It is a cluster of PCs. Really folks you can buy Infinityband off NewEgg and build your own HPC cluster. It is one of those scary but oh so cool facts that just about anybody can build some massive computing power with off the self parts and Linux. The formula is pretty easy. Buy X Xeon or Opteron motherboards and CPUs. Buy enough RAM to fill all the slots. Build a SAN "Solaris with ZFS is a good choice" Buy some infinityband cards and switches. Buy some Gig-e switches for the SAN. Buy some Tesla cards or even just nVidia video cards. Rack them. Install Linux on the cluster nodes. You now have a super computer. Now the hard part is to write software that uses it but even that is well documented and just takes talented, educated people. No it will not be at the top of the list and it will not be as good as what you can buy from Cray or IBM but it will be good enough for a lot of things.
But the good news is that it looks like it will be easy to hack. I am pretty sure that the monitor they showed was running Vista or maybe Windows 7.
If if if. No I do not think Assange would go to Gitmo. Wow the fear levels are just so out of control at times that it gets to the point of being silly.
And that is why there will be a trial. Really if a woman accused you of rape do you not think that you would be arrested and investigated? Do you not think that if you left the country you would have a warrant issued for your arrest? If Assange was Glen Beck would you say the same thing?
Funny but I am pretty sure that the people have eyes and can see that their leaders are not hungry and are wearing nice cloths and riding around in limos. And right now it looks like Facebook and Twitter are doing more to liberate those nations than Wikileaks. Actually Wikileaks seems to be trying to be relevant by publishing cables about each nation "AFTER" protests start. And here is the question that no one will like. If Wikileaks is responsible for the protests what are they going to take credit for the body count in Libya? I really fear that we will see numbers that will make strong men cry from that mad man. I think that is just bull. The change in the middle east is happening because of economic reason combined with a new level of world wide communications. People do not live in ignorance of what is going on much any more. In other words thank the internet, cell phones, Facebook, Twitter, and CNN and the BBC.
Oh and for the record I really do not like a lot of Obama's policies and do not thing he has been a good president but I do believe he is doing the right things by not saying a lot about Libya. The US has been made a boogie man in a lot of places for many years. I think he is showing good judgement by not trying to gain political traction at home by giving useless and possible harmful speechs. So from a none fan, good job Mr. President.
Funny but I never thought of Sweden as a US lapdog. You really do not see why it is being handled in such a public way? Really? Please Assange loves the spot light. He has a bit of a cult of personality that believes he is their infallible savor. You will even find people saying that even if he is guilty his work is more important that if he is guilty of rape. He ran away from Sweden and he is fought extradition is a very public way. And you do not understand why this is so public? As to political pressure I am sure that there is a lot going both ways. Frankly you are exerting political pressure on your own legal system because you do not seem to want him tried. That is the way politics works. I am not sure that there is any political pressure from the US to force this except for a lot of big grins. You probably have a good bit from within your own nation to go after him. I am sure that there is a segment of the country that doesn't like the idea of a big mouth foreigner breaking your laws and then leaving. There is probably even some that do not like him saying that the US is forcing them to do it.
So those women are guilty until proven innocent? Assange is innocent until proven guilty at least under US law but this seems like mindless hero worship at this point.
Why do I imagine people wearing this shirt and then going through the airport and acting like an ass. Then when they get searched they will say it is because of they support wikileaks.
Funny but a lot of Mexicans I know like to point out that they are Americans because Mexico is part of North America. As a US citizen a actually tired to stop using American when I was referring to my nationality out of respect for Mexico and Canada and all the rest of the nations of North and South America. Interesting the differences in perception. BTW Canada is a great nation and I am glad we share a boarder with you guys. I have been to Windsor on business and went to Victoria for my honeymoon. I hope you do not take offense to this but it was great because everyone was so friendly I felt like was right at home. Frankly I felt more at home there than I did in Detroit, LA, or New York City.
Yes Microsoft has come out with some good products like the XBox and the flight sim series. I will even give Office it's due except that it has created a virtual monopoly but Excel is actually really good Access is just Evil. Powerpoint is tool of unlimited evil and boredom and Word is well Word.. That and the document formats are terrible. IE, Outlook, Visual Basic, and MFC all should be considered crimes IMHO.
