The web site for the opening lists one of the events as a BFG Competition. Apparently, they will be broadcasting the thing around the world. Also, they will record the competition for future viewings. Hmmm . . . only in computer science could they be proud.
One possible reason Baystar pulled their investment is that Microsoft got cold feet. Recall that after the memos showing MS's involvement in the deal became public, a lot of people even outside slashdot were encouraging the government to investigate possible antitrust violations. Gates and Co. may well have decided that it wasn't worth the risk at this time.
People keep marveling at how much cheaper AMD chips are than Intel. In reality, Intel prints chips much more cheaply than AMD, especially now that they have 300mm wafers that AMD can only drool over.
The reason AMD chips are priced lower is that the company forgoes profit. As a customer, I find this very appealing; however, it is not the best long-term business strategy.
I belive what you are missing here is "the obvious"

I've pointed this out before: Intel manufactures its chips considerably cheaper than AMD. AMD is able to sell chips cheaper because it forgoes profit.
e-mail is not a reliable system. Take a look at these. e-mail's level of reliability won't cut it at a financial institution or many govt agencies.
There are about 60 faculty, to that's 13.3 combined faculty years.

That sounds more like Gentoo
I doubt it.

Crime? In San Jose?
San Jose has the lowest crime rate of the 20 largest US cities. I guess you were probably living in Oakland.
