Go to http://feynmanonline.com/ for videos of the master educating on QED with the use of only one mathematical formula. Hard to do hand waving in a book though I guess.
Why not move to Sun, you can use their linux distro and when you need it to scale you can move to Solaris, which is so sensibly priced it;'s not funny.
proximity to home is not a requirement, I'm from Kenilworth ( Coventry ) area, and I moved as far away from home as I could:-), without going abroad. That was then I now live in portland Oregon USA. One last thing, bright people travel well. Ones unusual abilities stick out more in other countries and make it easier to succeed!
I schooled in Malvern - on the border of Wales. Then Newcastle Poly, Then Newcastle Uni, Then work:-(. Newcastle great city BTW. They know how to have fun, assuming you have no use for a liver in the future.
Edinburgh a great city, lives there for your years, and had a great time as well.
It's safe to say that education system is not set up for people like you and me. Watch out for, "this is the way to do things" type statements. Bad sign especially from a lecturer who won;t engage your line of questioning. Normally cos they're not as bright as you are! Anyway, enjoy it and don;t become obsessed with it, it doesn;t help. As Nike says just do it.
I know what you mean, and the ones who tell you to get over yourself are just jealous. I am surprised that you chose Slashdot as a place to go with this question, but hey they're an diverse (?) bunch so what the hell, there are far better places to go check in with your ego though. Try not to make too big a deal about it and get on with life and you'll have fun at whatever you do and be really good at it wihtout blinking. This normally comes with good remuneration too, but as the other guy said that ain't the bee all and end all. Someone once told me I ran on duracell, so I think I know what you mean about endless powers on cencentration. Save your brains for things that are worthwhile though the rest just clogs up your spare capacity. Oh by the way it's called being a polymath, but they generally have PhD's in four subjects to back it up. I say phooey. I left my PhD after four years cos I was broke, published two papers nevertheless and invented a new algorithm or two along the way. Best decision I ever made! I paid off my debts in 6 months cos I applied my brain to the problem. Now I have a family, so am in debt again but as I said money ain't everything. The best kicks are the natural highs which is why magic mushrooms and peyote are so much better than acid or E.
Enjoy it while it lasts, you never know it could run out.
The Java enterprise systems is the stack fo software from Solaris all the way up through Sun ONE to the user app for the back end server and nothing to with the JDS (MadH). So the confusion has started already! Damn and I work for Sun!
Just cos its lin ux doesn't make it secure, its possible to leave nay unix system horribly exposed with bad practices. The main difference is that in Unix you can close the hole in windows you don't even know its there, until MS releases a patch.
- You can take advantage of the regulatory system apready in place so the newly activated cells don't turn into a tumor or worse.
Whats worse than a tumor cell?
Perhaps what really required is a web server that queues requests, especially for low bandwidth sites to a maximum of so many per hour, or something like that. The request itself is trivial to handle and throw away if some resource limit has been reached. I think a feature for apache is in the offing.
Corporations who want to remove the costly pc from desktops of their users would - in the future - when they become tired of the insecurity of MS products. Granted the apps are mature but they ain't secure.
Its a server side application in C actually that manages the session and you get the power of the backend server for your desktop! If you have a 64 way E10K, then the user sees a 64way E10K. The session is delivered as graphics packets over ethernet, so the only computer inside the sunray is a graphics card!
The sunray has been around for several years. Its a flat panel, with smart card reader, move your badge to a new terminal your session goes with you. Walk from one conf room to another and your sessions goes with you!
I don't get any spam, either on my work account or my att account, so whats all the fuss about. Don't give out your email to people sites that you don't trust. I have a yahoo account that i use for websites etc, that is simply there to collect spam. Yahoo even coureously deletes the spam for me after 7 days!
Mmmm. I find slashdot useful for the headlines but often find some of the technical content in the replies a little lacking, it seems too many fokls like the buzzwords of the computing world failing to know what they really mean! Its all about cool and not about useful:-(
Its all about the distinction between shared and distributed memory architectures. Different applications benefit from different types of parralelism which the above architectures provide. If to solve the problem independent chunks of code can be run that require no communication at run time then clearly a blade type solution (distrbiuted memory) is viable, but if the calculations are co dependent on each other and require communication of interrim results then the overhead of communication can quickly become the critical path and shared memory parallelism becomes a better solution.
It also depends on the level of parralelilsm built into the implementation of the algorithms inside pixars redering program itself.
If you're going to find a niche in market like this its got to be disrutive. And this is definitely disruptive.
On the Eco front, think of how much less plastic that won't end up in a landfill!
This scores on two fronts, as well as being, well, pretty damn cool! I'd love to be one of the first people using one of these on the train to work.
Peer review is not a guarantee of quality, since humans make mistakes and plenty of good research is often rejected by 'peers' who don't like the point of view as it may interfere with their own plans for domination of a field. As always it pays to be skeptical but openminded at the same time.

I don't have any thumbs.
They use the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chewbacca_defence chewbacca defence this does not make sense.
Isn't this also the company whose CTO said that email wasn't a big deal?
My grandfather once built a gradfather clock out of meccano that only lost about 15 seconds a day and it was entirely mechanical, I was so impressed.

This link from back in May purports the same news, not sure why its so delayed.

This is more interesting than watching paint dry actually! I am waiting for the the paint to dry in my kitchen and i'm reading this instead :-)
