Hm. I've never seen that flag before. My k8 supports only sse2. |

I've never been able to see any difference, so I don't use omit-fp. But, the |
| 14 |
main cpu-intensive app I use is gcc, and I admit I've never actually measured |
| 15 |
the difference. |

I agree completely, but the Software-As-A-Service paradigm is getting a lot |
| 20 |
of attention from M$ *and* google as a more profitable alternative to selling |
| 21 |
shrink-wrapped software like M$-Office. (M$ ran out of good ideas to persuade |
| 22 |
people to buy new versions of Office many years ago, IMHO.) |

When companies that rich and powerful push web-only services as the answer to |
| 25 |
their revenue prayers, I suspect they may be able to win. |

I hate web-mail, and I always use pop3 or imap when I can, but I can't force |
| 28 |
my employer to offer those services if they've decided that running a web- |
| 29 |
mail server is cheaper. I've tried many times, but I'm losing the battle. |

If the trend continues, only port 80 will be in use in a few years. Will the |
| 32 |
black hat hackers be unhappy about that? Dunno, but I'd guess not. |
