..a Beowulf cluster of the Best Linux Distribution for Clustering???
OR a Beowulf cluster of/.ers discussing the best Linux distro for a 420 node cluster to generate the worlds largest and most detailed ascii penis bird for use in sigs. Or viewing fake Natalie Portman porn.
I see this as only an attempt to improve their stores tarnished Feng Shui. (incredibly huge markup, just try to afford a 12 pack of American beer and a pack of cigarettes![let alone American mags such as 2600 or High Times{one issue of HT cost me 12 US$}]) The illusion of freedom and low price that having/providing Linux terminals implies should dramatically improve not only their Feng Shui (terminals positioned properly of course) but also their bottom line.
I suppose it wouldnt matter as long as they were running a 420 node beowolf cluster, and using it to superimpose Natalie Portmans head on bad porn. Or posting penis birds and goatsex links on slashdot all day. either way......
Yeah. It's called a pool hall. It usually attracts college students looking for watered down albeit cheap bear, and $2 sluts. Not much parallel processing power there.
parallel processing no, but with $2 sluts and the power of cheap beer you can always get some multi-threaded TAG TEAM action going!!! Ill take a beowulf cluster of drunk women over computers anyday. Unless of course its a cluster of Natalie Portmans. (or a cluster of Katz clones in drag)
Dare I say......
A beowulf cluster of 900 mhz overclocked headphones receiving the words penis bird

I for one, will freely admit that Im more likely to buy something being sold by a hot chick. I like tits, many people do. Their ad is SO obvious in that manner its nice. They know thta they will appeal to the people that like tits and pretty girls. Other people might be offended, but isnt everyone truly sick of catering to every little PC whim of some part of society? If ya dont like a product or its advertising dont buy it. Quit your bitching.
Suppose I used to work for the Evil Empire, saw the light, and became born again in the warm fuzzy glow of free software and open-source. Should/Does this preclude my contributions to an Open Source project? Am I endangering the project by contributing? (one swift lawsuit could quash many a small project that has no backing)
This almost seems like I have to register myself as a lethal weapon, like Im some Kung-Fu master.

Daughter: Take a look at this news archive site. That's us they're talking about.
Son: Is not.
Daughter: Is to. The only reason they had you is so they could save me. Otherwise they never would have had you.
Son: (to father) Dad, is this true?
Father: Well...
And from that day forward, little Johnny had to live with the knowledge that were it not for some quirk of fate, his parents wouldn't have had him.
It's hard to say exactly what the psychological impact of this will be on Johnny, or whatever his name is. I think it's safe to say it won't be positive.
Shut up. How many of us had happy perfect childhoods. I didnt. I dealt with it, self medicated, and survived. Come to find out, i am a "broken condom baby" i.e. a MISTAKE. This has no bearing on how i view myself, or my life. Although as an interesting twist, im sure youll be interested to know that my 4 year-old son was also a "broken condom baby". (A mistake having ANOTHER mistake? Kind of lends credit to the chaos theory huh?) Im sure that I am doing my best as a father. I will make many horrible, psychologically scarring mistakes anyways. Thats some serious tough shit. My son WILL live through them, in fact, it will probably lend him some off-the-wall attitude and humor, in which he will in turn make many mistakes and will still turn out only semi-twisted, yet almost happy. And if he has a mistake, accident or whatever, and the child is sick and theres a chance, he better damn well do whatever it takes to fix it. Even if it means knocking the bitch up AGAIN. People are tough. they will survive, even through some emotional scars.
I've been reading kuro5hin all day. Computer news discussions without the idiotic open source bullshit and Linux freaks.Slashdot looks so damn ugly in comparision.
listen up you evil slashdot defiler!!!!!
Slashdot is my lifeblood - I have little social interaction outside of this forum. This IS my virtual community, and, my only REAL community. I value all posts, relevant or not. I love the trolls. I love the intelligent posts. I love the first posts and the penis birds. Its HUMANITY. The Good, the Bad, the Ugly - all conveniently rolled up and pre-packaged for my consumption. The social equivalent of microwave burritos. So dont fuck with it. Yes, i AM drunk. Nontheless, Slashdot is my own uptopia. The opensource bullshit pushers and linux freaks are my brethren. I will say that kuro5hin is nice possibly even cool. But, its like women, smart perfect ones are nice, but i like the crude mannered but fine bodied and well rounded ones better.
"But he added that the station had ''a strong smell of fungal contamination'' - a smell he called ''mushroomy'' in his book -"
Could these "Space Spores" be psychadelic?
Perhaps this is the reason for Dave's loopy
mellon in the final sequence of 2001.
Incidentally the last part matches up very
nicely with Pink Floyds "Echoes" ; Toss in
some psychadelic space spores and everything
starts to fall into place....or is it melting...
Shit wheres the fucking THORAZINE!? dammit.
What exactly happens to "Astro shit/piss"?
Is it contained and returned to earth or
is it released into space? I mean, Im sure
that my house would get covered with all sorts
of funky fungus if i atomized then sprayed my
excrement and urine all over it.
If im just stupid (common assumption;) where
hell did all the mold come from?
DOH!!!! sorry, i be preview impaired.
Think about creative uses for Force-Feedback joysticks...
dare i say.......

