    long story,

    Our group has been doing odd projects of all sorts over the years and have had many people come and go. Brian was one of our best linux guys who turned on us and cost us alot of time and money along with a network that was donated by our then financial backer after he lied about us to gain the network for himself after he became greedy and wanted it all for himself and didn't think we were giving him any credit. needless to say the poor guy ended up with nothing while we continue on in our quest to build our network.

  6. roadtrip my ass.. on Building a Teraflop Donated Beowulf Cluster · · Score: 1

    Here is the exact reason we did not relese the location of the system because every tom dick and hank would drive here to see it, hack it, steal it, or whatever the case may be. CAN U SAY SECURITY RISK ? Until we get phase 2 of our security up we will not be releasing ANY info on the location !

    My name is Eric J Sayward head of the Übermensch project. I find your lack of faith disturbing. Do you have any Idea what this system will be doing? Have you ever donated to cancer research, or helped in the advancment of science? Obviously you have been scammed in the past and must now think that everything is a scam. When we get security up to par, I will personally give you a tour of the facility just to prove to you that we are no scam and that things which everyone thinks are impossible really are possible. Everyone laughed when we said we were going to the moon ! think about it.

    P.S. note that said person did not speak with us personally... and on top of that posted anonamously.... Pictures of the system will be up soon.. and also if said person had half a brain the would have taken pictures of our building not the one next to it.. the airconditioner is not ours with the bag on it.. ce ce ce some people I tell ya

    This project has spawned alot of doubt. We have spent the last 6 months designing it and how it would be built. Once we reach a break point of 10+ gigaflop cpu power we can put it to good use and make enough money from it to speed up it's growth and design. We admit it is a project that seems to be impossible and welcom the challenge as we have met many in the past with success. We are a company dedicated to making the impossible a reality and If it looks like a scam than don't donate your pc. When LINUX was first put on the internet people had their thoughts on that as well and now it's one of if not the greatest OS in exsistance so why cant we build the worlds largest super-computer? It's not about what we can't do, it's about the fact that we can do it but not without help. If I could afford all new CPU's and Mother Boards ect. I would and It would be alot easier. But our company budget is not large enough to buy 10,000+ AMD CPU's. Our goal is to use this system to better humanity by using it for medical research, educational use, advancement of science and whatever other uses we can find that our government has obviously fogotten about. Did you now that our government has miles of underground computers that are used for traking satalites, runing national security and everything else under the sun to benifit them. This is our chance to have a public super computer. Imaging If it cures cancer, or aids. What if we descover Inteligent life on other planets (god help us if we are the supreme beings in this universe). We are asking you to open your eyes to what we can do. I'm really sick of people telling me it can't be done. If I had listened everytime somebody said that to me in my life I would have ended up dead or in prison by now, that or a total mental case. If you think it is a scam than call me (608) 782 3006 ... Eric J Sayward

    The system is not located at 611 main, that is our office front. current location of the cluster is currently top-secret (for lack of proper security) and with good reason. Once we have completed phase 2 of our security upgrade we will publically release the location of the system.

    the ammount of support we have had on this project is amazing. System admins are poping out of the woodwork begging to be a part as well as countless hardware support. We feel confident that If we get to the point where we can not handle it that there is more than enough people out there who would be more than willing to help out.
