"It will probably take something like the Cell platform to do this, if it works. Hey, it may even run linux."
Again, brandon this isn't meant to be at you. Its just a good example of what I see a lot all over the forums. Its this one track mind with linux. Everywhere people say if we get rid of MS/Intel, Sun, Apple, Unix, etc. we can run Linux in its place, regarless of if Linux is better or even useful for that particular task. Linux this, Linux that, everything has to be linux or the linux people just don't seem to be happy. In fact, I'm sure if most of them could wire their @$$s to fart the word "Linux" they would.
I know this is a bit of troll but since other people can insult 97% of the world by calling them mindless sheep and dismiss them for not having the same opinion on what OS to use, I can hit the _insignificant_ .36%
