I do it that way when referring to the cluster rather than the epic poem 'cause that's the way I've seen it (the cluster, not the epic poem). I figure it's probably some copyright/trademark thing, like "Krazy Glue".
The above is not redundant just because it said "beowolf cluster" and should have been moderated as funny or not moderated at all. If you really don't get the joke, e-mail me and I'll explain it to you.
Assuming you weren't just attempting humor and need to learn quite a bit more about how mainframes work, go read this very interesting piece at linuxplanet.com about running virtual machines on mainframes and running other OS's on those virtual machines. It's several pages long but well worth the effort. IBM's mainframe operating systems will stay right there on the mainframes.
Slashdot's worth is better measured by how many of the businesses that advertise on Slashdot get slashdotted, not how many Slashdotters go off to view some other site instead of staying here and viewing the ads on Slashdot.
"...possible cost formula?" Same as always, Supply vs. Demand They have the only one of that particular website, so it all depends on just how badly someone else wants it.
Anyone who sincerely believes that *everyone* has a collection of Brazilian (or any other kind of)child porn is sure to have many more problems than one.
When a radio station changes hands, what's really being bought and sold is something that's in limited supply--a license to broadcast, and the supply is further constrained by its being a license to broadcast in a particular desireable market. If the staion using that particular frquency allocation happens to already be doing well ratings and ad sales wise, that makes it even more attractive, but without the license it's just a pile of used equipment and maybe some land and a building. The license, of course, is not the station's to sell, it's the government's to assign, revoke, or transfer, but it's the surrender of the license by the seller so that the buyer can get it assigned to them that the buyer is really after. Web sites, it would seem to me, aren't dependent on the acquisition of a license, but have value relative to other web sites based on the desireability of the domain name (Ford would probably much rather have ford.com than curtis-mathis.com or steinway.com) and the desireability of the current "audience". In this there is some relevance in a "radio" analogy.
Lets have The Hapsburg Dynasty there. Maybe they can explain how they are not being bullies.
sarcasm=TRUE Maybe The Hapsburg Dynasty could give lessons on how to encrypt well.
sarcasm=FALSE<P>Sarcasm alone does not create relevance. A person of your background should be able to contribute quite a bit to the discussions on Slashdot without mentioning Mattel and it would be refreshing to see you do so a little more often instead of trying to bend everything to fit.

To the tune of "Ghost Riders in the Sky" A bunch of satellites fell down one dark and windy day The radio astronomers all jumped and said "Hooray!" Outdated narrow bandwidth was found to be a flaw They're losing too much money, said a fellow named McCaw Throw them away, can't save them to-day-ay They're Boat Anchors in the Sky Boat Anchors i-n-n-n the sky-y-y
Meaning no insensitivity to your disablement, but isn't trying to tie Mattel into this particular story kind of stretching things? I can see where you'd have grounds to be all over the CyberParol stories, but unless Mattel is one of the sponsors of this Festival, I just don't see the connection.
I'm sure there's a good "What's the difference between sex and sendmail" joke out there waiting to be written, but I don't know enough about sendmail. : )
"...our story choices aren't perfect, but they're hardly made by puppetmaster VA evil geniuses." Perhaps they could do better. Or at least post them while they're still news.:-)
I believe there was also strong consideration given to making Spanish the official language. Of course, the way things are going we may see that happen yet. : )

Oil worthless? Not really. There are so many other uses for petroleum that it's practically a sin to burn it. Which, by the way, is why the U.S. should rely on foreign sources, within reason, so that when they finally give out we still have what's left of our underground and offshore deposits.
What I'm saying is that if they had to stop and go through the whole powder and wadding and ball and tamping everything down process after each shot in order to reload instead of getting to use "bullet hoses", they could have been stopped after the first shots.
Shouldn't you at least have the decency to credit Lewis Carroll, the author of that poem? Yes, I know that Lewis Carroll was his pen name, not his real name.
For a moment there I thought you were going to suggest electing geeks as legislators and I was going to ask how many geeks know more than a fraction about all the other 90 million things legislative bodies have to deal with.

Maybe they wanted to hurt Netscape really bad to make it cheaper to buy later on.

Moderate the above up as the most hilarious thing seen around here in a long time.

Actually he is, you just aren't in on the joke.

Someone please actually read the above and change the moderation to "funny".
Feel free to keep moderating down all the "grits" posts, though.
