Anyway, I though Slashdot died years ago, around the same time that I joined.... Oh.

Enough said.

Dejudder. Turn it off, and all will be well.

Michael Dell sells company, house, and family and goes all in to invest in said material.

Yeah, but can you imagine a beowulf cluster of these things?

I may be wrong, but I thought Moore's law was specifically referring to the manufacturing process, and not performance. So, Moore's law can retire and performance can still improve. They're not mutually exclusive.

Vostros are still better built than Inspirons, Dell's true consumer line. Vostros are more of a "prosumer" or "home/business" class laptop. I bought one for my wife that is still going very strong almost 3 years after purchasing it. Nothing is loose or falling apart. Meanwhile, friends and associates who bought Inspirons (I warned them) are experiencing build-quality issues right and left. But, buy a Dell Latitude, or Lenovo Thinkpad T-series, or HP Elitebook, or Panasonic Toughbook if you want a laptop to last.

My restless leg syndrome might cause the controls to go haywire and open undesirable websites, though.

Steve would just say he's holding her wrong.
