the problem isn't his qualifications but his faith in the slashdot community to come up with creative and novel solutions
your response is a perfect example of typical slashdot ignorance... you have no ideas yourself so you resort to slandering the op for not coming up with the right question
i guess we should reserve "ask slashdot" for questions like "which hole is the best to fuck my mom?"
i don't know enough to answer the op (i use virtualbox and xen but not with 100+ users) but there's nothing wrong with his question... it's nerdy, and he might know how to do it already but is curious about what alternatives can be proposed by his fellow nerd community
it's just a pity that douchebags like you seem to be par for the course on/.
actually if the guy is moving between hostels he isn't exactly loaded with cash, and many people like to have a break from regular work
he's probably single with no wife/girlfriend or family to support
i say good on him and wish him luck in his adventure
my advice would be to leave the computer at home. there is a good chance that wherever you go will have slow or no internet access anyway, and power connectors vary between countries. also, why travel the world if you're just going to hunker down in a hostel at a computer? seems like a huge wasted opportunity to go outside and experience the countries and cultures you visit. i'm not saying you should be an ignorant tourist with a camera strapped around your neck, but if you're going to visit another country and spend the time programming on your computer you way as well save your money and travel with google earth and streetview.
he could also be a pizza face teen in his mom's basement posting what he wishes he could do, but in either case if it's the most pretentious thing you've read in a while you clearly don't do much reading.
Well not in america anyway... in america the various acronyms (FBI, CIA, DEA, HS, etc) just make up the laws as they see fit at the time, and nobody can do anything to stop them... as much as Alex Jones is a kook (he does it for the attention I think), his stance on the government isn't that far off the mark.
or maybe people don't like the idea of being a walking advertising billboard for google... oh hang on morons have been doing that with their clothing for years... yeah i dunno it doesn't make much sense... oh hang on... maybe people are starting to make sense... mmmm...... naah
my comment was relevant to the post i was replying to, which was trying to say that home computing has nothing to do with parallel workloads, which is wrong
and every application is IO-bound, including on supercomputers... maybe if you're just crunching the value of pi to the millionth decimal place you may not need IO, but if you're trying to do anything useful (like crunching data from SETI or the human genome project or trying to predict the weather), you're going to need real data. that's why things like SANs were created.
maybe ask google how parallel their search engine operation is
putting advertising with no content on a high profile parked domain is like a car thief stealing a car and putting a big sign saying "stolen car" on it
all the guy has to do is scrape some comments off random xbox forums and he can argue he's not parking
so you don't like a nerdy FA linked on a site that markets itself as 'news for nerds'?
maybe if you don't like any form of online activity that could possibly be construed as advertising you're better off disconnecting your internet altogether
after all, you used the word 'really' in your post, which contains 'real', so obviously you're astroturfing for real networks... shill much?
Yes, like the escalating "war on drugs", which has caused our prison population to mushroom and is responsible for a large part of violent crime, illegal migration, judicial racism, and lack of treatment for addicts.
maybe cos there's been an explosion in the number of fucked up druggos, especially in NSW

"free" as in "free beer" or free as in "we'll own you're ass later"

i guess if you look at it like that then each computation performed on a supercomputer is only using a single core too
i'm sure they're going to a Better Place
not if the domain is registered in yemen
or better yet...

much better to encourage people to think there's no money in domain squatting against MS
microsoft is well versed in the art of shutting people up with nda's
$400 is - literally - nothing to a company like this
so they won't mind giving me a free copy of windows?
what about XBox For Workgroups
maybe he was sitting and spinning
it's full of tubes
lucky i didn't say supercomputing then or else i'd have really looked like a fool

Most PC users depend on parallel computing in ways they can't even imagine
what do you think goes on at the other end of the copper/fibre cable?
it's only child porn if it gets on the internet for all the sick weirdos to download
there is nothing wrong with my argument
regular people aren't addicted to drugs
even smokers aren't regular people... many of them are welfare bums
drugs are bad... mkay
