Intel has the joke known as GMA500 - as well supported as a winmodem, and about as useful in this day and age compared to nVidia's Ion chips; AMD has its own people contributing to xf86-video-ati, which is good enough to do actual gaming on now. It's not as fast as fglrx, but then it doesn't leak 10MB of RAM per second either.
The closest you'd get to what you're describing is Via. Their binary drivers are worthless on any OS, and they've been screwing FOSS devs around for so long with vapourware announcements of documentation that nobody really noticed when it finally showed up.
IIRC there was a front page story a long time ago about this; it was about some HDTVs that got this label which used obscene amounts of power even when they were turned "off".
Mine had a BBC Micro and a bunch of Acorns. Around 2001 I was doing typing classes in a room full of Mac Classics running WordPerfect from floppies. Then the school got sold out by incompetent local government and the rooms full of working, fast computers were replaced by ugly, slow, constantly broken Compaqs that heaved and groaned under the strain of Win2k. The main thing I learned about computers in that school after that was that it takes 15-20 minutes to boot Windows and five seconds to open a menu. Not exaggerating.
To use a programming analogy, this thing is like a space rocket control system written from scratch in 2 days in INTERCAL using XML-RPC calls to interface with the string library from PHP. But worse.
What definition of "bug free" are you using there? Is it the one where DJB pretends bugs don't exist for years by handwaving them as user error? And how is a piece of software user-friendly or efficient when you have to install the author's NIH-syndrome init and xinetd replacements just to use it?
Compare that to Ubutnu LTS or OS-X and you find it is extremely long.
Comparing XP's worthless out-of-box installation to any other OS which comes with (and MAINTAINS) hundreds of third-party apps is an extremely invalid comparison.
I bought a 2W LED lightbulb today which, apart from the brightness, looks virtually identical to incandescent. It's miles better than the LEDs I bought a year or two ago, which are bluish, about as bright as a flashlight, half-dead after weeks (due to dry solder joints on one side of the LED cluster), and way overpriced.
Not really. GPUs are good at going really fast in a straight line. Throw so much as an "if" statement at them and they become about as fast as a P2. The closest you'd get to what you're describing is a Cell PCI-E card, or Intel's vapourware Larrabee.
Though if all you want is to use your old stuff on a new PC, you can get ISA/PCI card motherboards that run off the host's power/peripherals.
But I have yet to find a decent how-to for it, nor a decent list of tags, etc. available.
Every single tag is listed in the table of contents under section 4. TBH the only way you could miss that is if you'd made no attempt whatsoever to actually find a list.
As for a how-to: pick any "decent how-to" for HTML 4 and use that plus some common sense.
The structure that can withstand a flood has existed for a lot longer than submersible warships - it's called a "hill". If you don't have one conveniently nearby to use you can even build an artificial one.

When video hosting sites switch to H.264 and don't offer a Theora fallback, what do you think people will do?
If they do that, the bandwidth used by complainers in their forum will totally eclipse the amount used by their videos.
Until Microsoft sues you for patent infringement.
Neither of those are an either-or situation.

What is the atmosphere inside China?
Mostly carbon monoxide.

I thought that was Guantanamo treatment.
It may effect them? I thought they already had them.
I think the main news here is that someone wrote software to allow ARM to emulate a turd.

Gee, that got modded troll quick. Looks like the MS apologists are out in force today.

I was imagining it'd go more like this:

It's more relevant to /. than the splogging at the top of the page.
"Strong UK Support" for ACTA is bollocks
What worries me is that there are enough complete morons in the country already to give this explicitly-fascist party ten whole votes.
Q: What's the difference between a $50 brand-name pill and a $2 "fake"?
A: $48.
*sigh*

He's probably referring to the fact HTTP headers are around half a KB per request and never compressed.
If they would just drop the HTML5 tag soup and enforce XHTML5, I would have much less against this mess.
There's already a language designed to do what you want - it's called XHTML2.
Have fun convincing browsers to implement an XML-only syntax incompatible with the other 99.999999% of the web and let us know how it goes.
