  1. Re:Yes, sure. on Sixteen Years Later: GNU Still Needs An Extension Language · · Score: 3, Informative

    Emacs is a great development environment. It just lacks a good text editor.

  2. Re:not so impressive... on Student and Professor Build Budget Supercomputer · · Score: 1
    http://littlefe.net/, mentioned in the article, was the motivation for the Microwulf. LittleFeAR (http://www.littlefe.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_ Page#LittleFeAR:_LittleFe_--_Advanced_Resources) has only three motherboards. But they're dual socket boards with 3.2GHz Dual-core Xeon's...12 cores total LittleFeAR use Infiniband/OpenFabrics with Mellanox Cards, so it uses a high-speed interconnect.

    In other words, cost is the issue with microwulf, but other small-but-powerful clusters are also in development

  3. Buy it for the iPod support, not mileage: on Hybrid Cars Don't Live Up to Mileage Claims · · Score: 1
    From the blog:
    (Oh, one more thing. My time consuming visit to the dealership wasn't a complete loss. The general manager was at least able to provide some guidance on how to hook up my trusty iPod to my Civic.)
    Now that's a General Manager!
  4. Re:ultimate silence on A Silent PC Solution? · · Score: 1

    I put my workstations in the server closet and ssh -X to them.

  5. BCCD is missing, the Bootable Cluster CD on Giant List Of Linux-based Live CDs · · Score: 1

    Albeit a bit late in the thread, the Bootable Cluster CD has been an active project for about two years. It is based off of the LNX-BBC (where I'm a developer), but is an independent project supporting OpenMosix, MPICH, LAM, PVM, and all of the necessary scripts and debuggers to tie together a drop-in clustering solution. It's mainly aimed at Educational institutions with lots of Windows labs, but no dedicated clustering resources.

  6. Re:Here's the angle I would take... on Belkin Routers Route Users to Censorware Ad · · Score: 1

    New Belkin models on sale now, at fine retailers everywhere

    and see nothing wrong.

    signature replaced by Belkin, because we know where you wanted to go today.

  7. Re:That's nothing on PHBs Getting "Secret" IT Training · · Score: 1

    It's a Dilbert reference (redundantly redundant reference.com reference, eh?)

  8. Additional info/links on the testing info... on Bootable Business Card Distro Needs Testing · · Score: 1
    are here and here.

    "Imagine a cluster of these?" you say?

    That's what I'm doing here.

  9. Re:Debian is rock solid but the install ... on Two Reviews of Debian 3.0 · · Score: 1
    Of course Debian's installation isn't as refined as the up-and-running system.

    That's only because it's so stable and simple to do live upgrades that the Debian developers hardly spend any time in that portion of the subsystem!

  10. Re:Exploiting Different Standards? on News.com Links to DeCSS Program · · Score: 1
    Could it be that news.com is simply pointing out the obvious double standard given to "hacker" sites like 2600.com and "reputable news sites" like news.com?

    I think that you mean:

    Did'ja catch this little gem?
    The (MVP) title is highly regarded, said Thomas Lee, a Windows 2000 MVP who specializes in directory issues, and has just been appointed as chief technologist at QA Training. "You are recognized by your peers, not by an exam that you can cheat in."
    Sure makes ya respect those pricey pieces of paper.
