I've got it somewhat working - there was a solaris PAM kerb5 module out there. It needed to be fixed up a bit, but for the most part just worked.
I'm not sure if I ever really got it right though; - I've never really done a full kerb install on the machine - all I wanted was something that authenticated.
Anyway, the guy who originally wrote it is Naomaru Itoi - I haven't had time to send him my changes yet, so if you have problems building it send me some mail...

No, I think they got several thousand friendly calls at once, and just aren't able to answer everything. Just because you've got a DSL connection doesn't mean that you'll stand a better chance of getting through...
they evidently got the data uncompressed. Video is big. They still have to shrink down and compress it, I would imagine. The final size is probably gonna be like 15 megs or so...
They listed some sites that will have carry the list of mirrors - starwarz.com, jedinet.com and newsdroid.com. (note that I didn't make them links so you can't/. them into the ground quite so easily:)
They also said that Entertainment Tonight was going going to be showing it tomorrow night (wednesday)
-Erik, whose mirror is just waiting on getting the file:)
umm.. they could patent it. In fact, I think a CDDB-like system is probably even a valid patent, instead of the horseshit patents that are usually granted.
However, unless the CDDB guys filed a patent a while ago, it doesn't matter because it's been out for more than a year now, and there's plenty of prior art. So this should be safe from new patents.
They're NOT releasing the next trailer tonight From their site:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ANNOUNCEMENT MONDAY MAR 8 7:43PM ET
Contrary to what other sites have been posting, there will be NO TRAILER B posted here, before STARWARS.COM posts it, according to Lucasfilm's wishes. Even if, hypothetically, we were to put up a version we got from, say, Entertainment Tonight, I have been told that it would still be against Lucasfilm's wishes, unless starwars.com has it posted already. This information can be confirmed on other star wars websites that Lucasfilm also contacted, and I respect their wishes.
The big file that I am going to be putting out instead later tonight is NOT Trailer B and in no way is it aimed against Lucasfilm's wishes to keep the release of STAR WARS material under their control. It is NOT moving STAR WARS FOOTAGE per se. However, I can confirm that new pictures and the trailer WILL be released the minute that the official site releases the trailer.

PPC SMP Boxes

4 Way SMP usually suffers on beowulfs because the memory bandwidth in the machine is not high enough to feed the processors. In addition, it becomes very easy to saturate the I/O bus if you have to do a lot of communication.
More bandwidth wouldn't make a world-wide cluster possible - the killer with a big cluster is the latency, which increasing the bandwidth doesn't help much with.
Check out the globus project, who are actually trying to build something like this www.globus.org
Mesa is already mostly there, but it costs to take the compliance tests, so he never claims to be.

Actually, you should probably read the GPL. Check out Section 2:
You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions...
If you don't distribute your copies, (ie keep them for internal use only) then the you don't have to make your changes availble.
If you distributed your stuff, then it's a totally different ball game...

If 100meg ethernet wouldn't scale, then neither would myrinet or gigabit.
For something like this, you'd build it in some sort of tree configuration.
My guess is probably 100megabit, because a 2000 node myrinet would be super expensive....
Dude, he said "O2K", which means Origin 2000. No one in their right mind is trying to position the O2 as anything more than a Blue Macintosh :)
Besides the Ultra 10k's from Sun kick the crap out of the O2Ks...

Is it on their site yet, or are they just getting crushed before anything's actually there?

So, where can I get a device to make rom images, or where are the specs so I can build one?
