These new drivers rock too. My frame rates are phenominal and my dell laptop finally works. Its been a long wait especially when you're being forced to run linux instead of the OS you really want to run.
B.S. to me. I don't know about any of you, but it sounds like someone has been working on a nice fiction article. Perhaps the seriousness was lost in translation or the writer replaced terms with stuff we would find more recognizable, but this sounds very fabricated. I can't honestly take it seriously.
I think it's due, in large part, to the fact that, despite what anyone says to the contrary, men really don't care what you are saying. The two sexes operate on different wavelengths. The truth is, women rarely discuss anything that your average man is even remotely interested in. Just like most women don't want to hear about the big game or how your day sitting behind a computer went, men don't want to hear the often inane, overdrawn, and overdramatized details that women tend to put out on the table.
Its really all about sex and how much a man and a woman can stand to sleep in the same bed with each other afterward. I don't know who started the whole "committed relationship" thing, but it was a Bad Idea (TM).

Yeah, I guess i should have googled before i made an assertion like that;) I went on what I've heard and the name Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology. That doesn't really "scream" 64bit architecture to me... That and the fact that a whole bunch of apps (knoppix for one) have not been able to pick up on the fact that its x86_64 compat... Maybe its been fixed?
BTW, What the fuck is up with slashcode lately? It renders like shit in firefox 9.2...
When we purchased ours, we had two nodes that had bad power supplies within the first two months... Replacements arrived within 2 days. The cluster withstood a sever AC outage, where the Ambient Temperature rocketed to 105 degrees and failsafes had not yet been implemented. We've had no further problems with the system since the initial hicup, with a consistent load (added up) of 105.0 and an uptime of 104 days for every node.
How you could allow your cluster to run at half capacity is beyond me. You would have had to let that go for quite some time (unless you've a two node cluster)
Legato's Networker Backup is a multi platform, Enterprise level backup solution. It will back up to tape and to disk archives. We use it on all of our production level systems. You should be able to grab a copy from here.. I'm not sure if it's "free" or not since our Purchasing dept. deals with software acquisition but i've not had any problems downloading copies of it.
If you don't care about enterprise features (and if it turns out you have to purchase it and don't want to), use cygwin/rsync like everyone else says.
Why don't you go to their site and look at their offered majors and graduate research before asking such questions. They are much more than just aviation.
I run a 48 Node Microway beowulf and I must say that it is the most stable system available. Everything came assembled and ready to go (of course, I built the enclosure and did the networking, but they will do that for you if you'd like). If you're not very knowledgeable about beowulfs, how do you know you'll need so much power? Do you know how well the software you will be using will scale? Is it close to embarassingly parallel or does it lose efficiency over X nuber of nodes? What type of resources and consumption does the program use? Is it extremely processor hungry, or does it deal with dense matrices and require low-memory latency and high bandwidth or both? Do you know if you will need the power of Myranet or will you be able to get by on GigE?
These are important questions you must ask your researchers and yourself before you purchase this cluster. But, to answer your question, I believe Microway is the best choice and I plan on having them build our next cluster in the next fiscal year.

Of course not. Like many other companies that sell PCs, you will be instantly cut off from support the second the package arrives at your door. And at 1500 dollars??? You'd be lucky if you could actually find a phone number to call at a reasonable price! /* end sarcasm block */
That's kind of a lame question since most people _buying_ these laptops will already have a reason to run linux and will likely already know how to use it e.g. they wont need to be spoon fed. If they aren't power users and something goes wrong, I'm sure the business users will have some support contract with HP and I'm sure HP will provide support to any Joe that decides to buy it. When's the last time you bought a brand new laptop from a company, left it as is, called for support and they told you "we don't support that"?
From what the F.A.Q. was saying, it sounded like they rewrote a better windows kernel, which, judging by the outfit, is complete and utter bullshit. Those guys are playing entry-level power-user lingo to attract idiot "i-can-open-cmd.exe" users. 88 bit? Um, no. I don't think so.

Ah-well, I gess im jes dum den. cant even speel typo. how da hell did i evin git da rest of da gatdam post cerrect? hehe
At least your critique of my spelling was amusing.
Yes, I'm an illiterate fucking moron. Shoot me now, please. I deserve to die for my stupidity, with the rest of the world. Stupid troll.
Fucking sorry... sheesh. Get a life.
Worked for me. Getting better frame rates on BSD than on linux.

EM64T is not x86_64 or 64bit extensions. It is an on-chip hack to allow it to address more than 4Gigs of memory.
Have you bothered to CALL them?

Posting AC for obvious reasons.
Probably trolling.
What makes you think it wasn't just a blind typo? And don't give me any shit on how 'a' in on the opposite end of the keyboard from 'i'.
