[geeks] As Heard on TV

[Jonathan C. Patschke]

Dell Commercial:
  Suit: "Why did you install these new servers?"
  Tech: "To cut costs...these new PowerEdge servers use Intel Xeon
         processors, so we don't get locked into proprietary
         technologies."

1:    Hahahahaha!  Pull the other one!
2:    Does anyone actually know what "proprietary" means anymore?
2.1:  Which IEEE standard describes the Intel Xeon, again?  Oh wait,
      that's SPARC, my mistake.
