Aye, the "Pent" in Pentium was intended to denote 5 (Penta), as in 586, but for some reason they've kept with that handle since I was in Middle School (for perspective on that, I'm out of Uni now).
Hmm. . . heard on "Little known facts" (a Radio program) just this morning that about 90% of "scientists" (They didn't qualify that term, hence the quotes) don't even believe in global warming. Nevertheless, the "warming" news gets more attention due to its funding as the U.S. Goverment subsidized research funds "Global warming and its effects on our climate" but fails to provide any funding for determining if, in fact, it actually exists.
I'm not entirely certain whether or not I appreciate the assumption that most slashdotters are "Pro ACLU." Perhaps that's not the insinuation and I'm just reading it wrong.
