Linux = Ultra-reliable sub compact, not very good aftermarket support, uses diesel. =)
I see where you're going with the sports car thing though... but I guess I was merely refering to the look and feel as opposed to the performance.
Well, I do IT support work and have fixed dozens of computers plagued with malware... but I still personally choose to use Internet Explorer 6. I've tried Firefox and Opera, and frankly I just didn't like them as much, and also don't have a reason to switch. I actually even tried IE 7 Beta 1 and didn't like that either. One, I'm confident enough that I won't fall victim to malware, and two, even if I somehow did get malware automatically installed on my machine, I'm confident that I can get rid of it.
Oh, and can you believe Cisco's new Content Services Switch CSS11501 has a web based GUI that will only work with IE still?!
You should get a load of my tracks. In fact, I still have Stunts on my computer with all my tracks, and it's still playable.:)
What I did was make a really small "legit" track (maybe just a small oval) but discreetly make a much larger crazy track that you won't even know deviates from the main track (like I'll make the turn off on the real track right after a hill so that you jump right over the gap) and I designed the tracks really well... totally on the extreme limits on what the Porsche/March Indy can do. Hard to get a true feel through words, but it included stunts such as jumping through the loop de loop.;)
Granted, I was only like 8-9 years old when I was playing it, but I was REALLY damn good at it... I remember overfilling the trophy screen by getting to like level 60 or something. The tracks repeat after 32, I think... and by that time, the opponents are so ridiculously fast that they make that zooming sound the whole race... and once they get past you, it's over... they are like at least 50% faster than your car. The ONLY way to win is to be able to keep at least one computer car behind you by continuously bombing or shooting it with rockets the entire race... pretty damn difficult.
I just ordered a new terminal server yesterday, and decided to go with this exact CPU... the AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+. This gives me satisfaction knowing I made the right choice in choosing to go with AMD (as I have for years now) instead of Intel.
Also, it appears that this particular CPU is VERY overclockable. People have been able to overclock from the stock 2.0Ghz to at least 2.4Ghz with stock cooling, and to at least a very impressive 2.8Ghz with minimal cooling upgrades.
Most of this information has been gleaned from a thread on Anandtech which I perused just yesterday. The thread/forum appears to be down at the moment, but Googling up "X2 3800+ Overclock" should bring you results if you wish to look them up yourself...

That's pretty ironic, especially in light of the fact that we (Canada) are looking into the possibility of getting rid of the penny altogether.

What's more troubling is if you ask a gentleman to describe himself, and he says: "Well, I have big tits!"
Nope, most don't anymore.
Do you know what kind of prices Best Buy charges for basic hardware installations, like putting in a stick of RAM?!
I think it's in the order of $30 or so.
It's pretty difficult removing two case screws and pushing it into the DIMM.
I think it can be done in about 30 seconds, which translates to about $1 per second. That's $3600 per hour!
You're getting a bargain with the recovery discs!
Exactly when has the tack been the benchmark of sharpness?
This ban is to freedom as losing with AA to 72o is to poker... a bad beat.

I would like my 2 minutes and 0.9 seconds back please.
It's similar to the problem with the word "bandwidth" where it seems almost everyone, including ISP's and webhosts use the word incorrectly.

You don't embark on a large project of ANY kind without at least securing a customer or two during the development process.
Whatever happened to the good ol' "If you build it, they will come" philosophy?
Shucks, high ASCII doesn't show up.
Oh well, ignore previous for the new and improved!
