Do they have any without LED headlights? I'd like to buy one but I don't want to be an asshole.

They answer the first question in detail right at the start of the article.
The last common ancestor of Triceratops horridus, Passer domesticus, Diplodocus carnegii, and all of its descendants.
It means someone went to public school.
Nuremberg defense.
But *I* didn't kill my wife, the guy I paid to did!
It STILL dominates the enterprise market, no matter how crap McAfee AV is.
Intel had made a big investment in enterprise chipsets with features like VT and AMT. They were hoping to speed up enterprise hardware refresh rates for a decade or so by continuing to provide highly compelling enterprise features in hardware.
One area they thought held particular promise was security. They were interested in AV companies leveraging a combination of VT and AMT to provide a more secure environment-- basically they wanted to see host-based security technology live outside the end-user's OS, but still reach in to detect and protect. That way, if a box did get popped, you could still update signatures, etc and have some reasonable hope that you could actually repair the OS without wiping it. Lots of other little bits in the vision.
The big problem for Intel was that they needed security vendors to build and sell software on top of this platform. But it was a bit of a "chicken and egg" problem, where there wasn't enough of a hardware footprint to justify a product investment, and so there wasn't enough compelling reason for people to pay extra for the hardware.
Intel pushed most A/V companies hard for some investment in the area, and McAfee actually did peel off a SMALL team to work on it (quite possibly the best engineering team w/in McAfee actually). They spent maybe a year making some good progress, and then when DeWalt was trimming down to save costs, that team got cut.
I'd heard that Intel was enraged. I can imagine them thinking they needed to control their own destiny-- get the security software built that they thought would drive faster hardware refreshes. McAfee had been the most amenable, and was definitely primping itself to be acquired.
By the way, McAfee does NOT own PGP. They'd spun it back out, and it got re-acquired by Symantec.
The CHM in Mountain View [http://www.computerhistory.org/] also accepts donations of items like this, and they have access to the proper resources to care for said artifacts. You may want to contact them as well. They will be happy to take your IBM branded radio at least
The retailers can build CurrentC but they can't force customers to use it. The payment process sounds terrible; it'll be easier to just pull out your credit card and pay with that.
If I pay with my Visa card, I get cash back, and an extended warranty on my purchases. So far I haven't heard that CurrentC has any of these benefits.
Why would I use it?
To be fair, it's only "very well-known" by people who know how to use browser tabs, which rules out 99% of my family, cow-orkers, and (I'm guessing through extrapolation) the population at large.
Yep, just like every person in the world uses Latitude and Orkut.
Yes. You must sit in a cube farm all day within earshot of the eleventy hens cackling about their kids.
Otherwise, whom will they pawn their work off upon?
has the "ksirtet is no longer in kdegames bug" been ongoing?
