    Well... I was trying to *IMAGINE* a Beowulf cluster....

  2. Sprint Ad: Priceless on Judge Orders White House To Produce Wiretap Memos · · Score: 1

    Well, what the counsel said was "Give the documents to the Feds", but what the floor staff heard was "Rip the documents to shreds".
    Clearly, it was all a case of bad cellular.

    I was assuming each core was i7.

  8. Re:Encryption is good for security, bad for perfor on Resisting the PGP Whole Disk Encryption Craze · · Score: 1

    Yep. I set that up once -- I wound up being the ISSO. I wonder how many of the posters here have even read NISPOM chapter 8?

    We set up a cluster and 3 workstations on a separate network. The network was physically isolated.
    Getting the paperwork completed for the DD-254 was a nightmare.

    It can cause a hit on battery life, too...

    I had a company laptop with whole disk encryption -- required, we had sensitive (unclassified) data on it. The A/V (Symantec Corporate) would hit the disk every 5 seconds, and because it was encrypted, took a bigger hit on the battery. You could hear the CPU fan spin up every 5 seconds or so.

    If you're interested, it was actually the "tamper resistance", where it was checking to see that it was itself intact.
