We have elected a republican president... twice. In fact it is this republican president that has put the emphasis on American primacy in the super computing arena. Something called the earth simulator out of Japan put us in our place. This president opened up funding and in effect mandated the classes of systems you see today being built at NASA, DoE facilities, and academia.
But, go on with your blind hatred and closed mindedness.
You don't usually run one program on these type of systems. The compute cycles are bidded out to researchers and they get x number of compute hours. The system is partitioned out to a few nodes and given to the researcher to run their codes on. You could have on a system like this hundreds of jobs running simultaneously.
Also, with the tens of thousands of cores needed to reach this status, a node failure, or other hardware failure is inevitable. Right now if a node fails in the middle of the job, everything is lost from the last checkpoint. The chances of failures impeding work go up greatly the more nodes and cores you run the job on.
This is what happens. You bring up that, and you know what they did believe that at one time. I doubt Mitt believes that at this time. I would hope his actions speak louder than some words from his religion's founder over a century ago.
if we start down this path.. then it's fair game for all faiths. What happens when a Muslim is up for president? There are numerous passages of Arab superiority and Islamic superiority in their texts.
What about Barack Obama's church? They preach Black Supremacy and his pastor has ties to the Nation of Islam, which is one of the most racist anti-semetic organizations in the USA today.
I see myself voting for Barack if McCain is the GOP nominee. I don't care what his religion is.
Heck, my religion teaches that Jesus manifests himself in the eucharist and only by consuming his body and blood will I be saved. Doesn't mean I walk around thinking I am somehow superior to anyone who does not eat his body or drink his blood...
Plus, I know better.
I agree. With a purchased CD I can encode at a rate that it more pleasing to me than what Apple or Microsoft deem it to be. I have unlimited rights to the copy and archival of the media. I have a master CD I can store away. There are plenty of advantages to a physical medium.
I am still miffed that SACD and/or DVD Audio never took off.
Why not just have an online library that allows people to download whatever book they wanted onto their kindle, e-reader, i-phone for nothing. There is a "limited" number of books released to this online library and books are automatically "returned" within 5 days. If you want a book you can markup, or add to your personal library you are then given an option to purchase the physical representation (or a digital representation) and have it shipped to you.
Books and knowledge are meant to be freely accessible.
The Pope is not Muslim... I don't know how you think he could hint at killing Danish Cartoonists or Salman Rushdie. In fact he caused a stir when he quotes a Byzantine Emperor, and his quote was taken out of context. After that quote was taken out of context, the Religion of Peace shot some nuns in the back and killed a Priest in Turkey.
Believe it or not, Science and Religion can co-exist.
The Catholic Church is quite a bit more progressive in regards to science than say the fundamentalist / evangelicals.
The Catholic Church employed many priests, monks, and other clergy in the practices of science throughout history. Medicine is one instance the Church has spent a lot of resources on. Many Hospital systems and research centers are funded in part by Catholic foundations / organizations.
Yes, Galileo was wrongly judged. The Church has made many mistakes, but I am sure any 2000 year old institution is going to have periods where it is way off base and others where it is on the right track. Since Galileo, the church has experienced renaissance, reformation, Vatican I, Vatican II, etc.
To make my point: Isaac Newton was a devout Catholic. The father of Genetics? A Catholic Priest.
There are lots of defining moments in American history. 9/11 is most certainly one of them no matter how little you want it to be.
How is it any less defining than Pearl Harbor? Or D-DAY?
It forced us to accept the reality of war that was ignored by administrations of all stripes since 1979.
I think the message should be of hope, and promise. That we can defeat the ideology that seeks to imprison the globe.
Women's rights groups for nearly a decade went on Oprah decrying the situation in Afghanistan. Americans (plus our NATO allies) went in after 9/11 and changed the course of that country forever. But, since the Bush administration was the catalyst for such happenings, it is not trumpeted as a success by these organizations and our media.
I will continue to live my life the same whether Obama, Clinton, or Huckabee when the general election. I would prefer we have a president that understands the threat posed to us though, and isn't one to seek purely police action against entities that are propped up and hiding in failed states.
The only people who think Giuliani is running his entire campaign based purely on 9/11 are not either listening to him, but rather listening to his detractors, and they are not reading his policy statements, and understanding that 9/11 shouldn't be taken off the table either. It figures into his foreign policy outlook as well as certain domestic policies.
Giuliani can't escape 9/11 it happened on his watch, in his city. But, he has much more substance than that.
Really, though, it is those who fear a Giuliani nomination that are pushing the Giuliani is running on 9/11 only notion.
I can see this product geared towards flight simmers. Figure out how to drive four of these displays (front, left, right, back) and I'll be happy. That and I won't have to worry about installing a furnace in my new house.
With HA and Clustering capabilities offered by many virtualization solutions you could end up taking a physical server and resources that weren't redundant and through consolidation efforts end up with more redundancy than before. It's all in how the solution is designed and knowing when to use virtualization and when not to use virtualization.
Depends on the virtualization solution. Vmware has a product called Vmware consolidated backup.
You can also load agents on the vms just like a physical server and back them up. You could also use things like mirroring and snapshotting to back them up at the storage layer.
We used a combination of all 3 at my previous employ. Really depended on the virtualized box, what needed backing up, how often, etc.
I agree 100%. Though there was definitely predatory lending and people buying on supposed "house payments" not understanding that taxes, and resets would in effect triple payments in a short couple of years. People buying said homes sometimes were expressly ignorant, or thought they could easily get out of the house when they no longer could afford it.
Lots of people lost money in the 1990s and early 2000s due to VC and Media hype on xyz.com IPO. Lots of smart people lost a fortune.
It happens.
Due diligence is always necessary when forking over hard earned, real money. Unfortunately many people are gullible and are sold a pack of lies. Those selling the pack of lies should be prosecuted and punished.
Personally, I fault the Government Schools and Parents for creating the environment we have today. People are manufactured stupid now.
That'd be nice and all...
But in 1st life, people are losing homes for being caught up in schemes, not being "smart" about their purchases, etc. and real action is being taken to punish those who defrauded such "rubes".
For some reason or other the Gov't and people in general frown on swindling.
Because most people can't and won't use Leopard for their day to day work and amusement. When XP first came out everyone exclaimed how much better OSX was, look where we are at today.
They are saying the same thing about Vista, but time will show Vista, post SP1, will be adopted widely.
I, myself, am looking forward to an Ubuntu powered XPS One.

I'll vote for him if McCain or Huckabee gets the nomination on the GOP side. I will never vote for Hillary.
He's the only Republican left, running. And who gives a flying rat fart if he's Mormon. It's quite unAmerican to put him to a religious test.

Such as VMW and XenSource and every ORCL acquisition. It's the potential that the companies and investors are buying.
No one is preventing said researcher or inventor from buying time on a non tax-payer funded machine.
Also, DOE superomputers are used to keep our nuclear warheads safe and perform nuclear testing, as it is impossible to carry out real tests now.
Does this affect Earthlink customers who ride ontop of Time-Warner?

Is there going to be an ESX variant specifically for X-serve systems? And why? Otherwise, how is the proposed solution any different than Zones?