WP7 the first real phone OS? Really? What about Windows Mobile? What about WIndows Mobile 6.5 that Microsoft is still selling? I am not going to give Microsoft any slack for WP7. It right now is a non-completive product in my opinion. First of all let me say one thing. announced features are not real. If it isn't shipping it doesn't count. WP7 does not have multitasking or even task switching like WebOS, IOS, and Android. WP7 does not have free turn by turn navigation like Android. The mobile browser on it is not as good as IOS, Android, or even WebOS and Symbian's. It lacks the Enterpise management features of BlackBerry OS and even IOS. I do not know what is in the new update so I will say that at launch it also didn't have even cut and paste and custom ring tones. Microsoft has had four years to answer the iPhone and three to answer Android and this is what they came up with? Really the largest software company in the world and this is all they came up with. Let us not forget that they bought and destroyed Danger as well. Microsoft entered the smartphone market back when it was only Palm and Symbian. They sat and didn't innovate and now they have not even caught up. Throw in the disaster that was the Kin as well and I must ask why give them any slack? I don't get it. If say Sony or Nokia had come up with this OS at this time people would be laughing in their face. If I was a on the Microsoft Board I would outraged at the current state of affairs. Considering the time and resources that they had to work with they should have come up with a phone OS that would be an world beater and frankly it is an also ran with a pretty face. I will say the UI isn't bad and was very fast when I used it. But the OS is feature incomplete.
Yea it isn't like Microsoft has been producing Phone OSs for the last ten plus years! I mean they are new to this market... Oh..... Wait Windows phone 7... Humm....
Actually only the Nexus S has 2.3 and almost no software is written for 2.3. The current majority of Android devices have 2.1 But yes Samsung is a pain when it comes to updates plus they Skin it which sucks. Of course WP7 still can not multitask yet and is this update finally adding in cut and paste and Custom ring tones? Kind of hard to brag about an update that brings WP7 up to the standards of 2008.
Probably but I was more making a joke about him being LDS which culturally try to avoid profanity. But I would guess you are right. No one wants to think about someone using profanity about their work.
No they are not. I have no idea what you are talking about their search is getting useless! When I read a news story first thing I do when I see something I have questions on is Google it. For example when they said that the Aircraft that defected from Libia had fully loaded machine guns I was pretty sure that the Mirage F1 didn't have any machine guns but did have cannons. I googled Mirage F1 and found the specs. Yes it does have 30 mm cannons. BTW thank goodness those pilots did defect and not attack the protesters.
Then some guys at where where talking about how slow their home computers where so I google Cray 1 and sent them a link along with a link I got when I googled Cray FPGA about a guy that made a CRAY on a FPGA.
What searches are you doing that is hitting link farms. I keep hearing about them but I rarely hit them. Can you give some sample searchs that fail because I almost never have a search bring up a link farm.
Not really. I do not think that the iPad sucks just that it isn't perfect. As I said the task switching isn't a terrible solution and a huge improvement over when the iPad was launched with out it. Thing is that when a product is launched like the iPad I must ask myself what would make it better. It is just my nature. Everything can be improved. I noticed that no one commented on my other complants about it. The simple truth is that the iPad so good IMHO it is getting very close to being the ideal solution for a lot of people instead of a PC. But in some ways it is really lacking and way to limited IMHO. And of course I would love it if Apple made it easy for people to add extra hardware to the iPad/iPodTouch/Iphone. Frankly the iPhone with the gyros, HD camera, GPS, WiFi, and Cellular connection would make a cool drone controller but that is just an odd use case that would be unfair to blame Apple for. Yes I do understand it is a consumer device but It isn't perfect.
It is nothing to do about being popular sucking it is all about quality. I use HEXED Linux. You have total control because you had configure everything in HEX so you have total control. Every real Linux users uses it so it is very popular within that group of people that know what they are doing. It is like everything else. If a common person can understand and us it then it must be dumbed down so it must suck. If you know what you are doing like me then everything is easy so way deal with dumbed down software! I am thinking about trying BINARYBUILD LINUX as soon as I finish building my front panal so I can toggle it in!
Not really. Google seems to work closely with HTC, Motorola, and Samsung. HTC made the G1, and the Nexus. Samsung makes the Nexus S. Motorola makes the Xoom tablet plus Google really did work with them on the Droid. I thing they also worked hard with Sony since 2.3 has support for game controllers for the Playstation phone. The lag isn't being caused by Google not working with them. The lag is being caused by Sense, Touch Wiz, and MotoBlur. I forget what Sony calls their skin of Android. Combine that with the Carriers not wanting people to keep their phones so they really want to force upgrades and you have the lag and the lack of updates.