Two questions:
1. Why is a program installing updated windows dll's for any reason? If it needs them, it should let the installer know so he can get them - NEVER MESS WITH MY SYSTEM
2. If it's not installing updated dlls's, why do you need a reboot - isn't everything installed in the program's directory & listed in the configuration file?
1. Badly designed and coded programs exist for every OS, just with a lot more frequency on the windows platform. This is not something Joe consumer takes into account.
2. Quite often the customers are unintentionally going for a Windows uptime record. We all know that windows has problems, bugs, and lots of code thats questionable at best. When a user is adding or removing programs, the OS has been up for 17 days and their resources have leaked out of their computer and into their toaster (due to poor OS code), they will most likely have strange problems. Reboot the fucker and its working again.
When you take your crappy broken down Yugo to the shop for work - your mechanic wont try to redesign the powertrain or come up with a new wiring schematic for the car. Hes not going to get rid of that vile smell the interior has taken on. He aint gonna do a whole lot more than get it running again. Its your stupid ass that bought a shitty car, not his.
No, it doesn't fix the problem. It works around the problem. It causes the present manifestation of the problem to go away, letting the user go back to his or her work, while the problem itself -- the bug which caused the user's grief -- remains unfixed. Thus, the underlying problem is almost guaranteed to plague the user again.
Quite often Ive found that their problem is related to installing one or more programs and trying to use them without rebooting, if the programs updated windows dll's during install, often a reboot is necessary to force the OS to recognize the new code. In addition, support positions quite often put the tech in the position of having to keep call times down or an unrealistic part of managment views them as sub-par techs. In order to keep your job and be eligible for raises/promotions your call times must be kept competitive with the rest of the techs on the floor. The reboot shotgun-style approach quite often fixes (sometimes only temporarily) the issue, appeases the customer, and keeps managment off your back. This is an especially apparent situation in large support contractors (http://www.stream.com) - filled with almost as much middle and upper managment as techs. Managers have to compete with each other on their techs call stats in order to further thier own careers and the pressure is passed on.
Good point.
If that actually happened if would almost force OEMs to provide an OS choice.
(like I would want some pre-configured version anyways, but a step in the right direction)

I Agree.
From now on, I will no longer seek the coveted first post. I am now on a mission for Very Early Posts; A much more attainable goal.
Daughter: Mommy and Daddy love me more than you.

I noticed that disagreeing during meta-moderating seems to be frowned upon, at least karma wise. Fuck Karma.
I post.
Therefore I am.

If i could, id send a cluster of PENIS BIRDS directly to you, and every other random "BEOWOLF CLUSTER" poster. DAMMIT.
