I have to give a presentation on a mathematical model today, and I am just now hearing about this; does anyone have a link to a paper they wrote or more information?
What are you using to benchmark your cluster? I benchmarked a pair of nehalem Xeons(the 2,0Ghz ones, i.e. the cheapest quad cores) at 90GFLOPS with linpack. Individually ~57Gflops.
I don't recall it ever being socially unaccebtable, though I do know it was considered - and is, if you ask me - a stupid thing to do, up there with jumping out of perfectly good airplanes.
I think your pilot might find it unacceptable if you try and bungee jump out of his plane
As someone from Texas, I would appreciate the name of the legislator in the summary.
And now that you have made me read TFA, it doesn't mention the legislators name either. I guess Mr. Bad Astronomer felt like taking this opportunity to bash Texas without actually helping people get something done.
Donate it to a local university. Or failing that, donate it to my university. who knows, the tax writeoff might leave you better off then the cost of electricity to do something with it?
Because you cannot legislate intent, only indisputable fact. They would have to go through the overly complicated tax code and fix every loophole thats is being exploited. And tomorrow the businesses would either find new loopholes or get legislation passed to implement more.
And don't forget many of the politicans who would have to do this are themselves benefiting from tax loopholes, or have friends/contributors who do.
The tax system needs to be drastically simplified or mostly done away with.
what about some sort of encryption setup where your doctor encrypts your records, gives them to you, and you can keep them on a server somewhere or a tiny flash drive in your wallet with a laminated piece of paper behind your drivers license telling the password/where/how to get the records?
if its LGPL, link to it, but don't modify it. If you need to modify it, make the modification in the form of a generic API extension and call it from the application. Make your extensions public.
If it is GPL, make it a service and call it through a socket.
but that is asking alot from an H1B visa worker who's working from an O'Reilly 'nutshell' book and bitching about how much better php is then C.

He's real big on the 10th amendment, as well as the other 26.
because the only oath a person takes when becoming a congressman or president is to uphold the constitution. Condemning bad things isn't in there, so he votes against it.
A similar example, a vote to give an award of some sort to Rosa Parks, he voted against it, and then offered to pay for it himself. Because buying awards for nice people isn't in the constitution, and if you follow his economics, you will understand that he is opposed to spending other peoples money on things that are not explicitly stated in the constitution.

What would be the benefit of one of these machines vs a 1920 core, 4x GTX 295 machine, if I do not need the extra memory on the GPU?
Until Apple bans it because they want to carve their logo into the moon, and can't support a competing application.
I have one of those already, mounted on /dev/null.
I'm not sure how big it is, but I have been writing stuff to it for years and it is still not full.
maybe they used http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers
I thought Net Neutrality was to prevent ISPs from filtering and controlling content, not protocols and speeds?

I know, until it can accept ASCII circuit diagrams, it is worthless to me.

Because that was years ago, only a few hundred thousand people on the internet remember it.
