the .eu domain is now supporting ACE Internationalised Domain Name (IDN) names which means that most european characters can now appear in the domain name part of URIs and URLs !
For example http://café.eu or you could type http://xn--caf-dma.eu if your keyboard doesn't have a é character!

My iphone is used for 80 percent fun and waisting time and 20 percent which is divided up between productivity and information gathering. I have recently downloaded a 99 cent game that I have become addicted to.
WARNING: Do not under any circumstanced purchase this app because it is digital crack.
Skee Ball by FreeVerse Games
This game is highly addictive. I have become a skee ball junkie. but let me tell you I have scored 8,221 tickets and my highest score for a single game so far is 2,130. I have collected some rare and epic prices including a pastrami sandwich, a robot henchman, a pink toed tarantula, a glow in the dark lollypop, and a us senate seat. Among other prices.
Be aware that playing this game is public could result in some odd looks due to the outburst you will have. Think about what people on the subway maything when you scream out "Damn one of my balls is stuck!" "Oh man, it wouldn't go in the hole. "Thats right baby, slide real nice into that hole and don't fall out." "Oh man I rimmed it!".
People will have to cover their little kids ears, no one will want to sit next to you and you won't even notice the whispering and pointing because you will be so engrossed in your game.
So avoid this at all cost unless you want to at like a another foaming at the mouth junkie but if you decided to, and you can't say I didn't warn you, if you decide to get addicted feel free to brag to me about your loot you win.
According to http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/534 Intel initially chose not to extend their IA-32 processor family to 64 bits, preferring to promote their own but incompatible HP PA-RISC based IA-64 "Itanium" processor family !
but then Intel adopted AMD's 64-bit extensions into their IA-32 processor family, calling them "Intel 64" (aka IA-32e and EMT64). Final generation Pentium 4 & D, Celeron D, and Xeon processors and all "Core 2" based processors now include AMD compatible 64-bit extensions.
To add to the confusion https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ProcessorArch lists a few dozen Intel processors but doesn't make it clear which type a Pentium DualCore is ! Which is what my Compaq A900 notebook says it has in it !
I have 4G of RAM that I have only been able to access 3G of so far (with 4 different OS's)
Update :
It seems that my Pentium DualCore has PAE (?) support and when I install from the Xubuntu x86 (32-bit ?) CD I CAN see all 4G ! So what benefits if any would I get from using the Xubuntu 64-bit (AMD64) CD instead ?

According to http://hintofsarcasm.wordpress.com/2009/10/20/installing-chromium-on-opensuse-11/ installing the google chromium browser onto opensuse is a one click install ! Of course its zero clicks if you are already using a google opensuse chromium chrome os vm which comes with the google chromium chrome browser pre-installed !
