Grid Computing Coming Of Age

ravenousbugblatter writes "The New York Times online has an article discussing grid computing and recent advances made by Dr. Ian Foster, among others. The article compares the state of grid computing over the internet to where the internet was in 1994, which was soon after the development of the software for the use of URL's, HTML, and HTTP. Predictions are made in the article that in the near future the massive power of grid computing will be available to anyone with an internet connection, not just to big companies that can afford to hire HP and Sun to run a grid project for them."

GNAA NOTES!!!

RE: Rob Malda's Interest In GNAA
REPLY-TO: GNAA@hotmail.com
SUBJ: RFC!!!

Hello my fellow gay niggers. I have a matter to bring to your attention. Recently I have been contacted by a Mr. Rob Malda. He states that he is a "gay wigger." He goes on to suggest that, while he is not a nigger (and he wishes he could be one), he would like to be involved with the GNAA. Mr. Malda would like to create the Gay Wiggers Association of America (GWAA) as sort of a sistah group of the Gay Niggers Association of America. I raise this issue because I am curious as to whether Rob Malda actually is white. To me, he seems like a dirty spic. The white man is known for his intellect, something that Mr. Malda clearly lacks. Nevertheless, expanding the reach of the GNAA is in our best interest and I suggest we invite Rob Malda to a meeting. While there we can fuck him in the asshole until he bleeds and make him eat some fecal matter. After that, we'll discuss his actual racial makeup and determine a course of action from there.

To join the GNAA, you only have to be gay, OR a nigger. You don't have to be both. I would like to know, if the requirements are the same in the GWAA. Would I, as a heterosexual wigger, be able to join? And what about wangstas? Would they be given the same rights as wiggers? Would dual membership between the GNAA and GWAA be possible under any circumstances? These, and other questions urgently need to be addressed.

This short black and white comedy begins over a peaceful starfield as a narrator who sounds strung out on Qualudes babbles on about a universe where men can "express" themselves, all possible because someone loves us and watches over us "as we play" (?). Of course, it's implied that the ones watching over the galaxy are "the gay niggers from outer space" (the narrator's voice quivers as he lingers on every syllable of this title). The scene shifts to the deck of the Ring Musculatoris #2, where brave leader Captain B. Dick investigates this new "Earth," a world infested with icky females. The narrator informs us that the Gay Niggers come from the planet Anus where they have been able to create a male-only way of living, " a perfect society" he eerily intones. For some reason, being a black homosexual alien also involves dressing up like a member of Parliament Funkadelic but this small detail is never fully explained. The crew beams the young gay Cadet Arminaus down to the planet, and after a brief exchange with a woman the frightened alien vaporizes her with his death ray. This elite group of interstellar gays make quick work of Earth, moving from continent to continent and exterminating anything with a menstrual cycle. In Asia they blast a bunch of horrible young women torturing a poor little geek, who joyfully embraces the black alien after being freed from his bondage. Sensing that victory is in their grasp, the entire crew fists a mystical brown ring to find out which one of them will be left on earth as the new gay ambassador, who will be transformed into a white dorky-looking fellow (?????) to lead the planet into it's new gay future. The short ends with a brief colorized pool scene where the transformed inhabitants of Earth take a stand "for a gay universe!" The offensive title combined with strange imagery and wacky alternative lifestyle humor makes Gay Niggers... an instant underground classic that's definitely superior to most of the dreck that passes for American short cinema. The guys who made this (Danish filmmaker and comedian Morton Lindberg) were obviously going for the jugular and they succeded, right to the anti-social extremes of comedy. Definitely a must for that boring sweet sixteen party or hospital visits for hernia surgery.

Parent escapes grid computer lameness filter

[ratfynk]

Attention please find anon coward post has escaped lameness filter with disasterous secret SCO code. Resulting compilation proves Linux is actually a reverse engineering of SCO Unix, not a real operating system. For that matter any program or operating system using C is just a clone of the IP of SCO. Attention all OS resellers prepare to meet thy doom. Be prepared to apply to Utah as the computer software center for all program code, including grid computing on the internet. (I just said that to be somewhere near on topic!)
