"Calm down, Beavis; take a closer look at the third and fourth entries and you'll realize that they're the same exact cluster, before and after its owners added another 64 processors to it. In much the same way, System X is also listed in the seventh, ninth, and eleventh slots, with scores taken at various points along its journey to life as a complete 1,100-Xserve system. Factor out the doubles and, barring an "October Surprise," System X ought to sit in fifth place, under an Alpha cluster, a new Itanium2 system, the once-mighty Earth Simulator, and the new top dog, that chunk of IBM's unfinished BlueGene. Woo-hoo, PowerPCs in two of the top five! No other chip can say that."
Mr. Pike, I'm a fan of Plan 9 (along with the notion of what it could be), would you give us an idea of some creative uses for this OS. Be as specific as possible.
Also, if you will, a link for (instructions) porting to Plan 9.

It reminds me of the record business.
Seriously, some of the talent scouts really CAN tell what's really good just by listening (some got the job from their uncle/auntie). That's where the trouble starts, no one can make a decision-much less a decent pitch without invoking the gods of pop for comparison. The reason no one is buying is because they're picking stinkers.
Example: Bonnie Raitt's Nick of Time.

Took marketing totally by surprise!, she was deemed "washed up". Surprise!
The listening public had NO trouble picking this little gem out and making it gold (what? double platinum).
Another artist they don't push:
http://www.universalrecords.com/quicktime/ediebr ic kell/
Brilliant stuff (for the genre).
If the recording companies were smart they let us pick the hits. You know, a Fresh Artist, New release download area (with marketing pushing the site heavily). Many Ears make for a NO Brainer(TM)
My favorite example:
http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/corinnemusic
These artists are hiding in plain site.
The record companies (why yes, I DO know of what I speak) need to fire some people a get with the program.
This is all quite academic, until you've been shot.
I have. It was in a parking lot some years ago. I was picking up my girlfriend from work - minding my own business.
Sawed off 20 gauge will rock your world Shot right above the knee.
Your mind will change, not to mention your politics.
Long story short, I then purchased a Walther PPK-S, a fine, small weapon, later,... same life... I found myself in 2 separate situations, that without that pistol handy the BAD people would have another notch - both instances they back up slowly, turn and ran.
You have no idea how badly I wanted to fire a warning shot right through their head.
So kids, until you know how this feels, or REEEEAAALLLY thought this through, save it.
Backed up in a corner looking at a fucking idiot maniac, I hope you do think it through - as in slow motion... what the hell am I going to do. Good luck , man.
Dear Steve, Here are a few things to help you pass the time (yes, we know you read Slashdot). You are for all intents and purposes "on mandatory holiday", make the most of it. We assume you have a Powerbook on your roll over table and some kind of mouse, so shoo everyone away and have 'em close the door.
First update your OS, go to...err, nevermind.

Think about it... They're playing right into our hands, The RIAA has had an opportunity to set an example of conduct, showing "downloaders" what they consider "doing the right thing (tm)" is. This (one of many examples) should ring in the ears of musicians/music makers affiliated with this organization.
Independents will fill this void rapidly with their wares. If you think that this is impossible, check some of the grassroots efforts - here's an example (click above).
I hope the RIAA continues in this vein, we'll have better music and the money will end up in a more proper place.
"If they offered that, you'd find something else to complain about. Face it, you're not going to be a customer, and by making impossible or nearly impossible demands on a service like iTunes, you just cement your "non-customer" attitude."
Impossible?
Actually, in this case you're completely wrong, have you checked my history?, done your homework?, have a clue what I do for a living?, no. (not that you would find much) You just assumed. Therein lies the rub. You just fired back in a knee jerk fashion defending a phantom perception that has no basis.
"Spend a little time in Recon 101 before you post."
In a "perfect world" my Dear Sir/Madam, I was wishing out loud.
when they offer an uncompressed.aiff option, (at a higher price of course) until then, forget it. I love the iTunes model but this is a deal breaker for me, and I suspect, many others.
In this segment Doug distinguishes between the Service System and the User System. The ARC team distinguishes overall man-computer system into a dichotomy between two systems, the service system and user system.The Service System is what appears at the terminal, the organization of software and hardware the system gives to me, the set of tools and capabilities available when I click on the screen. The user system is what is beyond that. Given these tools, how do we use the links, what are the conventions for leaving messages? How do we use the NLS capabilities to do work? The procedures, skills, methods, procedures, skills, and specific concepts people use are all developed in coordination with the kind of tools they have available.

Saw this one in action a few days ago, it handles Mac resources and all, never have to even deal with the OS.
