There are plenty of problems that can happily use conviently parallel algorithms. The interconnect latency usually only matters if you are simulating a large memory.
You obviously were moving forward without thinking!
Back then, I wasn't sure I wanted to have a registered account on a website for commenting... ha! Took me until 4 digits were around before I said, "Fine, I'll grab an account".
I was stating that in a number of cases, you don't need HPC, you need the high memory instead of the interconnect, because basically researchers write programs that just use the interconnect to provide a large memory.
The problem is that in a number of cases a researcher could easily use HTC, but they follow the fashion of HPC, using more specialized resources than necessary. Don't get me wrong, there are a number of cases where HPC makes sense, but usually what you need is a large amount of memory, or a large amount of processors. HPC only makes sense where you need both.
sudo-ldap is kind of an out-lier; I've set up NSS LDAP I don't know how many times, against both OpenLDAP and Active Directory, and I've never bothered with sudo-ldap. I can see why people would but it is entirely possible (and IMHO just as easy) to not use it.
One thing that does bug me is that nslcd doesn't understand nested Groups in AD.
How do you authenticate to do sudo then? The only think I can think is that you are authenticating locally instead of against ldap.
You know, the football team at UW Madison might compete with the NFL for ratings. Also the basketball team may compete with the NBA for ratings. Obviously there is MUCH more to privatize.
(Or maybe there is a role for publicly owned things?)
It gets even more crazy. On the UW, Madison campus the UW hospital is a public authority (basically a separate entity from the UW) Can the university provide LAN access to that building? Not the way things are written now.
Actually there are generally not many low-skilled jobs out there.. they slowly dissappear. There was a research project in the 90's called "The midwest Job Gap". It's basic conclusion was there were 2-4 low-skill workers (for various reasons, these people aren't going to learn their way up to high skill jobs) for every 1 low skill job.
Rather than moving to mp3 at the end, you might look into speex. I used this for putting church sermons on the net and got a good size/quality trade off.
I'm suprized for lectures, speex isn't used more often.
You have not done low latency audio recording. Try running ardour, recording while playing a click track, and adjusting a slider. It takes a bit of tweeking to make that work out.
People spend a lot of time learning to program computers. To think that you can compare switching a jumper with looking through a program and figure out which DEFINE's to change is a bit of a stretch.
The idea that changing the drivers is "easy" is a very skewed perspective. (one can also reverse engineer the windows drivers, or get hacks for them.. is that trivial?)

Um... the entire state of software, games and all, is due to how copyright law is structured.. you do know that, right?

Think for yourself, but have a look here.
Their statistics suck, even if their principles are sound.

If it's so controversial, why not just get the mitochondrial dna from the father?
Too bad it comes with built in regressions: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=658896

I hope they can fix http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=368297 before they ship.
It seems horrible in this day and age that a Linux would exist that couldn't get basic functionality with ldap working.

A neutrino walks in to a bar.

Have you heard the joke about the faster than light neutrino?

Craziness.

Here's an old reference to it: http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-4404804.html
The premise that there is enough work to go around for low skill workers is generally false.

I never challenge the spelling nazi's. There, I simply admit defeat.
That said, how do you pronounce "grammar"? My spelling "mistake" (languages evolve, right?) is due to my spelling it as I say it.
Anyway, either I spelled it wrong, or I was referring to nazis from grammer, IN.
Ok, and perl has catalyst coming. Now everybodies pet languages have their own rapid development web platform. Can we move on now?

I would guess 20-30% of america can't install a program on a computer. I still would claim it is not trivial.
Is programming considered trivial?

I have found wxMusic to be a nice player.
The only problem I have is that it needs some kind of runtime sound compression or auto-level.
Bush is always underestimated by the left. He actually is a clever manipulator.
My latest favorite bumpersticker is:
"Bush thinks you're stupid!" (you refering to the public).
Given what the parroting new people say and how the public accepts it and repeats it, I am afraid that it is correct.
