Most jet engines, these days, are high bypass turbofan engines. In many respects, not that much different from a Turboprop. The bulk of the thrust comes from the driven element, ie. the fan or prop, rather than the thrust from the turbine itself.
The Blit was commercialized into the DMD5620 using a 32 bit WE32000 processor. Sadly, this made it prohibitively expensive. To make it more price competitive, it was redone with a 68000 processor as the 630MTG. This was ironic, as the original Blit was also based on the 68000. Later a network interface, supporting both OSI and TCP/IP, was added along with additional memory and a faster CPU as the 730MTG. The 730MTG could also run X-Windows.
They were remarkably productive over a serial line.
I miss Gebaca!
Another fork off the Blit design was the Not. It was based on a 68020 processor, and was the original graphics workstation for Plan 9. The origin of the name is amusing, it looked like a 630MTG with a DMD5620 keyboard and mouse. When asked if it was a 630, the answer was that is was Not. A name was born.
is their updates to software and the quality of those updates. As an example, Samsung Epic 4 owners have waited many months for the update to Froyo. Finally, an update was pushed out recently, and promptly withdrawn. A working update is still not shipping.
I own neutrality.org. If any readers would be interested in assisting me in fighting the good fight, please drop me a note at ideas@neutrality.org. My intent is to use this to promote network neutrality, and not to make a quick buck.
Clearly, the engineering problems of large-scale superconductivity are formidable. But it seems they are not insurmountable. The first such project is already well under way, providing lessons that likely will prove invaluable in all future attempts.

1) Scientists will be analyzing data from the Tevatron for years to come. Just because new data is no longer being produced doesn't mean the science stops.
2) Bob Young, one of the founders of Red Hat, credits Fermilab's adoption of Linux as one of the most significant events in success of Linux.
3) Fermilab pioneered the application of super-conductors for use in building the Tevatron.
4) The term "computing farms" was coined at Fermilab.
5) Both the bottom and top quarks were discovered at Fermilab. There is still a lot of science that can be done understanding both. The cancellation of BTev was tragic.
6) The original Linux CD driver was developed by one of the members of the DZero experiment at Fermilab.
The Declaration of Independence does provide context by which some of the Constitution may be interpreted. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..." is the thesis that the Constitution is designed to implement. Unfortunately, it appears that I am in the minority in this interpretation.
Education. Talk to many network engineers these days and ask them about queueing theory. After the deafening silence, you may wish to rethink who is architecting your network.

How long?
What is good for a decade may not be good for a century, and vice versa.
For millenium+ archives, nothing beats punch cards.

Go talk to NOAA about weather reports. A fine example of success and HPC.
Actually, I run a 500+ seat callcenter on OpenAFS. Makes my life much easier than the Samba implementation it replaced.
Built for that very purpose.
Nailed! Higgs, here we come!

TV's used to sync to the power line until well into the 1960's. The tolerances needed for color put an end to that,
I wonder how well these chips compare to the R16000's?

and keep it for years than have the latest and greatest every year. Sadly, it is getting tougher and tougher to find those quality products,
I can get a tan while sitting in front of my monitor.
But it is becoming increasingly difficult to find the information I really want/need in my searchs.Maybe it is time to change your metrics.

Correction: The budget to run the Tevatron is only $35MM/year. So, only $105MM to run it until 2014. The $250MM/year was for the entire lab.
The operating budget for the Tevatron was about $250MM/year. That would be one big crowd to pull that off.
