And that you are verifying the MD5 checksum of the source code to the build on my phone! And a UN panel to supervise the foundry in which the hardware md5 check was being performed!
The submarine transmission cable between Norway and the Netherlands had costs of EUR 1.03M per kilometer, with a capacity of 700 MW.
Compared with overhead power lines quite expensive (e.g. a project in Austria: estimated EUR 0.98M per kilometer with 2* 1300 MW), but much cheaper than underground cables (same Austrian project plan: EUR 9,75M per kilometer).
seacables are not as cheap as overhead cables but nearly donated compared to buried lines....
If you're going to build a 50,000 node supercomputer, I'm pretty sure you're not going to let yourself be limited by ethernet cables.
the Ethernet connection is directly quoted from the paper:) and it was more meant as "nice idea, but there are many not addressed practical problems" but as a show stopper argument.
I mean, if you can make something magical happen with a million cores in real time, why can't you just use the plain old Internet and make it happen with a million cores in 1/100th or 1/1000th real time?
sometimes I miss the obvious; this is a *very* interesting thought. the BOINC project "be part of a brain" (cover title,should be changed before release...) would attract my attention
[..] we have yet to gain access to silicon [..] But we have exposed the design to extensive simulation, up to [..] models incorporating four chips and eight ARM968 processor
I like the grandness of their vision but it would be nice to see at least a real-world version of one node (the 20 processor thingy). How big are the smallest cases needed for such a node? Is it even realistically possible to place 50000 of those within the range limits of Ethernet?
no idea about the US but here(tm) in the EU trademarks are not registered exclusively for every usage but for one (or many...) classes according to the Nice Classification (stupid javascripty page, no idea how to deeplink to "Class Headings").
So it would probably impossible to register the generic term "Internet" as trademark for class 38 (telecommunication) or 9 (data processing equipment and computers), but until 2009 (the holder deleted the trademark) "Internet" was in Germany registered for class 39 (travel arrangement).
in 2005 I was intern in subsidiary controlling at a German enterprise; one of the companies was merged with an US-based competitor, financed as a 50/50 deal with the Swedish P.E. firm EQT. what I experienced and heard is not so bad, the investor seems to be long-term interested.
today the founded company is healthy and still owned by the two founding/financing partners. no hard facts but at least an anecdote:)
no idea about the EU but compared to Germany the USA are wiretap noobs.
In 2009 (no newer data available) we had over 5000 legal procedures resulting in wiretap authorizations, with the unsettling sum of over 20000 granted decrees.
otoh, it is a long way from "we can't access your content stored in our service" to "we need publishing rights for everything". Dropbox burnt a lot of goodwill within the last months
this is not universally true but at least in Germany pay TV is only a niche, most of the market is covered by channels of the public broadcasters (ARD and ZDF) and two free-to-air commercial networks (ProSiebenSat1 Media and RTL Group).
If facebook could only be accessed by telnet, we'd have no problem getting young people to know technology.
if only I could believe in this dream - but no, if Facebook would only be reachable by non-convenient tools it would be a (sometimes social) network of nerds and geeks like you and me. Even with technologies like HTTP and CSS it would be perfectly possible to destroy the point&click-for-dummies environment of the current big webtwozero-thingies: Just take a look at the _horrible_ usability of the/. commenting system - do you think a Farmville player and Like user would spend hours on one site if it would similar to this one?

nah, not enough. md5 is COMPLETELY BROKEN!!!11!

YMMV
I see the problem :) but at least one quite decent OS project still supports your baby...

more like "will it run anything anytime?"

I once added on a hot summer day 100 g of chocolate to my keyboard. bad idea...
social networks can accompany and reinforce on-the-street-revolutions, but they are not the sole tool for such uproars

As soon as they realized that dogs don't have wings, did they consider fitting them with jet packs?
this was tried before but unfortunately the dog was dead before she could locate any corpses

you should know, the underlined text in TFS is called "link" and you can "click" it with your "mouse". Good luck!
hmm, are "brains" a subset of "naughty bits"?

your argument is valid and I couldn't agree more - but you should add the comment to this thread
