Is that a Recreational Vehicle where people of differing cultures, nationalities, and backgrounds meet and discuss nothing in an effort to achieve minor enlightenment?
It's interesting that this shows up now with the ads for the "Oracle Grid" running on TV. It's a cluster. Big freaking deal. My favorite part is near the end where it says about the mainframe "When a mainframe dies, the server dies." The only problem there is that MAINFRAMES DON'T DIE! Everything is redundant, ECC'd, hot-swappable, etc.
I've never worked on mainframes, but I've worked on AS/400s. We were able to kill one, but it was because of a mislabeled patch tape from IBM.

Unfortunately, CHAOS isn't one of them. There was an article on CHAOS in Linux Magazine in 1996-97 somewhere. It stood for CHeap Array of Obsolete Systems. The author put together a set of 386, 486, and Pentium boxes that he bought bundled on a pallet. I think he used slackware and beowulf, but in the end, it actually had some pretty significant computing power. The computational power/Kwatt hour ratio wasn't very good though. I wonder if he ever had to run his furnace in the winter?
I've got the Cheap and Obsolete part of his setup already, but not setup in an array.
Let's take one of the most useful pieces of the internet and make it completely useless! I for one hope that they spin it back off into dejanews. First they took out the ability to set it up like a web-based newsreader, specify the groups that your interested in and it tracks what you've read and what you haven't. Now they get rid of the last good features that it had and give it a totally counter-intuitive interface.
I still can't find a way to just go to a specific group directly.
I never understood why Voltron didn't just stay together and carry the blazing sword around all the time. There's probably some comittee somewhere that determines when the different steps are possible.

If each human being has their own IP, then we would need to pack a whole bunch of planets to require more than that!
I'm trying to find the link, but I read an article a couple of years ago that showed that with IPv6, every atom (may have been subatomic particle) in the known universe could have it's own address and we still wouldn't be anywhere near running out of addresses.
Sure. Next you'll tell me that the plural of box isn't boxen. It has to be. English is a totally consistent language and the plural of VAX is VAXen.
It is well known that the pluralizing of nouns in english is well defined:
ouse -> ice. eg. house -> hice. ata -> atabase. eg. data -> database. ink -> egnancy. eg. drink -> pregnancy.
That one is a little tricky because it requires a change in the base word.
outer -> 0,000 cisco router -> $450,000
See previous example.
28 gauge, then 20 gauge, followed by 16 gauge, then 12 gauge, and finally 10 gauge. 8 gauge would be next, but anything larger than a 10 gauge is illegal in my state.

Thank you. I'll be here all week. Try the eggplant.
so, if there are 86400 hours a year
There aren't 86400 hours in a year, at least not on this planet. There are 8760 hours in a year. (other than leap year)
There are 86400 seconds in a day.

At least that's what I got from the headline.

no, but it comes with the radiator from a 1971 Chrysler New Yorker to assist with cooling.
Or someone happened to hit the Big Red Button and shut powe off to the data center to prevent slashdotting.

Not a dang thing.

However, we'll put it in such sweet-coated words hoping that the idiots over at Utah get what we mean before we haul their asses to court.
um. last time I checked, Novell was in utah also. Unless they made some move since I drove past their building this this morning.
Looking at the way it's worded, I thought it was something about a new game called

Do you have to go do a confession in a theater to become innocent again?

ok, a few more words. Are they going to do redundant rendering and compare the result to make sure that someone isn't "improving" any of the frames?
just a thought.
