Linus: Praying for Hammer to Win 487
An anonymous reader writes "The boys at Intel can't be happy with the latest opposition to the IA-64 instruction set. According to this Inquirer scoop, Linus himself has weighed in, and it appears he's putting his eggs in the x86-64 basket. In the original usenet post, he goes so far as to say that 'We're ... praying that AMD's x86-64 succeeds in the market, forcing Intel to make Yamhill their standard platform.'"

The Other Lord's Prayer? (Score:5, Funny)
Thy kernal come.
Thy will be done in desktops, as it is in servers.
Give us this day our daily rpm.
And forgive us our crons jobs, as we forgive our cron jobers.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from Microsoft:
For thine is the kernal, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
