you are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wrong.
Its not unethical to buy hardware and then use hardware however you see fit.
If MS sells it below cost, that was MS choose.
"When Roadrunner is finished in 2008 it will cover 12,000 square feet (1,100 square metres) of floor space at Los Alamos National Laboratory
IBM says it will start shipping the new supercomputer later this year."
I liked to order one myself, do they need to use the Airbus 380 for delivery.
the winning design is ugly, the current look is better. However, the runner up design is very smooth/nice looker. you should reconsider using that one instead.
I thought Ruby on Rails sounded cool, until I saw that it automatically pluralizes person to people.
any computer language that does that, in my opinion is just to unpredictable to use.
that makes sense, but I still dont get why it is $1 per CPU?? are you saying the expensive part is the special interconnects?
Because if you wanted to run a supercomputer of 1000's CPU's for an hour it would cost $1000, that seems really expensive.
I mean if I bought one opteron for say $800 it would only take me a year to get 360*24 CPU-hours which at a dollar a piece is way more expensive than just buy the hardware to begin with.
interesting, it seems like it would be very fuel efficient cause of the low atmospheric air friction? unless the enormous size of the balloon makes the air friction large?
If balloons can get us out of the atmosphere, why not use balloons to make a very fast form of transit that is made possible by having very little air friction?
But let's consider that the average Apple user just plain doesn't like Windows. Sure, there's some people running both Windows and OSX in their homes right now but I'm guessing that's pretty rare. I would say these users are about as polarized as the last U.S. presidential election.
The average windows user doesn't like windows. I don't think it's polarized, I think nobody likes windows.
NO.
I suppose it depends what you mean. Currently a Compiler for a quantum algorith is actually a classical computation.
They might discover ways to speed up lots of things doing quantum computers..i think its really kind of unknown right now...if they will find many usefull quantum algorithms or not.
Quantum Computers are only faster when there is a Quantum Algorithm for the problem at hand. Quantum Algorithms are very tricky to come up with. It is really not known what problems can be solve quicker by Quantum Computers. But right now the only problem I know of that has been solved is factoring.
funny how many people think this scheme is analog, it is digital, you would know that if you read the paper. Pretty sure the scheme is flawed but it is definetly digital.
It seems to me the basis of his encryption scheme is that the circuit with two resistors act together in the circuit, and there is no way to disentangle which resistor is which? but the circuit doesnt quite act as one unit?
suppose the two resistors are very far apart, then all of a sudden both person A and person B change the risistor they are using?
and your at some point of the wire close to A, eavesdropping on the line, then
any change you will detect in the signal you will know will be due to A only, because the resistor at B cant change the current or the voltage in circuit instantenously, it takes a finite amount of time(determined by the speed of light) for the change in voltage due to resistor B, to effect the point your listening to at A.
actually if you had read his article, you would realize it is a digital sceme.
however from my glance, it seems his scheme is flawed because he seems to assume that the voltage and current in the circuit travels instantenously, when in fact of course its limited by the speed of light.

Do not set your heights so low..don't aim for a Masters, aim for a Ph.D.
correct, none of the schools he mentioned where in the IVY league. anyhow the IVY league is just a bunch of uptight snobs anyhow.

Since the signal doesnt get blocked by anything, if your using one frequency nobody else on the planet can use the same frequency.
I see, so the point is it is for people who rarely need to do really large jobs, but do them very quickly.
So what sort of company/costumer needs to do really large jobs really quickly but doenst need to do them very often?

I don't understand how can it be $1 per CPU per hour? The opteron is only a 2.2 GHz processor how is that a supercomputer?
