1991: MIPS Technologies produced the first 64-bit CPU, as the third revision of their MIPS RISC architecture, the R4000. The CPU was commercially available in 1991 and used in SGI graphics workstations starting with the Crimson, running the 64-bit version of the IRIX operating system.
You say that under the assumption that you are the majoirty that realise it's a dupe (you are a minority). This article was probably posted for those that missed the previous article, and seeing the comments about dupes leads people to actually click on the link.
I'm one of those people that just read summaries, and decide not to click on the link because it doesn't interest me. Seeing people say "dupe" leads me to think this article was worth posting twice.
Or Ars wasn't pleased with the ad-clicks from the previous posting? I don't know.
Perhaps this is just a wake up call to companies who support embedded Linux to perhaps spend more on advertising and marketing (i.e. "hello world, we support Linux embedded because we made a pile of decent kernel patches so we can be trusted.")
That's specious and spurious reasoning at it's best.
Many (and I use that term loosely) companies use Linux, but why would you want to trust a company? How would using Linux make them trustworthy?
Besides, if Linux was adequate (which it is), it wouldn't need advertising.
Are posts such as yours the song of linux fanboyism? I'm really new here.
I know these are "stupid" questions, on many levels (especially in this venue), but does MSFT even make 200-million Euros a day in sales to the EU? No. Does that matter? (No. That was a rhetorical question.)
That seems like a rediculous amount, no matter how evil MSFT may be. Isn't that more than 2x MSFT world-wide REVENUE, much less, EU PROFIT? Where are you getting your numbers? Do you even have sources? Or are you just pulling numbers out of your ass?
"What if they don't pay?" Their assets within the EU will be seized and auctioned off to pay for related debts, treated as though the company were to go bankrupt. The employees of said assets would be left to look elsewhere for companies to remain loyal to, ergo lose their jobs at EU-MSFT.
What if they said "screw you, I'm going home" and stopped officially selling product in the EU? See above, as well as their stock price falling sharply because their stock holders wouldn't like their company to refuse business with an entire continent.
As much as many do not like MSFT, this stinks of some sort of politicical extortion, plain and simple. It has been debated until the cows eventually came home that MSFT deserves this punishment. I don't know how you managed to get modded up to 3, Insightful.
Let's take a stroll down history lane... [wiki:CBS] In 2004 the FCC imposed a record $550,000 fine on CBS for its broadcast of a Super Bowl half-time show (produced by then sister-unit MTV) in which singer Janet Jackson's breast was briefly exposed. It was the largest fine ever for a violation of federal decency laws. Following the incident CBS apologized to its viewers and denied foreknowledge of the event, which was broadcast live.
CBS suffered another embarrassment in September of that year, when the network aired a controversial episode of its newsmagazine, 60 Minutes, which questioned U.S. President George W. Bush's service in the National Guard. Later, it was revealed that the documents CBS used were forged. CBS News eventually acknowledged that it could not verify the authenticity of the documents it obtained, although it maintains the other overall findings in relation to Bush's military service. The following January, CBS fired four people connected to the preparation of this news-segment. CBS Evening News anchor and 60 Minutes reporter Dan Rather resigned before the announcement of these firings, though he claimed that his decision had been made prior to the forged-documents matter.
Rated PG and airing at 10PM on CBS, it's a drunken teen party where everybody not afraid to find a partner (or 2, 3,...) and get busy. Granted, that's not what the show is all about.
According to CBS.com: WITHOUT A TRACE is a riveting procedural drama about the New York Missing Persons Squad of the FBI. The sole responsibility of the special task force is to find missing persons by applying advanced psychological profiling techniques to peel back the layers of the victims' lives and trace their whereabouts in an effort to discover whether they have been abducted, been murdered, committed suicide or simply run away. The team reconstructs a "Day of Disappearance" timeline that details every minute of the 24 hours prior to the disappearance and digs into every facet of the victim's life, following one simple rule: learn who the victim is in order to learn where the victim is.
Watered down CSI? Maybe. The show focuses on teen victims, so that probably explains the placement of that scene (flashback, actually).
I really don't think CBS deserved this, but they'll likely take it for fear of negative PR. It shows at 10PM for chrissake's! Who watches TV at that hour and isn't a pervert?
For example? Please keep in mind the article is referring to Opera 9.0 Preview 2 (latest snapshop, according to here), which Opera notifies against the use of previews.

distributed to a limited audience, i.e. forums, newsgroups, and IRC
should never be installed over a final release
not to be used as a substitute for a final release
beta
available for all users, but recommended only for advanced users
thoroughly tested, though known to contain bugs
usually feature-complete
data backup is highly recommended before use

If it's anything like this, it'll be simply revolutionary.
Where do you see ANY indication that this will cost you $? For god's sake, can we please stop the nonsensical MS bashing?
Proof :P
Ancient life for that matter. Those rivers date back hundreds of thousands of years.
What are your sources? AFAIK you're just spewing some bull-hockey implying the Kyoto Protocol is arbitrary.
Greenhouse gas emissions by country (this was posted earlier, if you scroll up the comment list)
Canada: 23.45 CO2 tonnes / person
US: 24.09 CO2 tonnes / person
Canada's population: 31.56 million
US' population: 280.00 million
Canada: 740.00 Mtonnes of CO2 emitted
US: 6746.00 Mtonnes of CO2 emitted
(All year of 2003)
Why do you sully the good name of Canada?
No. Just no.

Name a channel that spans more than one time zone.
I don't think you can, because most, if not all, television programming is entirely localized.
