Two Directions for the Future of Supercomputing

The Los Alamos labs have a couple of new toys. One built for raw numbercrunching speed, and the other for efficiency. The article has interesting numbers on the performance/price (price in the power consumption and maintenance sense) ratios for the two machines. As an aside... 'Deep Blue', 'Green Blade' ... wonder what Google Sets would think of that..."
for a site that supports privacy, how come slashdot continues to post nytimes articles? it is really hypocritical. NY times obviously has registration so they can SELL personal info and make more money.
Slashdot supporting such a site is disgusting and immoral.
Yes, I think it's clear to everyone by now that if a page is hosted on the NYTimes website that you need to register. We know, there's no need to point it out in EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE. If you don't like it, you know by now not to go there. It's not too difficult, at least to the crowd that reads /, to figure out.

JESUS! It's just putting in a stpid email address, it takes all of 2 seconds to do. Or you can use that site that DOES IT FOR YOU. I'm getting so tired of seeing "(free registration required, NYT sucks ass, we should all crap in a bag and mail it to them until they stop making people register)" in every story that has a NYT article. They offer a service. A FREE service. If you don't want to register then just scroll down into the comments and find the post that has the link to the article without registration. Or find the post that has the login/pass that someone registered for this particular article.
I'll even do you a favor. Use
SpecialEds as a login and
suckass for a password.
Yes, I really did register it for the people that don't want to make up a fake email address and click on a few menus.
Jesus people are fucking lazy sometimes.

Thank you for pointing that out for the 18 billionth fucking time on Slashdot.
