That system, imo, doesn't just fail - it is the fail.

A microwave? Lag much?
Stick to the tried and true toaster. Not only is it faster but the more you overclock it the better toast it makes.

I let Linux run my bathtub for me. Nothing like running some shell scripts to get the bubbles going ^^

combo that with perl and you've got a party.

Where does it ... fail? Sorry, was it installed with the RRoD like the 360? ............. I thought so.
As for games, please ... The PS3's exclusive library is bigger and stronger. Who else wants to talk smack about the PS3?

Now be waiting for Idol Master to be port into the PS3. ;D

I wonder what would happen with a linux powered car .... then I think about an MS powered car >_< ..

The Microsoft car would be able to have any engine, wheels, breaks, or stereo and will be easy to install by an amateur mechanic, assuming that all of them are name brand (signed drivers). If any of those parts, due to poor installation or wear, your parts fail, the car will instantly stop, turn on the check engine light, and allow a skilled mechanic to access the digital output to know what is wrong (BSoD). You will also get the same results if any of your tires go flat... or if someone opens the door when the car is in motion. If any of the doors are opened when the car is turned on, even if it is parked, the car will need to be restarted and it will run an automated check on the door locks to check if none where damaged due to improper release (scan disk). Also, all cars are manual transmission, though a well tuned one.
The Linux car will support any or all combination of parts or lack there of. Many cars will come with no dash board. You can install your own, assuming that you can figure out wiring, or take a standard one that does not quiet fit into the space for it (Desktop). Your car will come with a manual transmission though a generic automatic transmission can be picked up for free at the dealership. The automatic transmission will not support going in reverse (GUI vs. Command line). You will be ridiculed for using a dashboard and automatic transmission. Also, if you want to use a car part that is not popular among auto enthusiasts, you will have to weld it on yourself.
fohfoh:
LOL Kostya, agreed. MS would not allow the car to move in all sorts of scenarios which are not "safe". Linux would probably run even if your dash was installed under your crotch and your "dash area" replaced with a collection of LED lit hentai bobble heads.
The Apple car would probably have touch screens on everything, and the colors change on your dash for a certain speed you go, or a rainbow of colors for the RPMs. Never needs oil changes and such... smash into a pole instead of trying to fix it. It's easier.
