More accurately, the guy that developed the VMS operating system for VAX: David Cutler. And he's the best guy MS ever had...a real legend. IIRC though, he hasn't worked for them in years.
Happened to me...I had a Pentium Classic 166 in my room, with the A/C vents mostly closed. I upgraded to a P4/2.8e (damn me...i want a P-M), and I had to open most of the vents to get the room back to the same temperature. And this is with the CPU fan running at only 3,000RPM.:/
You're thinking of the 247MHz guy. It was definately fake; he put the motherboard in a freezer (wouldn't work), and he claimed to be able to play Quake and Half-Life on it, which also isn't possible because the 386 lacks an FPU.
Never mind that the multipliers would be through the roof, on a box from the days where multipliers weren't even needed at all sometimes.

I've been using Mozilla for nearly two years, and I've had /. rendered wrong about twice. Maybe. Who are these people who get it all the time?
16MB, actually. Won't run *well* on that, though. The 32 should be fine.
Knoppix has, since at least v3.4, included Captive NTFS for write support. Slow, but works fine.

Silly people and their supposed "reliable" PCs. VAX rules them all!
... :o
PS: PC with air filter and IBM model M keyboard.
Sixthed! Hehe. I bought my current workstation from them (in parts of course) for $800. And nothing has broke in the 10 months since.
I wonder if Cox has bandwidth limits. He'll be over his for sure. :)
The Lego Company offers them. Write for a catalog, they have a section for just bricks (most of the time).
Yeah, I do! It's hilarious. It's like a page I was at yesterday: IBM PC???????
Your lab had some crappy Macs! :)

I looked into it...CPUIdle was killing it. It's using "50%" now (hyperthreading on).
This new thing isn't using much CPU at all, so I'll give it a shot. Although, it just may be running wrong: it's at 2% at 1h43m, on a P4/2800.
So, in other words, it'll clean itself?
He's been married for a few years dude...
I'm spasming out of control as we speak!

AMD only made co-processors until Intel started putting them on-chip with the 486. There are no 286 AMDs.

The early iBooks had a 576/544MB limit (depending on model). The laptops all go to 1.25GB now, and I'm not sure about the eMac.
"Video-on-demand" my ass.
This is easily the nerdiest story I've ever read.

Heh, I have a 250MB (compressed) tape drive in my closet, with transfer rates of 6MB/min. Would take all day and 13 tapes to back up my 2GB system. :)
Because you know it'll happen...let's link it early, ok?
