    The site appears to be down so I can't read if these clusters support Linux. Does anybody know?

    Why did this ass-munch decide to use black text on dark gray background? I have to highlight the article text just to read it. WTF?

    Ok. Please someone explain this. Has BBC really gone bonkers or is it for real?

    Pentagon officials have confirmed that Guantanamo detainees may still be kept in detention, even if they are found not guilty by a military tribunal.

      Nah... there just reporting what the rest of the world already knew. Even in the unlikely event of a fair trial they are screwed.

      Someone posed the question the other day:

      "If the US Constitution does not extends to Cuba, and the US Government's right to assemble an armed force is bestowed by the constitution, how can there be a military tribunal in Cuba?"

    Where he give some stats/benchmarks/observations as to how this thing performs, and if it was at all worth it?

    Those 800s are so gutless they can just barely playback a DVD, I can't see exactly what application you would give this cluster.

    Why, just the other day, I chained together two dozen Power Wheels (tm) Mini-ATV's dogsled-style and ran some benchmarks. The cluster generated an awe-inspiring 49.4 foot-pounds of torque, not far off from the 56 ft-lbs generated by a '93 Dodge Neon LSi. The tough part was not so much acquiring all the Power Wheels as training the monkey pilots to hit the accelerator on command...
