Every time I see one of these fool "future weapons", like the Tank Destroying Laser, that solve battlefield problems that don't exist, my immediate thought is "what tard has his stars riding on this turkey?"
Is this woo laser supposed to destroy materiel? And this beam thingy is better than a missile how? For that matter, it's better good-ol depleted uranium rounds how? Pfraf.
Is it supposed to destroy people? If you want to destroy people you can't beat little jagged pieces of metal flying around at supersonic speeds. What does this thing offer other than lots and lots of initial cost and logistical headaches? Pfraf.
The article lacks, as usual, information about what those machines actually do when they compute together.
Thank you, Kim0, for stating so clearly what needed to be said. I'm particularly glad that these Slashdot children were here today to hear it.
"Cluster" has got to be the most over-loaded and hence now meaningless word in all of computing. This article didn't even have a link to anything that would help curmudgeonly types like myself, who firmly believe that the only real cluster is an SSI and who type run-on sentences with lots of commas in them, determine exactly what is being talked about here. Harumph.
It's now to the point that the only reason I ever boot up Windows at home is to run Civ III... so I guess I really don't care about Linux "interoperating" with Microsoft there...
I do have to fool with Windows stuff at work, and ya know, every time I do I end up popping a vein over some stupid decision they made that makes my life harder... but the corporaTards aren't switching off of their Windows 2k3 servers or AS400s or XP desktops so I guess I really don't care about linux "interoperating" there...
I guess I just don't care if Linux "interoperates" with Windows at all.
Yeah, it may look at first glance like this story is about officious bureaucratic democrats... sorry... government worker fucktards but let's all remember a couple of things before we howl in derision.
1) They might have thought that the unrecognized laptop was a new model of Dell Inspirion
2) Dell Inspirions have been classified as class-3 destructive devices by the BATF since 1996
Depression is a catch all diagnosis for people that simply can't cope - why we put up with you all instead of gassing you in camps continues to elude the rest of us
SP1 pre-upgrade service patch install patch service upgrade install patch doesn't work. So what? Who cares? Operating systems and (ick) code are so... 80s.
This is the new millenium; this is the new Microsoft. How are ad revenues? What's our advertising market share? We are gonna f***ing kill Google!!
1) Science is a process. It is a way of doing things. Some people find that process to be a very good way of figuring things out. However, a process cannot provide you with the answers you require.
2) If you choose not to use that particular process, don't. You are free to believe that Shiva danced the universe into existence if you wish.
The universe is not constrained by our beliefs or theories. Deal.
If we can somehow breed subway-proof cats, I'm sure the problem will be solved in a jiffy (and replaced by an infestation of enormous subway-proof cats)

Well, not to trumpet my own horn, but *my* simulation accurately simulated panic crowd dynamics across multiple solution domains.
My simulation found that standing around waiting for the elite body-armored SWAT/SEAL anti-zombie strike force was the default human response even though the elite body-armored SWAT/SEAL anti-zombie strike force couldn't figure out to shoot the damn things in the head which was the obvious solution even to the chick with the shotgun who acts by looking through her eyebrows all the time.
This default response has repeatedly instantiated across multiple simulation event cycles.

Whatever you programming language you use, will all programmers here please shut up a minute and re-read this: I very frequently when coding in C, Java, or C# split things onto multiple lines that could be expressed in a single line.
And this: Casting pointers to other things, doing math, switching to array notation, then suddenly treating the whole expression as a function pointer, and feeding a stream of other things as arguments into the function... That kind of thing is amusing, but has no place in typical production applications code.
And finally: Then one day I decided I just would write code that was simple and made sense
And take them to heart. And cast them in stone. And live by them Thank you.

I'm sorry, you've mistaken us for the old Microsoft. That Microsoft was a software developer. We are the new Microsoft. We are an advertising agency. We have no time to worry about code-monkey trivialities like making a file system that can store files.

My point in the original meant-to-be-snarky-comment was that Microsoft should, you know, like, pick one. If it wants to be an ad agency, go for it (though why any company who can coin money like MS would be trying to "diversify" outside of software is beyond me), dump the code to Windows and Office out into some OpenMS group and move on. If it wants to be a software company, be a software company, stop wasting corporate energy and resources on sideshows like advertising and make some good software for a change.
If the Longhorn/Vista fiasco proved one thing it's that the current schizophrenic Microsoft can't do anything right... Hey! Just like all those other brain-dead "conglomerates" (Honeywell, TRW, United Technologies, etc) who "diversified" outside of their area of expertise.

OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE /. still can't display the EURO sign, what the fuck is wrong with you people?
I'm afraid that displaying the Euro e-bar-thingy symbol would violate the Slashdot Rules Of Order, Articles 1,3,5 and 7: "no pooftahs". Sorry.

Hey Microsoft! Here's a radically new marketing strategy for you!

Mr./Ms. AC, you need to get yerself whatcha call yer Slashdot account so as your comments don't get scored zero right offen the bat like.
That brilliant little piece of writing was so good it scores "I wish I'd written that" on the Oxen scale.
I don't know such things. I just do eyes. Only eyes.
