Give it to the Blendtec guys and they'll see if it's *really* indestructible!

I'm thinking this falls into the "because we can" category.  If you are doing heavy enough work to seriously need 2 CPUs, you shouldn't be doing it on a netbook, and with a potential 1 hr battery life, it kinda defeats the purpose of a netbook.

I'm already using it on both my work and home computers

actually, it's more than 77%.  If you look at the other OS's listed, most of them are some form of Unix based OS.  Windows 2008 HPC only has 1% of the share, so it's like 99%.  And like you said, for good reason.

yeah, old news.  When I worked on the USMC network, Facebook and Myspace were already blocked.  Twitter wasn't as big yet, so I'm not sure if it was blocked at the time.

I just thought of something:  I didn't see anyone dressed up as the Observer from Fringe.  I would think that one would have been popular, especially since it's a super easy costume to put together: shave your head (or wear a skull cap) and wear a suit

just goes to show how out of touch with reality the catholic church has become.

my company has an EA agreement with Microsoft.  One of the sys admins told me we'll get our RTM copy on August 8th

we've got everyone in the IT department at my work using Pidgin, works great, since not everyone has the same one, and the encryption plugin is nice for discussing work related issues
