  1. Re:PERSONAL SUPERCOMPUTER on The Amazing Shrinking Supercomputer · · Score: 2, Informative


    Cray made the Cray EL series from '94-'97, they were a "deskside" computer. See here for more info.

  2. Re:Priorities.. on The Amazing Shrinking Supercomputer · · Score: 1


    with smaller and smaller machines we are posed the problem that if this '30 inch tv' sized unit fails, so does the entire super computer.

    For sure, however I think most places that need these would buy more than one. Think of it as one of SGI's processing "bricks" rather than the be-all, end-all.

    I've never jacked into anyones walkman nor have I ever been offered. I'm not suprised this is a Mac-first thing that becomes widespread.

    Radio sucks, at least in my city. No Motorhead, no Slayer, no Libido Airbag, etc etc. Just hip hop lameness and dance crap. Hence my MP3 player :)

  5. so cool on iPod-Jacked · · Score: 5, Funny


    That's quite cool.

    "What are you listening to?" may end up being the 2000's version of "What's your sign?". It's a nice, safe, social sharing event without the drawbacks and risks of disease or mental impairment.

    NB: I'm not saying that having an iPod will get /.'ers laid, that's just crazy-talk.

  8. True story. on Red Hat CEO Matthew Szulik Responds · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    True story.

    I was just in the washroom. In the urinal I saw a fruit fly minding his own business, tasting the dried urine or whatever fruit flies do in a urinal.

    I watched it for about 10 seconds then decided it was time to die. Moving my urine stream over I hit the fly and watched it in the pool at the bottom of the urinal. It struggled for its life as it drowned in my bright yellow waste (vitamin B complex gives urine an unnatural yellow colour).

    I knew that when I stepped back from the recepticle that the automatic flush would kick in and the fly would be washed into the city's waste system. It was empowering watching the little fruit fly fight for its life. I smiled then stepped back.

    Goodbye, my little friend.

    Having "Geek County" rescind their plans for this carries much more clout in the mainstream than does Butthole, Alabama or wherever.

    Be proactive, people! Print off a copy of the goatse.cx guy so if and when the net chokes you can tape it to your monitor. You may not even remember that you're offline after a few hours.

  18. Re:great on Cisco Working to Block Viruses at the Router · · Score: 2, Insightful


    To me the suprising thing are all the antivirus companies chipping in to this project. They have a huge industry based on Microsoft's poor coding and won't give it up. This will (may?) slow down current viruses but there will be new types appearing. These companies have shareholders to appease.

    TinFoilHat time:
    I imagine any news that is negative to MS' bottom line will be relegated to the back of the bus, much like Linux search results in MSN's search. Thanks, but I'll use a news engine from a company with in interest in cool tech, not spinning the news to appease stockholders.
