Sadly, as an admin you often have to reach for the MegaLART to solve problems...attempting to reason with the userbase is often futile and always frustrating.
Sir Humphrey: "Well, we can always try to persuade them [the BBC] to withdraw programs voluntarily, once they realize that transmission is not in the public interest."
Jim Hacker: "Well, it is not in my interest. And I represent the public, so it is not in the public interest."

Nope...we sure didn't, d.net wasn't the only thing we toyed with. We played with povray and such, but we mainly just wanted to watch the process migration, d.net offered the bonus of helping out a worthy project oncd we got bored playing with the cluster and were just going to let it run.
After all, once we cabled and powered that number of boxes, really should use them for something semi-productive, no?
We toyed around with openmosix, "borrowing" some hardware at work.
It was interesting to see what types of processes would be migrated to other cpus and which ones were simply not movable. We ended up running distributed.net threads until our hardware hijacking was discovered (hard to miss ~30 2RU servers).
I would guess their tweaks facilitate easier process migration?
I really wish NASA would get back doing what they do best....it would be much cooler to watch man walk on Mars and then hear about how *that* was faked.

Hmmm, the brain cartel...teaching children to use "anticircumvention devices", by *schools* no less!
