If Intel were silly enough to try this, 1 day after Intel put out such processors, vendors would be selling em soldered onto an appropriate socket pinout adapter.

They can have my MS natural 1.0 keyboard when they pry it from my cold, dead, carpel-tunnel-free hands.
I can only type on MS natural keyboards. I agree w/ others here regarding the newer black ones, they don't last nearly as long as my white dinosaur.
...as "World's First Quadruple Limb Transplant FLAILS", which would have been a positive sign.
It IS possible... it just might take some perseverance. I work for a German company. We have had many German engineers visiting that ended up buying an unlocked iPhone (and iPad). Last time was just after the latest model came out. All the purchases were direct from the an Apple retail store. Several times it took some wheedling b/c sometimes the 'geniuses' claimed this wasn't possible until they talked to someone higher up.
Thunderbird 2 was a big fat cargo carrier. Thunderbird 3 was a big sleek rocket. Off course it will be faster. Unless the guy operating the marionette strings falls asleep or something.
The whale in space experiment was already tried and was a failure. Just ask the bowl of petunias.

Having served on two juries in my lifetime (one civil, one criminal) I can attest that in both cases the idiot ratio was definitely > 50%. At least in the criminal trial, what the jury could do was strictly limited by the judges instructions. In the civil case, most of the jurors wanted to vote based on factors that had NOTHING to do with the case we heard. It was a medical malpractice suit and most jurors let their personal experiences with various doctors (good or bad) dictate how they were going to vote, pretty much ignoring the evidence binders and testimony.
Of course one could easily argue I was one of the idiots since I couldn't B.S. my way out of jury duty....
It is F.U.D., where F.U.D.
I get the same feeling when I wonder what happened to Super Sugar Crips
They were wiped out in a gang war with the Raisin Bloods.
Now I'm curious what a parasmut novel is.
"He raised his custom matte-black GigaGlock 950 and sighted through the custom Kalishnakova scope. His finger, protected from the moon's harsh atmosphere by his Shinto-Nagakasi Deluxe Combat gloves, tensed on the Bloraskavich trigger. The Kalishnakova was so precise, he could watch his target, sitting atop the Goliathian 4500 heavy tank seven klicks away, light a filtered Tska-Choi cigarette using a MegaBic with custom Tetra-Flint."
A friend who manages a restaurant in Watertown MA asked me what Yelp was... She was contacted by someone claiming to be from Yelp with the same pitch.
I knew of Yelp, and used to trust the reviews. But I had already lost respect for them when they obviously sold my e-mail addy, despite claims of confidentiality and my opting out of their mailings.
"Assuming" means an assumption is being made. And an assumption is a proposition that is taken for granted, as if it were known to be true. Don't demean it (blah, blah, blah, etc.)
Gee, thanks sensei.
So I'm not allowed to ask where they came up with the number 1000? If I ask such a question, I am somehow 'demeaning a classic tool in science'? I should just take it on faith that its a well founded assumption because you directed me to a Wikipedia page that has nothing to do with the original article?
Get over yourself.
Assuming the average communicating civilization has a lifetime of 1,000 years
From what orifice was this number pulled?
They have a sample size of 1 civilization with an unknown end-date of communication capability. Where does 1000 years come from?
