One military offender. Military courts do not judge civilians, and civilians are not affected by military laws.
On the other side, military justice can judge and condemn a man that have already been condemned by a civilian court (which no civilian court can)
There is a possibility - that the dual core is forced to switch threads much more often than the quad core. However, while this kind of workloads definitely exist, the chances of stumbling upon it are small to say at least
You're not constrained by processing power.
I've used a P4 1.4GHz with 128MB of RDRAM as an OpenBSD firewall - it worked beautifully (unless I was "improving" it:) ) with uptime limited only by power failures. A somewhat better system was buried under Microsoft's Firewall (after more than two years of use, that is). The OpenBSD one worked as good in its last day as in its first
Now we use a dedicated appliance, with a much lower power use. I'm still missing that OpenBSD box:(
Supplement that with a single decent wind generator
Which he might be allowed to install, or he might not. You can't put a wind generator on a pole so long it will fall in your neighbour's yard, and you need a high position for wind generators
Making twice the energy would mean at least twice the cost for the installation.
If he chooses to install a smaller and cheaper unit, that's his problem.
As for doomed from day one, he already saved quite a bit of money from it, and will probably save more.
There is plenty of terrorism (or was lately) in Indonesia, Ireland, and ex-Soviet republics (true, close to the Middle East area) without involvement from the well-known (or less well known) Middle East factions. Also, there was terrorism in the U S of A that did not involved any kind of arabic or Middle East factions.

The Pentium fdiv bug... According to Intel, the calculations were wrong in one case in billions or so (only floating point operations). Even the most critical estimations showed one error in 42,000 or so cases (using Excel spreadsheets with multiple calculations per run).
This compares favourably with totally broken computers.

Aye, my opinion is from Romania, bastion of democracy...

Bringing questions for your great answers
XP support 1-2 processors (or cores?). XP Professional might support 4 processors/cores, but I'm not sure on this
It's the Old World, the New World and the Third World, not the first, second and third world.

Only the more expensive 8.9" and 10" models are available
You mean a grid-connected solar house - or else you'll need batteries and so on.
So, you'll wait until the price for a solar installation feels right

Install them at a higher angle - so as to produce most of the energy in the winter, and not in the summer. This should solve the snow problem quickly
Older games will probably work fine under emulation (at least some of them), so try to run them under OS X with Windows virtualized
Mod parent up - usually the games fit into memory (but sometime they didn't, and fighting to find it was interesting at least)
it is part of the Exchange email server, it's not part of the Outlook/Office.

You'd get either much more graphic power in the same power envelope, or the same graphic power in a lower power envelope
What price drops? They might even increase their prices a bit, to "compensate" for their increased appeal
We're at the point where a decent video card is cheaper than the operating system
the BIOS might change things like graphic chip frequency (lowering the thermal load).
Good luck replacing the integrated video chipset with that ATI board

All the pictures you need. You could even use micro SD card/cards in your mobile phone (if your mobile phone can carry micro SD cards).
Does Sun have a competitive database? I ask because I don't know of any
