IBM Testing New Grid Technology with Quake 2

boschmorden writes "In conjunction with IBM, a group of college students from the University of Wisconsin developed GameGrid, a derivative of IBM's OptimalGrid effort. The students adapted the open-source version of id Software's Quake 2 first-person shooter, and attempted to scale it across the grid to stress the system." IBM is also planning on developing Quake 2 bots to take advantage of the system.

    unprecedented evile/corepirate nazis/the walking dead, etc...

    that's right, this is not some silly game, & it works all the time, for all of us, & there's no (monetary) charge ever.

    as the lights continue to come up, all of the whoreabull payper liesense stock markup ?pr? ?firm? generated scriptdead bullshipping execrable will cease. that includes the terabytes of shilloneous stuff that doesn't matter at all, postdead buy va lairIE/robbIE et AL.

    at least until the planet/population rescue program (formerly unknown as the oil for babies initiative) is lowered from crisis mode. pretending everything is duckey/a chance to peddle phonIE payper liesense garbage, doesn't help.

    y'all can chortle/pretend more if you want to, but the dying/mutilated innocents aren't sharing your feigned ability to disregard unprecedented evile. any harm to the least of the innocents, is harm to all of you/us, & will require reparations by all of us.

    that's right, after the walking dead finish exterminating themselves, & sadly enough, some of us, it won't take long to clean this cesspool of greed/fear execrable up.

    the Godless wons are helping by continuing to show where their hearts lie.

    fortunately, mr stallman et AL, etcetera, is now offering comparable/superior software, to the payper liesense spy/bug wear feechurned models, in almost every circumstance. there'll be few, if any more softwar billyonerrors, as if there's a need for even won. tell 'em robbIE. you are won of the last wons whois soul DOWt, right? .asp for va lairIE's whoreabull pateNTdead PostBlock(tm) devise?, used against the truth/to protect robbIE's payper liesense stock markup bosses/corepirate nazi 'sponsors'. yuk.

    back on task.

    what might happen to US if unprecedented evile/the felonious georgewellian southern baptist freemason fuddite rain of error, fails to be intervened on?

    you already know that too. stop pretending. it doesn't help/makes things worse.

    they could burn up the the main processor. that would be the rapidly heating planet/population, in case you're still pretending not to notice.

    of course, having to badtoll va lairIE's whoreabully infactdead, pateNTdead PostBlock(tm) devise, robbIE's ego, the walking dead, etc..., doesn't slow us down a bit.

    that's right. those foulcurrs best get ready to see the light. the WANing daze of the phonIE greed/fear/ego based, thieving/murdering payper liesense hostage taking stock markup FraUD georgewellian fuddite execrable are #ed. talk about a wormIE cesspool of deception? eradicating yOUR domestic corepirate nazi terrorist/gangsters will be the new national pastime.

    communications will improve, using whatever power sources are available.

    you gnu/software folks are to be commended. we'd be nearly doomed by now (instead, we're opening yet another isp service) without y'all. the check's in the mail again.

    meanwhile... for those yet to see the light.

    don't come crying to us when there's only won channel/os left.

    nothing has changed since the last phonIE ?pr? ?firm? generated 'news' brIEf. lots of good folks/innocents are being killed/mutilated daily by the walking dead. if anything the situations are continuing to deteriorate. you already know that.

    the posterboys for grand larcenIE/deception would include any & all of the walking dead who peddle phonIE stock markup payper to millions of hardworking conservative folks, & then, after stealing/spending/disappearing the real dough, pretend that nothing ever happened. sound familiar robbIE? these fauxking corepirate nazi larcens, want us to pretend along with them, whilst they continue to squander yOUR "investmeNTs", on their soul DOWt craving for excess/ego gratification. yuk

    no matter their ceaseless efforts to block the truth from you, the tasks (planet/population rescue) will be completed.

    the lights are coming up now.

    you can pretend all you want. our advise is to

    "The Declaration of Independence dogmatically bases all rights on the fact that God created all men equal; and it is right; for if they were not created equal, they were certainly evolved unequal. There is no basis for democracy except in a dogma about the divine origin of man."

    "The truth is, of course, that the curtness of the Ten Commandments is an evidence, not of the gloom and narrowness of a religion, but, on the contrary, of its liberality and humanity. It is shorter to state the things forbidden than the things permitted: precisely because most things are permitted, and only a few things are forbidden."
