    Imagine rebooting the complete cluster after installing software !!!

  3. Re:Will it have a GUI on Microsoft Competes In Supercomputer Market · · Score: 0

    Forget the GUI. Who uses Windows for heavy computation anyway ?
    And even if people do (Excel spreadsheet VBA heavy computing by connecting to a heavily bloated MSAccess DB or an ORACLE DB), have those been ported or even tested on a multi-processor cluster to make use of the extra computing power ?
    Does VBA even have any capabilities without using the shady COM interfaces to do any networking or movement of data across computers ?
    Bill Gates is living a lie, waking up in the morning everyday and telling himself that Windows can do so much more than what Linux can do.

  4. Re:I prefer this definition on Microsoft Lauds Scrum · · Score: 0

    The dictionary.com definition says :


    scrum n.

          1. Sports.

                      a. A play in Rugby in which the two sets of forwards mass together around the ball and, with their heads down, struggle to gain possession of the ball.

                      b. The mass or formation of players during such a play.

          2. Chiefly British. A disordered or confused situation involving a number of people.

     


    Clearly Microsoft is going for the definition 2. above!! They are trying to use British words to fool the American management.:)

  11. Re:Bleh, more phewie! on Programming and Dieting? · · Score: 1

    Best thing would be to go join a gym and exercise for atleast 45 minutes. I have been doing that since the last 1 year and have lost 25 pounds. It makes you fresh, and de-stresses your mind and body. Plus at the gym if you don't disclose that you are a programmer, maybe one of the hot chics will go out with ya :)

  15. mistake in the article on Homer Becomes Omar · · Score: -1

    From TFA :
    With 60 per cent of the population in the Arab world under the age of 20, and 40 per cent under 15, the market is likely to expand.
    The article writers have made a mistake in addition. 60% of the population is below 20, and 40% is under 15, that makes 100% of the population under 21. No wonder they cannot show Omar drinking beer !!!
    What happened to the people aged above 21?
    Oh Right! They are with Osama bin Laden hiding somewhere ;)
