A database with a graphical query language. Cute. Interesting. Well realized. But not impressive in any meaningful programming sense. I bet someone can come up with something identically functional by making a graphical extension of Python and throwing in an object store in the backend.
You put your stuff through more abuse than most people, you do realize that, right? This is being typed on a 1.4 GHz Celeron M w/ 512 MB RAM (FSC AMILO L1300). There's gotta be 5 years on this thing. Que the "I'm typing this on a VAX"type responses.
Yeah, there are lots of cycles, but cache and bandwidth are lacking. You would be better off offloading the stuff on the GPU. I wonder what the Galium3D guys are doing these days...
Also, I'd say the best solution would be a hybrid software/hardware RAID, where the parity calculations are offloaded to algorithmically specialized, but general purpose hardware (i.e. GPGPU). Just my $0.02.
IOW, SCSI commands in ATA packets (via ATAPI spec) in Ethernet frames is better choice. I never got what's the hype around byzantine SAN back-bones. There are specs for wrapping the stuff in Ethernet, then just let 'er rip in some phat 10 Gbps pipes. Anyone with me?
There, I just weakened my argument, and made a complete ass of myself, specifically with by making evident my inability to distinguish between humor and examples.
How much is paralelizable, anyway? I'd really love it if I could offload stuff like that to the GPU. If only someone would get some actual good quality drivers out. *cough*ATiI'mLookingAtyou*cough*
I've always wanted something like cat eyes, preferably with dragon coloration - emerald green and ruby red. I'll have all the chicks into Twilight at my feet...:P
Do we really need to trade? A low-level program specializer, integrated with both the hardware and OS ought to give us the best from both worlds. Also, running emulators would be near bare metal speed, so along with hardware implemented support for capabilities/jump-tables that ought to accelerate system/function call capture and virtualization, giving you the platform of the future. This OT ramble brought to you by lots of coffee.

Mod parent up.
That's some real screwed up OOP. Also, what the hell does OREO and COOKIES mean? They don't seem to be valid data types.

[UsableCapacity] = ( [#ofdrives]-1 ) * [TotalCapacity] / [#ofdrives]

Another reason we need general purpose I/O co-processor. Maybe a simple blitter chip with MMIO would suffice.

You don't define variables, you declare them.
http://ioke.org/ is good. Just my $0.02

FTFY.

I usually emulate a stack machine, and it works quite well.

Lucifer is/was a god of light and darkness, IIRC. Mod parent up, BTW.

Rhino anyone? (FGoogle it yourself!)
They should.
XML has an encryption standard. Just FYI, my $0.02.
Takes 33 MB in Chrome. You were saying?
Which has a Java based Web implementation (the server is an applet). Don't know what to make of that... (Google it yourself... I'm too stoned...)

Does anybody see google wave in slashdot's future?
