I just took out the hard drives and took them with me on the plane. Everything was fine when it finally arrived. The movers just boxed up the computers like everything else. I've done this twice now...
The key is on the left... yellow is tracker hits (charged particles only), red electromagnetic calorimeter deposits (could be anything, but electrons and photons leave larger deposits as they should stop), blue is hadronic calorimeter depoits (anything not stopped in the electromagnetic calorimeter, so probably not electrons of photons). Muons will show up in all these detectors are reach the other muon systems.
The beam isn't shown, but the estimated primary vertex is (where the two protons collided).
I work on CMS, one of the six experiments. We have about 1.6PB of disk in the CERN storage system and 4PB of tape. I don't know about the other experiments. We do keep a copy of the initial data at CERN as well as at least one other site, tapes and disks do break and we don't want to lose the data.
Me too, but only at 37". I'm probably not interested in those games though... Can hope that Mass Effect or Halo 3 support it. Actually now my games (on the xbox 360) do play at that resolution, so they must be up-scaled somehow.
You might want to check out xrootd if this is read-only data. It does work for read-write but it isn't as performant as you might want without serious application work. This is a server that uses a redirector to send clients to the machine with the actual data. The web site is http://xrootd.slac.stanford.edu/.
I heard today about a 17hour long rate of 850Mb/s from Washington state to Brussels. Not quite as far but twice as fast. It was using some mix of TCP and UDP to avoid TCP reduction due to lost packets.
I've printed using cups over the network without problems. The machine with the printer had both linux and windows on it and it worked in both cases (one used smb, the other ipp). It was an Epson 740.
I've posted a pointer to this earlier, but I'll do it again. If you look at http://www.linux-usb.org/policy.html you'll find scripts to automatically load drivers. Not all devices are supported yet but patches to add new drivers are welcome.
I believe the support for USB2 is already present in 2.4 bar the host controller driver (ehci). AFAIK there is only one of these so far which is available for $800 if you are a member of the USB-IF.
You should note that most of the work is not by RedHat. I'm not sure what exactly they have added (I've not checked if they are using their own startup files or our's).
Things change with scale. My experiment, BaBar, has about 130TB in our Objectivity object databases at the moment. It grows at about 10MB/s.
Most of our servers are on Solaris, although we also support Compaq TruUNIX64 and Linux. There is a HPSS backend as we only have a few TB of disk.
We've had some problems bring up sites which use Linux servers, but I don't think any of these are different than the problems we had to solve for Solaris (we gave up on HP a long time ago).

Incidently offtopic, the LHC is down at the moment and has been all day. Apparently its something about a lost patrol.
As you know they came back with a captured beam. Shame we're out of phase...
You could get an old Xbox 1.

I was down there today... I thought it was last week but the article says the 9th November (I'm sure it is more accurate than my memory).
So the actual speed was faster.

On Thursday 7th July there were four bombers with backpacks.
On Thursday 21st July there were four attempted bombers with backpacks.
Are you really surprised that they were extra careful with people with backpacks on Thursday 28th July?
"fusing two hydrogen nuclei together to get helium" isn't what happens, you need four... seems like a very basic error to make.
It is on their page here;

I wonder if I should post this here again... oh well, I will. http://roofit.sourceforge.net/ is based on ROOT and adds some of what is wished for.
BTW, I posted a link to an addition to ROOT that probably makes it a little more suitable (http://roofit.sourceforge.net/).

I couldn't get into it much.
The palm power supply plugs into the serial port connector. Not sure what voltage that puts out though.... probably not more than 12V.
for the bandwidth. I guess everything starts around $50. Ricochet is faster and only a little
more expensive (crosses fingers that it keeps going).

..and now name all their files Metalica....
supposed to be 995 and 1995 for 2 node and unlimited versions, its now 1795 and 3495
I just looked at their web site and the price is just slightly more than the 995 and 1995 you quote. Where did you get the other prices?
