Efficient Supercomputing with Green Destiny
gManZboy writes: "Is it an oxymoron to have an efficient supercomputer? Wu-Chun Feng (Los Alamos National Laboratory) doesn't believe so - Green Destiny and its children are Transmeta-based supercomputers that Wu thinks are fast enough, at a fraction of the heat/energy/cost, according to ACM Queue." 240 processors running under 5.2kW (or less!) is nothing to sneeze at. The article offers up this question: might there be other metrics that might be important to supercomputing, rather than relying solely on processing speed?

An ass-stretching competition in a Michigan town ended in tragedy with the winner dead and several runners-up in intensive care.
"The competition lasted 5, perhaps 6 inches and the winner shoved an ungreased Yoda doll. He was taken home by taxi but died within 20 minutes," said Eric Raymond, an Open Source advocate and former VA Linux director.
"Five contestants ended up in intensive care. Those not in hospital turned up the next day, ostensibly for another ass stretching."
Mr Raymond said the Slashdot editors organizing this month's contest had been charged with manslaughter. He had offered 10 Yoda dolls and a pirated RedHat 9 CD to the competitor who could stretch his ass the most.
Slashdot editors take the equivalent of 15 yards of pure man-cock per ass annually, one of the highest rates in the world. Some experts estimate 90% of Slashdot editors and moderators are homosexual.

Jesus HH Christ, you fucktard. Pick up a dictionary before you open your shithole and spew your mental garbage on the world. excepted and expected are entirely different words. Even the goddamn punjabs get that shit right. Can I get an amen?
The sole unfortunate drawback of this highly efficient supercomputer is that it can only be properly wielded by Chow Yun Fat.
