Given the comments seen at http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2003/0825scoatta.html , I wonder if IBM, RedHat and Novell have a case against Darl. From what I understand about slander/libel, false allegations that could be construed by reasonable people to be true qualify as possible cause for action.
God, I hope all this ends up raping SCO a new poophole...
Jane, you ignorant slut! You are missing the point of the concept. Yes, hydrodgen is derived from tap water, and ultimately returns to water when burned, but the energy comes from your rooftop solar panels. Duh! It's a simple concept.
PS-I'm buying a solar setup the next time I re-do my roof (within 5 years). I get tax breaks, I save dough, and I get to keep my Beowulf cluster going all day without worry of rolling blackouts...
They FINALLY (heh, a pun!) announced the OS X native version. I used Finale AGES ago. I think it's time to look at it again. Doesn't ship until late October, so maybe time for Xmas (or Festivus).
...just a few months ago. It was going to be a nice Sony VEGA 1080i jobber at 40" diagonal. Except then I realized it wouldn't fit in my pretty-large-already entertainment center. I would have to get a new one. This meant dealing with unhooking everything, unloading all the DVDs, CDs, etc. stored in it, then moving the beast, selling it (or Goodwill), etc. The final clincher was that I decided it wasn't worth it for the crap available on TV. The only thing that keeps me watching is digital cable, and only because IFC, SUND, STARZ and a few others show non-blockbusters (e.g. crap) fairly regularly. Oh, and HBO. Gotta watch Kristin Davis on Sex in the City:)
You should choose based on how you want people to think about you.
The iPod is like the VW Beetle. You will be perceived as the Yuppie scum that listens to ELO, even though you were 3 when they made their last album. Hell, even VeeDub has a "Pods Unite" campaign right now.
The Nomad is like the Nissan Xterra. It's a piece of crap toy masquerading as a useful tool. Oh, and it's bright yellow. Chick car. People will think you have a cell phone jammed up your ass at all times.
Which of these people would you rather put a bullet into? Right. Get the iPod.
Novell's strength is in their understanding (and implementation) of clever architectures such as NDS. Much like the development of clever standarsds such as LDAP and HTTP have resulted a number of profitable products, Novell's continued development of their "good stuff," no matter the platform, will be good for Novell.
can they do anything about the choices of toilet paper available at most federal offices? My rhoids can't take much more of this rough Homeland Security teepee...
Oh, I forgot to mention that Cray stopped using liquid cooling a few years back. I asked about that, too. Always thought the "benches" were cool. Always wanted to sit on one just to tie my boots...
Your point about supercomputer design is well taken. A ton of value in the supercomputer landscape actually comes in the form of operating system and compiler design. They go a long way to make message passing and other sorts of HPC tricks easy and efficient to implement.
A "cluster" is basically geared at performing jobs that are "chunkable," in that there are (usually very many) operations that need to be done, and can be done on distinct "node" with minimal knowledge of other similar operations happening on other node. A perfect example is rendering. One node in the cluster could deal with a certain range of pixels. The same for the next node, and the next. Eventually, when all of the nodes have finished rendering their "chunks," some "glue code" can be used to assemble these chunks into the final product (a complete frame, or series of frames, in the rendering example).
This is equivalent to a bunch of people (CPUs) working in small teams (nodes) to build a pyramid using many similar blocks. Each team knows what they need (a big limestone cube of certain dimensions), can provide this without knowledge of the others, and some teams can be faster than others or even die of the plague. No matter, the pyramid gets built, chunk by chunk.
A traditional supercomputer has a single system image, where all CPUs have access to all memory, and can work with one another on the same operations. Everything works together, synchronously. The equivalent to this is picking up and moving the pyramid.

Everybody knows all the fun is happening at Uranus!
You buy a license to use it.
You can also buy a CD, but that's just the physical medium.
Technically, they should let me download any song for which I purchased a CD for free, but...
I just print out every single email and dump them on my desk!
Lately the pile marked "Your details" has been getting pretty heavy...
Yes, but the Fremen "liberate" theirs from whomever allows them to take their water...
They have to make extra special sure that the RPC features work just as well under 2K/XP before release!
...at cruising for chicks, but there's always the enviable job of spotter control...

I ride a motorcycle, so nyah nyah.

And make sure your "C-rated" fire extinguisher is fully charged.
No, but I've got it playing in iTunes as I type. Bought it on ITMS...
Ciao!
Join your local Habitat for Humanity and sweat a bit! Heck, they'll take you even if you don't have the above listed items.
Nothing makes you forget about tech crap than good, hard labor...

Is what that was supposed to say :)
Stupid Windoze box in the next room made me mess it up.
That's my #1 annoyance. Isn't Linux mature yet? Then why are there so many "supporters" acting like children?
Yes, but $1000 can buy a lot of cheap booze and hookers!
Typical DLP projector bulbs run around $400. And we buy in quantity!

MS Office would still probably suck...
