It might look like an innocent teddy bear, but behind the soft exterior lurks a GigaFast 5-port 10/100 ethernet switch."

    Ok, struggling to find some /. relevance to this, I'll just point out that the name Beowulf does, in fact mean "bear" (it's an Old English compound "beo" ("bee") + "wulf" ("wolf") = "bee predator" = "bear"). So this is clearly the right infrastructure for hooking up a Beowulf cluster.

    Ok, slim material, but I did like seeing the status LEDs in the eyes.
