I don't get it... To me death is an obvious part of the life cycle, which is the base for evolution. What way of thinking can bring you to the point where you think evolution is possible without death?
Various sources around the net speculate that this thing is already flying for some years now. Developed as a black program, this announcement would serve only to declassify it. One wonders how many $$$ already went into it...
It's 10U with 64 almost real servers (haswell xeons) and has integrated storage and networking. You only need to hook up some power and a beffy uplink to it and you're done. And did I mention a rest api to controll it? Works even with openstack baremetal if you want that. Last I heard (two weeks ago) Moonshot is still only at cli. Apollos on the other side, those are worth considering. But Moonshot... too little, too late.
Seriously, if I were Iran, I'd be installing OpenBSD on all critical infrastructure from day one when it became obvious that stuxnet damaged Natanz. As much as I like country and people of Iran, I have serious doubts of the mental capabilities of their leadership.
Fetches your online photo collection, offers you some options on layout and you get high quality (profesional printing) picture books delivered to your door.
Which means you can setup a dns proxy for IP traffic and use it. It's not fast but is very handy to have ready when you're for example on a wifi that wants you to pay for using it via some kind of web page.
It may be faster, but what about performance per watt? You know, the whole brain does everything on only 40-50 watts. How does this MIT product compare to brains in this area?
I've never had two drives fail in the same array. Ever.
Wow, you must be one lucky storage admin. After having whole batches of drives fail within hours of eachother, I'm also assembling all my raids that hold even slightly important data strictly with different disks from different manufacturers. Afterall, having fast access to data is less important than having an access at all.
I wonder how would latest sandy bridge based xeons compare to these... E3-1220L has two cores and 20W tdp, I'm trying to find it for my home server for the next 5 years or so.
I always found url shortening to be a weird and potentially dangerous practice. Trading some comfort to squeeze your link into a tweet for the comfort to actually predict where this link will take you? No thanks. If url does not fit into a tweet, then it's a tweeter problem that tweeter should fix. That's also why I don't use tweeter. I find IRC superior:)
I'm wondering how useful would these things be when combined with a stirling engine, with the cold part of it sticking into a local stream or lake or someting. Stirling would then power an electric generator and I'm sure the combined efficiency of it would be higher than best photovoltaics available today.
That's interesting. I learned basic on Spectrum when I was 6 but unfortunately I had no one to help me advance to assembly on zx80. Also I was too lazy (even back then) to save my programs to tape, so I focused on shortest programs that would give me interesting result and that I could type from memory in a few minutes. Things like exploring behaviour of x=rx(1-x) function etc. Consequently, now I'm a sysadmin;)
I'm impressed how while academia is all high on grids, billable cpu time, fault tolerant and robust distributed computing, in place live upgrades, all that is already in natural evolutional development out there in the wild. I'm sure that the botnet uptime numbers they get are much higher that any commercially available cloud, while running on household PCs with household broadband connectivity.
I think it's time to embrace the true nature of wild wild web. Where can I rent this botnet legally?

It looks smaller to me ...
Look at the likes of HP Moonshot and AMD Seamicro. Those are some nice toys to play with ...

It's cheaper, faster and available today. Check out www.mellanox.com - newest dual fdr cards are especially nice.
I think they have much better photo albums.

Woah, it even has the facebook Like button on the right! Really visioanry development for the time ...

If it would hit the antarctic, then the angels would surely come!

As an Opera user I haven't been on google front page for years - I just use g in url bar to search for whatever I'm searching for
Wake me up when smart "phones" do 1080p 3D (two CCDs) @ 60fps, for 8h on one battery.
The best growing "solar panels", freely available! :)
Or maybe some vegatables in a garden?
Even better example :D

Just use Opera. It does what you want for some time now.
Just use Freenet. It has both BBS style message exchange and the beginnings of something like smtp.
