  • It’s a long bow to draw, but you could argue that AMD contributed to killing Clear Linux by taking back a lot of market share (particularly in the lucrative server market), forcing Intel to make big budget cuts, which included Clear Linux.

    In reality, Intel’s problems are largely self-inflicted. However, I don’t think they’d be in as much trouble as they are if AMD wasn’t also in such a strong competitive position.




  • I can think of a few fun combos for Star Wars (Episode 4 specifically):

    Alec Guinness (Obi-Wan Kenobi) as mentioned elsewhere in this thread

    Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) - Leia being interrogated by Muppet Tarkin and rescued by Muppet Luke, Han and Chewie

    Peter Cushing (Tarkin) would be a case of “less is more” but it could be funny. Not sure how well it would work for the whole movie though.





  • Those particular drums are usually used for solids, but with a plastic liner inside they can be used for viscous liquids as well. I wouldn’t fill one with a low viscosity liquid, you’d want a plastic or metal drum for that.

    Those drums in the picture are really badly filled as well, I’d have rejected them if they’d turned up to the warehouse looking like that back when I was doing QA.
