It's used by the same people that use the supercomputer centers now....scientists. A lot of it's for cosmology and weather stuff.
And yes, some of the sites (maybe all of them), use Linux clusters. Not b* though.
If someone based their decision on a side by side comparision of what all the cards, looked at the Quake3 benchmark, and used that info as part of the reason they picked the ATI card, they'll be pretty damn upset.
There's a Wall Street Journal article about it too.
I'd have to say, I'm a bit suspicious about this too. The http://www.lindows.com/ website seems pretty bare.
What he should have done is call security, had your name taken, your bag searched, and you thrown out of the library, never to return. I hope he was instructed by his bosses to do just that.
Oh and one more thing...they'll probably be a lot of people saying "they have no right to do this"...
If they institute a new policy and give fair warning they're going to do it, they have every right to do so...it's there business, not yours.
I don't like getting searched anymore than the next guy. It's a pain the ass. If you don't like it, do what I did...quit and work for someone else.
Many places do this already. The place you're working for is protecting themselves from some wacko carrying things in and out of work. And actually, more places should do it...it's surprising the number of things that get taken by people when they leave or are pissed off.
If you're uncomfortable with it, tell management. If that doesn't do anything, quit.
That statement from Bush was almost immediately after the hits on the towers, and came after he was visiting school children in Florida. He gave a statement, and then headed for Air Force on, to go to Washington.
In my experience, they don't care about quality. They just want to get it out the door. Any time I've ever brought quality up, they've said "we'll do it the next rev" (Yeah right).
It could be worse...they might get a consultant to try and impose "quality" or "six sigma" or some other BS. That's all happy flap for managers to feel better, and to feel like they're doing something to improve quality in products. The deadlines never change...or if they do, they get shorter.
At least he graduated from college. Algore didn't even do that! Oh, you say he did? Show me the web page of the university that has that listed. Have fun finding it.
Great! Then you can personally thank him for dropping the part of the case that the COURTS (not his administration) said they were letting drop. Instead he's doing the following:
'Even as the agency removed those issues from consideration, however, it opened the door for others, saying it wants the court "to investigate developments in the industry since the trial concluded"--which could include the forthcoming Windows XP operating system. '
(From CNET.
That's better than beating a dead issue anyway...if they pull this off, it's better for computer companies AND third parties. A split Microsoft would have just worked together anyway.
It's great to fly off the handle about what you THINK is going on....Why don't you read the stories to find out what they're REALLY doing?
This is from CNN:
"Instead, it said it wants to investigate developments in the industry since the trial concluded and evaluate whether additional conduct-related provisions are necessary, especially in the absence of a breakup."

Screw doing it with three-bits. Use colors for each bit instead.

Get off it, come up with a better solution (doing NOTHING is NOT a better solution), or sit down and shut up.
Uh...HELLO? One of the objects of war is to NOT get your own people killed!

Kinda like those missles Clinton launched to divert attention to his problems, eh?
