Grid Computing Meets Web Services?

jgeelan writes "According to an article in the current issue of Web Services Journal, by ex-IBM, ex-Vitria Technology, ex-IONA middleware maven Dirk Hamstra, the open source initiative known as OGSA, the Open Grid Services Architecture, is poised to bring utility-based computing a step closer. "The combination of Web services and grid computing," Hamstra writes, "virtualizes networked resources using common computing standards, making them accessible to a larger audience." Amazing what a little R&D money from IBM, a prime grid-computing mover, can achieve."

I just want to say, no matter in how off-topic a way, that I'm proud to see that the first story posted on Slashdot on September 11, 2002, had absolutely nothing to do with last year's terrorist attacks. Folks, we're not terrified, and because of that, we've already won the war, regardless of the battles yet to be fought.
