   Hahahahahhahah   
      
   Why are you here?  I am goofing off with a new application I just   
   grabbed and had not really been into newsgroups for years...   
   Apparently the moron crowd (that means you) keeps the signal to noise   
   ratio so low that is makes a slashdot forum look like group of   
   thoughtful level-headed individuals.   
      
   Thanks for the amusement, it's been a good laugh coming back to the NGs   
   now.  Perhaps though, you should run along and actually attempt to   
   educate yourself about some things before you make yourself look more   
   ignorant that you already do...   
      
   Hell, for the sake of perversity, I'll even give you a few leads on   
   what you should look into...   
      
   What is Hypertransport and why is it cool?   
   What is a cross-bar architecture and why is it a a very good thing in a   
   multi-processor machine?   
   Why are some tasks are slower on a Xeon with Hyperthreading/SMT turned   
   on?   
   What is posix and what are the benefits and disadvantages to compliance?   
   What are shared libraries and what the pros and cons in bundling them   
   into applications instead of keeping a shared copy in a default place.   
   What are the strengths and weaknesses of development with GCC vs using   
   Intel's compiler or IBM's new compiler.   
      
   one more for the road...   
      
   What are some of the varying strengths and weaknesses of machines made   
   by IBM (not the toy ones, the nice ones), Dell (the cheaper ones, not   
   their attempt a mid-range), Apple (the limited selection that they   
   carry), HP/Compaq (the big ones), and Sun (both small and big)...   
      
   Note: when I refer to IBM and not critiquing the toy ones, I was   
   referring to the cheap ones that contain Intel chips.  The nice ones I   
   was referring to would be the ones that do not contain Intel or AMD   
   chips.   
      
   Good luck.
