I don't care how much "publicity" they throw at IPv6, if the actual network admins don't adopt it, it will not go anywhere fast.
I know, for my company at least, we don't want it because it not as intuitive as IPv4. AND the users already know how to use the "192.168.... " terminology. To try to teach a user IPv6 is the same as trying to get them to take their heads out of their arses !!!
I agree with this. I am a South African living and working in the US now. I attended the University of Pretoria. This is not even a recognised degree outside of SA, but it is a degree, none-the-less. The main reason I have got to where I am now is because of about 15 years experience.
Another thing you need to consider is diverse experience.
It's all very well and good to know C++ or VB, but to have experience in multiple languages adds a lot to a resume. The same is true for the admin side of things - I admin Windows, Unix & Linux (mostly Linux). Internetworking is a huge requirement nowdays.
I posted the article AND I did read it !!
If you actually RTFA, you'd see that it says "Each system with 512 Intel Itanium 2 processors would operate as a single system image (SSI),"

Yup. I've always said that MicroStuffed never started as a software company, just a marketing company. Anyway, kudos to Gil Bates on that show. He He.
I agree. My CS class c. 1992 in South Africa was the same.
They've been teaching this for YEARS.
You're right. Except that their site went down right at the beginning of it.
Or at, say, 272 Kelvin (-1 deg Celsius).
PS. You don't say "0 degrees Kelvin", it's just "0 Kelvin".

Not a cluster, a single machine !!
