In a related story, Linus announced today that the 2.8 series kernel will play the theme from Three's Company over the PC speaker once the system is ready to use.
When a decent chunk of your future developer (developers developers developers, the FUTURE of our company, yadda yadda) force is students, dropping $100 on an OS is like giving up beer for a month!
Bye bye win32!
I'd say if there's a specific 'if processor==AMD', in ICC/ICPC source then it implies ill intentions.
If it's simple 'if processor!=Intel', I see no wrong. It's the Intel compiler - they can do what they please w/ it.
I set up my parents with a little Linux Box last time I was home.
Haven't had any problems with it yet, aside from the fact that my dad can't use Kazaa to get his porn anymore (I refuse to set that man up with Apollon just so he can see naked ladies).
They don't know how to use the shell really so it's hard for them to break anything too bad, and anything they do damage I can fix most problems via ssh.
Debian(woody)/OpenOffice/Gnome/Firefox/Thunderbird look enough like MS to keep them functional, but are far enough from MS to keep them from being eaten alive by big nasty worms/vulnerabilities.

Damnit. Now worms etc will become a matter of "national security" and they'll be able to prosecute the hell out of whoever crafts them.
1. Place PC components in large garbage bag.
2. Stab that parts of the bag that stick out the farthest until a happy thermal equilibrium is reached.

Is this the beginning of the end for the global, unregulated, uncensored, Internet? Until another big market wants it another way.
I wonder how long until they're selling Near Death Experience to fools searching for meaning...
Oh and building a parallel filesystem optimized for it's mesh interconnect topology... but that's under wraps.
I'm working on upgrading McKenzie (No 339 :( ) to AS4 from RH7.3...
I wanted gentoo but the other admins ph34r compiling h4x0rY.
