do just what you are looking for on linux. There are tons of free software packages available and some that you can pay for and get support if you so desire. Doing so usually gets you in touch with a company that does so much more than a shrinkwrapped company that puts you into the voicemail box of some salesman turned support specialist who knows the product for the full 98 days he's been there.
And you would still be wrong for saying so. AMD still pioneered the tech behind it and Microsoft is even using their hardware for themselves. While it makes for a good theory, your thoughts on this are just wrong.
Microsoft worked hand in hand with AMD on this OS. AMD has more clout than you think, they just don't have the marketing muscle that intel has (or their heaping loads of cash)
and most of those come with full suites of software. Microsoft's one CD is just the OS. Then you have to download the latest patches (Which you should do for any OS). I wonder how big Windows would be if it included several text editors, compilers, office suites, games, etc.
This is nothing like patching an XP/2000/2003 machine to protect against the exploit dejour, right?
All you have to do is recompile one time and then just transfer the kernel you want to all the machines, change the boot loader and voila. In the Windows world you have 3 choices: You can download and install the updates by sneakernet, you can set up a patch management system for them or you can get a company image up and going and then reimage all the machines
(I am sure there are other ways, but these come to mind in my cough syrup infused brain quite readily)
You think they use a single intel board now? You think intel boards stay the same long enough for them to care? You think they actually pay a lot for the support centers that they have in India? Yes, they would have to put forth some extra effort and validate one more motherboard. This is nothing special considering how often they have to do it. They get sweetheart deals from intel to stay away from AMD and spread FUD about AMD. This is not about selling a few systems with AMD CPUs. The parent and grandparent were talking about possibly losing contracts if their customers go to HP, IBM, etc. If they get products from a vendor that has what they want, maybe they won't come back to dell for their next purchase.
Imagine a datacenter for a moment. Do you think they cool them with Coors beer or something? Spending more money on cooling (running the A/C longer or buying a larger system) plus the cost of just running something that uses that kind of wattage can cut into a budget pretty heavily.
Are the cores fighting? If so, that is not good for business. They should rip all those duel cores out and replace them with good old American Dual Core chips instead.
That will teach those nasty duel cores a thing or two.
I call shenanigans. Someone should take you back to school to remind you about the original 1.13GHz P3s that intel eventually recalled. They shipped DOZENS to dell because they had issues in production. As well, how about the original Pentium Pro. Dell waited weeks to get small shipments of those too.
Corporations are considered the closest equivelent and are considered "persons" under the law. You CAN be brought under suit for libelous statements by a corporation in defense of their good name (should they have one to defend).
interesting rant from an anonymous coward. Interesting, but unsubstantial. Yes, there are hard working immigrants who do everything they can to make it here, however there are different cultures around the world. The way you treat money, life, etc is not the same in different states, let alone different countries. Deal with it
I believe the parent was trying to say that if the goal is to reach the top, this could be the case:
If you were to climb mountain A, at 10,000 feet, and he were to climb mountain B, at 7,000 feet, if you made 30 feet of progress an hour and he made 23 feet an hour, he's still ahead of you, regardless of how much progress you are making. He is still sufficiently ahead of you to the point where at the rate you are going, you will lose.
The should would tip you off to the fact that it is an opinion.
As well, many clearing houses for rebates promise that they will keep the amount of rebates that come through them under some magic number. In doing so, there is usually some sort of fraudulent activity in the works such as losing rebates or denying legitimate claims.
Not exactly. It seemed to me that the lack of interest of late in education and actually being scholarly was a problem with his ability to form more concise thoughts and think things through in a less "Me centric" way. It was less to do with Republican vs Democrat vs Libertarian. I share beliefs held by all three of the above and consider myself none of the above.
I also consider the argument against 20th century regime socialism is not true communism as well as that Marx did not formulate communism as it has existed for centuries before his birth.
You assume too much. I neither hold stock in a 2 party system, nor do I implicitly support one. I believe that there should not be federal matching funds and I believe that there should not be primary nominations to recieve bids. I think that the government should not have a damn say about anything a party is or does.
I have a feeling you would not make it far as a lawyer. You are replacing the legal meaning of words with your own interpretation of them. I commend you on how well you have been educated by the current regime.

It would be more like saying they could not drive the ferrari becuase they, nor their friends know how to drive stick.

Morris Code or Morse Code? IFRC, Morris was just a cat in food commercials. Morse code was the beep beep bop beep bop stuff :)

The WhiteHouse recently released a memo saying they plan to stop this. One thing of theirs I can actually support, YAY.

A64/Opterons (especially the HE et al) are decently efficient for power usage.

that is not a holocaust, that is genocide. A holocaust is actually a huge disaster by fire.
They don't need pringles cans. They hack you using frickin' laser beams.

no, not loosing it, tighting it instead

Why not just make it more functional at 10?
"But...it goes to 11..."
yes.