I wish that HTC, Samsung, Motorola, and Sony all offered "Stock android" as an option. But so far HTC seems to be doing pretty good with updates. My Evo is running 2.2 and is supposed to get 2.3 in March. Sense is actually pretty nice to use and since the only Phone right now with 2.3 is the Nexus S I am not too far behind the curve at all. Samsung IMHO has the worst record of updates of the big 3. I had a Moment and it was stuck at 2.1 but lacked some of the features from 2.1 like live wallpaper and the new launcher. and has a lot or software flaws that where never addressed except by the "enthusiast" community. AKA if you rooted it the freaking thing worked a lot better. The Moment replacement the Intercept came out with EVDO but not Rev A. Which sucked. The Galaxy S phones in the US like the Epic are all stuck at 2.1 as well. BTW I used to be a big Samsung fan but they have really let me down. Motorola seems to do a bit better except for Click owners who they really failed. I am pretty sure that the original Droid is at 2.2 now.
Okay I find your complaints about the Ipad odd at bast. No gyro or rear facing camera? I don't get it. I would find taking pictures with the iPad to be cumbersome at best so why would I want a rear facing camera. Gyros maybe but really but I do not know that motion gaming with the ipad will be all that practical because of the size. To me you are really missing a lot of the really big missing features. 1. No multitasking. The new fast task switching is at the same level as switcher for Mac OS was way back when. It is a fast improvement but not really multitasking. 2. Lack of removable mass storage. I have to buy a silly adapter to read SD cards? Having a built in SD card reader where I can put in an SD card loaded with pictures, music, PDF, and or any other type of data file would make the device a lot more usable. 3. Lack of GPS and compass on the WiFi Only devices "Same for the iPod touch" a network connection is not a requirement of GPS navigation. Even as a replacement for a hand held GPS for hiking it would be nice. 4. No front facing camera. Yea using an IPad as a camera is dumb or at the very lest going to be awkward. Using it for Face Time and or Skype seems like a no brainier. I agree that the iPad is lacking I wouldn't say half baked since I reserve that for WP7 devices but I do not agree on the flaws.
I would not say Samsung is pretty good. The Moment has several software issues that have never been resolved by Samsung but can be fixed by rooting and updating to "enthusiast" builds. I was so soured on my Moment that when I could I updated to the HTC Evo. While I wished it have a stock build it is a very nice device and is running 2.2. 2.3 is supposed to come in March but until I see it I don't believe it.
You are kidding right? Smart Phones have had a YouTube app for years and now YouTube has an HTML 5 mode that supports h.264 or at least did and they are adding WebM support. So the answer is a simple no it isn't.
Yes you can but the point I was trying to make is that this isn't about piracy it is about ownership. There is nothing wrong with me wanting to use a device I own in a way that the manufactures didn't intend it to be used. If I want to convert a Wok into a WiFi Dish antenna or use a brick as a doorstop. If I want to write and run my own code on the PS3 "Which I could at one time BTW" Then that is my right. I own the device. If I want tell others what I have learned that is also my right.
Yea this was almost as bad as a lot of stuff on wired. The simple solution is to start producing tritium again. It really isn't even that hard to do. 1. Build some heavy water reactors like the CANDU. 2. collect the the H3. 3. Wait. 4. Profit. Actually the US needs to restart tritium production anyway to keep our nuclear weapons functioning as along as we are going to keep them. As too keeping them or not being a good idea others can debate that to their hearts content. Also HE3 is only used for a few very rare type of MRIs. While important the fast majority of MRIs do not use any HE3 at all. And to the nutters that want to compare it to "peak oil" we actually know how to make HE3 and all of the HE3 that we where using came from industrial processes. This is more like the problem of "peak" 57 Chevy bodywork. All it will take is for people to want it bad enough for production to restart.
Even better repeat after me. When I buy something I own it. If I want to put home brew on a console I own then I will put home brew on my console. I am not even one of the folks on here that believe piracy is okay. But what I buy I own and while I can live with the idea that I can not copy it and sell it. "I am not allowed to copy a car and sell that" but do not say I can not take it apart and learn from it and share what I learn!
"Some of the Dictators like Ghadafi might get more aggressive but the majority are going to have issues doing it because it will crimp their own lifestyles and impact their families." More than getting kicked out of power? As I said some will get over thrown but some will become far more brutal. I fear that a lot more will become far more brutal. http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2011/02/201121714223324820.html for example

It is a cluster of PCs. Really folks you can buy Infinityband off NewEgg and build your own HPC cluster. It is one of those scary but oh so cool facts that just about anybody can build some massive computing power with off the self parts and Linux. The formula is pretty easy.
Buy X Xeon or Opteron motherboards and CPUs.
Buy enough RAM to fill all the slots.
Build a SAN "Solaris with ZFS is a good choice"
Buy some infinityband cards and switches.
Buy some Gig-e switches for the SAN.
Buy some Tesla cards or even just nVidia video cards.
Rack them.
Install Linux on the cluster nodes.
You now have a super computer. Now the hard part is to write software that uses it but even that is well documented and just takes talented, educated people.
