First of all I must that my jaw is actually hanging about the GINA issue. And then a possible solution would be either: a] Microsoft convinces everyone how wonderfully greater and safer "Remote Desktop Connection" is, so CLI is not used anyway [naah../.ers would really love to see that, imagine the terabytes of flamebait]
b] SomeOne writes a script which will unlock the doors of HELL, which allows users [admins & HPC users, actually] to call WinAPI functions from the command line, so that you can add printers and configure network adapters, and - and - and......do the millions of stuff you normally can't apart from a "Microsoft-approved" GUI - usually explorer.exe or other shell alternatives [yeah, did you know there are some?!] which use the windows API.
WindowsCE.. Yes, that shows some portability indeed, but does it really? Which parts of the windows (2000) family architecture *did* it hold? To the best of my knowledge the resemblance stops at the "start" button and the file structure.. WinCE was completelly re-written, and I fear that this won't be the case with WinHPC..
Misunderstanding. I never meant that windows is suitable for Clustering or that you can get rid of the GUI in some easy way. I just illustrated some points that you *can* indeed to from the command line [after you boot up the bloated bulky GUI]. A trick you can do if you are really serious about having command-line-Windows(TM) is to make it boot up cmd.exe instead of explorer.exe as a shell.. But you still load a shitful of useless processes and services and more.
[By the way F8[and then command prompt] only works in 9x but shhh!!]
A Windows-based system could mean a 640 pentium-266's running windows 95/2K/XP with some software which allows some degree of processor power (ha) sharing.
THAT is radically different from an OS designed for cluster use.
[if you don't know why that is, then sorry, i can't help any more..Try "Clusters for dummies"]
" For example, with the standard Windows install" Uhm.. *Which* standard Windows install? Xp pro? 2K sp35? 2K3 sp69?
"It is not possible to kill a process from the command line without getting a Resource Kit utility from Microsoft." Not true. XP PRO ships with tasklist.exe and taskkill.exe. The first lists your processes and the second kills them. The second is quite useful, too, as you can mass-exterminate processes by username or other filters. Entirelly useful if you want to delete all the spyware & other-useless-crap your computer boots up with.
The thing is not just the outer shell [Explorer.exe].. What is that.. usually 3 or 5 MB? [wow! mine is 66 MB at the moment.. Hmm.. Well that's rare.] The problem is removing all the other useless crap out of it.. Does anyone think they will re-write the OS from scratch to make it more lightweight? Of course not! It's microsoft ideology: "Since we have resources [It's an HPC after all], USE THEM!" So it will probably end up being more heavyweight than XP home&pro..
Can you imagine a "Setting up your cluster" wizard?:D
"The point is that Microsoft can probably work very hard to castrate the gui windows out of Windows(tm) and end up with smallish kernel or micro-kernel architecture:" Hmm... What was that name again... DOS?.:Microsoft now bringing you 'DOS.NET' for HPC:.
I think the title is quite misleading, and I still don't get why this whole story couldn't be about a desctructive interference as in with sound waves.
"With the introduction of the two new holes, a destructive inteference appears in 3 of the shadows"
I am quite sure that the guy didn't mean disk size, but % use in population.. How widespread Windows is compared to the alternatives.

my point is that normal bike brakes grip and the tyre drags on the surface [it's called friction] until it comes to a stop. With this system if you break the bike just stops right there [or at least in the next 'tooth' of the 'road']. The fact that the rider will be projected forwards is another issue.

weren't they called JAMMERS back in the nice radio-sharks times? Jam the 11 802.11 band frequencies and you have a "DoS" attack...
I really love the term "Fragile protective Layer"
It goes well with "Glass Bulletproof Vest".

Well, monkey p0rn doesn't load fast on 56K, does it?
It is not only about vulnerabilities and exploiting the robot's software, even simpler things could be a great issue in such cases..
For example, a jammer. Operate a jammer in the 11 wifi bands and you got it isolated.
Simple?
Martha.. bring the darn blankets from th'attic hun.

hey-the brakes will be killer though.. It is the only thing I c that is better than the original invention [ round wheels ;) ]
