Robert: this skybuck dude is a Dutch idiot, who wants nothing more than any form of attention.

Is there anything wrong with Skybuck getting attention if he needs or wants it? I just finished a minor flame war on slashdot about the inundation of tasteless, offensive, and unfunny jokes that has made slashdot very tiresome to read. By comparison, Skybuck is positively likable and, as far as I am concerned, even welcome.

I don't know about the other groups he posts to, but comp.arch has always been self-policing, and I can't see that he does any harm to anyone.

Robert.

Why would you care about efficiency? Aren't you planning to put like thirty-seven CPU fans on it anyway?

Don't forget the 500 W of blue LEDs.
