Isn't this part of what Google is about? Getting the young fresh minds? Once you've got experience, you have a set way of doing things. You're out of the "innovation" mode. Maybe they're counting on making millions from fresh young ideas, pay them off, and get more new fresh ideas. Google holds innovation and being at the forefront in high regard. You have to pay a high price for this, and maybe it's multi-million dollar project bonuses.
I mean that's a full terabyte almost every minute and a half. What has so much data?
Internet 2 as well as the Engineering Science Network are being setup to move massive amounts of data from science labs to computational labs within the US Department of Energy.
Labs like Fermilab are expecting to produce hundreds of terabytes per day of data from research when they come online.
RTFA. They state in the article that the AP's are not connected to the University network, but to "Comcast Cable Modems or to SBC DSL".
Which law superceeds here? The university policy or the federal government? I would have to say the FCC because there's a little clause in the constitution that says that the federal laws supersede all state laws.
but I am curious if those who have worked on actual clusters could expand on the most common causes of failure...
As a research assistant that helps maintain a cluster, the most frequent problems in out Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) clusters are power supplies. We have at least one die each week. Hard drives are a close second.
