The hair on your chest comes from the hair you're pulling out from your head. Not shaming my folically challenged brethren, but I prefer to keep my long hair.

Folically challenged since birth here, zero offense taken.

Imagine an OS that works properly and efficiently with a minimal footprint? Yeah, like that's ever going to happen....

Good news! It already happened and I use it every day!

Whatever, you never got to experience the abortion that was Windows 8.
Stuff like that puts real hair on your chest instead of penguin feathers.

I don't need to slam my face in to a pile of shit to know that it is, in fact, shit.

So is that a naked dude's torso? If so, you should also include the butt:

Hahaha. Negative. It's just an old separater I have used since the Usenet days.

I've never pulled my own fingernails off either. Despite some evidence to the contrary, I'm a fairly smart guy.

No need to imagine, you just described Linux.

Edit: Haha. No surprise BoP beat me to it.

So are they planning on copying Gnome or KDE?

Good job, AMD! When you make an innovative, affordable, quality product, sales will follow. Perhaps Intel should sit back and pay attention.

"New year, new rant- Linus Torvalds rails at Intel for 'killing' the ECC industry."

I do not disagree with Torvalds but the difference between regular DRAM and ECC in price, especially right now, is more than enough to deter the average buyer. ECC should be the standard without the massive price increase. The manufacturing cost difference between them is not significant enough to warrant an 80% price hike. It's basically the SCSI of memory. It's expensive because it can be, not because it needs to be.

Microsoft should revisit Windows 8 Metro interface, that was a real winner.

What good is greed and corruption artificial product differentiation and arbitrary profit markup, unless it benefits you.

Gotta agree about AMD. Finally having superior competition in the CPU marketspace is an awesome thing.

Metro was awesome for mobile. RIP Windows phone.

For desktop, not so much.

Microsoft should actually focus on the core aspects of their OS, and get rid of some bloatware. Something like that would truly surprise me. Imagine an OS that works properly and efficiently with a minimal footprint? Yeah, like that's ever going to happen....

So another year working on the Start menu? (i.e. the most useless part of Windows)
