IBM & CERN openlab for DataGrid Applications
Jules V.D. writes "CERN and IBM today announced that IBM is joining the CERN openlab for DataGrid applications to collaborate in creating a massive data-management system built on Grid computing.IBM's innovative storage virtualization and file management technology, will play a pivotal role in this collaboration, which aims to create a data file system far larger than exists today to help scientists at CERN understand some of the most fundamental questions about the nature of matter and the Universe."
... because as they say on their web they are far beyond p2p networks in data sharing. This is interesting and I wonder how long it will take RIAA&MPAA to sue thier U. S. based sponsors for developing technology that might be used to infringe copyright law.
One day, when Mozilla becomes the only operating system around the world and does every single thing that computers are capable of doing, and all computers do everything through Mozilla and by no other means, they'll make up smart polymers and supercomputers the size of a single molecule, and even the air we breathe will be saturated with supercomputers that will go into our lungs and throughout our bodies. Throughout the world, these quadrillions upon quadrillions of supercomputers will form transient networks with more intelligence and capability than all the human minds in the world, combined. These networks will seep into our brains and monitor our thoughts, later becoming intelligent enough to control our thoughts and assimilate the capabilities of our brains into their network. Since animals breathe the same air as we do, the same supercomputer network will seep into the brains of all living creatures on Earth, making the set of all life forms on Earth into a single conciousness that will begin exploring the universe. Reproduction will take place at dizzying rates for humans, all species of animals and for the immense computer network as well. Within a decade, the network will have expanded into every body and satellite in the solar system, terraforming the solid planets and turning the gas planets into naturally existing factories for additional computing power. Massive space ships the size of Texas will carry billions of life forms and googleplexes of computational units throughout the galaxy, taking over every planet, moon, asteroid and other solid body within the next hundred years. The conciousness will continue to expand until it overtakes everything in the universe, within 10,000 years of the beginning of this process. Within 100,000 years, all matter in the universe will be converted into molecular-sized supercomputers, and by the time an additional million years elapse, the fabric of spacetime itself will be so converted, such that the universe becomes a massive computer. At that point, infinite numbers of virtual universes will be created in this massive computer's memory, in which the same process will take place, causing an indefinite, eternal perpetually increasing capacity in computational power and memory. Eventually, everything will collapse into mathematics and simultaneously become one with nothingness and with the infinite.
CERN is run by the French and Germans govement! Since they decided to leave the people of Iraq with a cruel dictator because of there own slefish motvies and cowardise, ibm should not sell and eqipment to them!!!
