Having a fast computer is cool and all, but if you can do it with 252 CPUs instead of 1024 (#22, P4 2.4), isn't that a win? It really depends on whether you think liquid cooling is a win.
The rest of the initial setup of eight cabinets won't arrive until ORNL completes construction of its new 40,000-square-foot computational sciences facility.
At 64 processors per cabinet, the "initial installation" will be 512 processors.
Do you know how useless that tidbit of information is? Televisons come in many different sizes, from the very small to the very large. What's the size in standard 19 inch units?
Fox garnered a 80% misperception rate, while PBS/NPR audiences mispercieved about 23% of the time. I wonder what the equivalent rate among uruk.net readers was...
I think you will have to be more specific. The IMDB lists tens of thousands of movies. The core Monty Python films were all about 90 to 100 minutes long.
There is a film entitled "The Longest, Most Meaningless Film in the World" (2880 minutes, 1970), but it wasn't to my knowledge, monty python. The IMDB entry for that film is most unhelpful.
Sometimes, the "director's cut" of a film is just that-- the director and his editor produce a working copy of the film, which is later cut down or otherwise mangled for marketing reasons. For instance, Bladerunner was graced with a running narration and Caligula was supplemented by hard core sex scenes. In the US, the production team used CGI to mangle Eyes Wide Shut. Other productions, such as "Star Trek: the Motion Picture" , simply ran out of money before all the effects shots could be completed. The producers of LotR decreed that the films should be of a certain length, as movie theater owners appreciate shorter movies. So do movie goers, as certain physiological realities intrude. The home viewer, however, can pause the film, or view the film over the course of two evenings. Often, this limitation on running time forces the director to produce a tauter film, free of undeveloped subplots and extraneous narrative. But it may also lead to a films where the main plot and characters are underdeveloped. The bottom line is that marketers, censors, and accountants are very rarely artists. Sometimes, the director is.
This article is at least somewhat amusing. The author notes that prefatory material, such as the "progress of science and the useful arts" need not limit the scope of constitutional clauses.

It's not a press release. It's a legal motion, issued by SCO's lawyers. Ultimately, the drivel emanating from SCO's PR division is of no consequence, but the actions of SCO's lawyers just might affect our right to publish under the GPL and hack linux.
I still find it vaguely amusing that Microsoft released a product which cannot be properly displayed in the Latin-1 character set, The octothorpe symbol, '#', has slanted vertical strokes. The "sharp" sign has slanted horizontal strokes.
The blue box was fiction. No such work was ever "started at NeXT".
The Blue Box, in fact, existed as part of OSX server. Before Jobs closed off the Rhapsody on Intel product, the Red Box would have let users run Win32 apps, The Blue Box later became the TrueBlueEnvironment, and the Yellow Box became Cocoa.
Oh, and if you read the Apple phrasing, you can see that the warranty voiding only happens if you fuck up...)
Only if you take the warning notice as a legally binding document. If Apple really wants to get out of paying for an unrelated repair, they might just use "self installed memory" as an excuse.
Warning: While you may add or change memory in the SO-DIMM slot, do not attempt to access the factory-only memory slot. Special seals and tooling are required to access and reseal the computer successfully. If the computer is incorrectly resealed, damage to the computer will result and this damage would not be covered under warranty.
The services of an Apple authorized Service Provider or Apple itself is required to install additional memory into the factory-only accessible memory slot. The service and support information that came with your computer provides instructions on locating an Apple Authorized Service Provider or contacting Apple for this service.
If Apple is going to install that premium priced memory in a user-inaccessible location, it may be worth the cost to avoid aggravation later.. If Apple is going to solder that extra memory onto the logic board, it's worth it. If Apple is simply going to place an overpriced DIMM in a user-accessible location, then such service is not, IMHO, worth the premium.
At least one iteration of the iMac G4 (700/800 Mhz) is equipped with both a "logic board slot" and a "user accessible slot". It is possible to upgrade memory in the logic board slot without taking the machine to the dealer, but it will void the warranty.
My dual USB ibook has only one DIMM slot. It also came with 128 Megs soldered onto the logic board.
Even the old 100-series PowerBooks are tough as nails. Nope. They can shatter. Before that little incident, the backlight was acting up--a defect that, unfortunately, has also appeared in the powerbook 1400, as well as the ibook 500.
Some macs are equipped with two DIMM slots, a dealer slot and an user accessible slot. Downgrading the RAM may decrease the maximum memory the computer can hold.

that macs are old and slow, and can't run the latest games.

The Cure For Insomnia (5220 minutes, 1992) is similarly plotless.
Zweite Heimat (1532 minutes, 1992) was shown in theaters, however. I have heard that this was the longest movie with a plot.
I have seen Riget, (1994, 279 minutes) in the theater. It does not suffer for its length.
