HP engineers have figured out how to cluster all the remaining TouchPads and are now using them to mine bitcoins. I think those of us who have them on order won't get them anytime soon.
ok, I can either go all 'citation needed' on you, but let me throw in my own assumption: If you're dressed like a communist party official, yeah, they'll tell you they are Chinese...but they let everybody else know they are Taiwanese.
While all this talk about clustering and infiniband is making me all giddy, I think we are overlooking an obvious scenario. This isn't and can't be the actual person who is the sole lead engineer for this project. He's probably one of those (semi) technical writer types who wants to understand more about how all this stuff works under the hood so he can actually talk to the people who are planning and implementing it, or at least have something to break the ice. Maybe the people building this out are women. Extraordinary women. Can't blame him, I would too. "Ohhh..." he says as we walks by the voluptuous engineers, "I see you are wiring it up with 10GbE. The CPU's must be too slow for Infiniband.", he chuckles. An engineer turns to him, and in a sultry, yet raspy voice, responds "Maybe you can help give us get some extra bandwidth?" as she stares with her full pouty lips.
Or something like that.

None of that for Shatner though...he's as gay as the day is long. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
yeah, because all the hotties flock to those conventions. I'm talkin' nerd groupies.
they *would*, but I patented hoeing.
I don't know if 'prospering' is getting laid by a nerd groupie insisting that he 'put the ears on'. I'd quit too.
...and he's still the only one that gets laid at those things.
that would be a fun party, until some drunk idiot tries to add protons to the shots of Jager

I would request that the author change the subject of TFS to "Mining bitcoins down under"

CLIMAX FAIL.
