  3. Cosm on ABCnews story on the SETI project and SETI@home · · Score: 1
    Somebody out there (I know, I've forgotten who. . .) was putting together a generalized framework for distirbuted computing applications.


    It is called Cosm and more information about it is available from http://cosm.mithral.com or on channel #cosm on EFNet. The project leader is Adam L. Beberg aka Duncan. Coders are welcome to help.

  4. Re:Here's a question on SETI@home & RC5 · · Score: 2
    That's why Cosm will use signatures... you either sign yourself every code you trust (and you'll have the source available for that checkup) or you allow code signed by other persons you trust. You can then be sure your clients will only run projects you want. Come take a look at Cosm, stop by the channel #Cosm on EFnet or help us code it.. :)

  6. Forget that nonsense! Woooooo Beowulf! on Fermi's 2000 Node Beowulf Cluster · · Score: 1
    Why don't they just use a Beowulf cluster instead!?

    hummm, do you mean a 2000 node Beowulf cluster is not a Beowulf cluster?!!?!

  7. Yes! I'm more fearful of LSB than RedHat on Red Hat to ignore LSB? · · Score: 1

    A standard will generally list what you need to have to comply... so if a.out files were standardized earlier, it would only mean you have to support them to be complient... not that you can't support any other type of file. So you can continue to enhance things as long as you support the "standard" version as well. The standard could later be changed to reflect those improvements...

  8. What is its expiration date? on VMWare Beta Release · · Score: 1

    The license key I got expires April 15. Not sure if it's a fixed date or a one month period after license request though.

    http://www2.vmware.com/forms/Download.cfm

    You can also get the software from www2.vmware.com but most of the links will need to be changed manually to www2 (they point to www.vmware.com)
