You, Ms. Cargill, are insulting Professors, Doctorate Students, research labs, great scientific minds. You, Ms. Cargill, tell me what kind of competence do you THINK you have to go against the most important tool of humanity: The Scientific Method ?

Submission + - Australian court blocks sales of Samsung Galaxy Ta (itnews.com.au) 2
jimboh2k writes: Apple has succeeded in blocking the sale of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in Australia until a final hearing can be heard in the case down under. The judgment on Thursday could effectively kill chances of the tablet ever launching properly in Australia after Samsung claimed further delays to the product would threaten hopes of gaining traction.
Submission + - E-Cat Test Validates Cold Fusion Despite Challenge (pesn.com)
wirelesslayers writes: The test of the E-Cat (Energy Catalyzer) that took place on October 6, 2011 in Italy has validated Andrea Rossi's claim that the device produces excess energy via a novel Cold Fusion nuclear reaction. Despite its success, the test was flawed, and could have been done in a way that produced more spectacular results — as if confirmation of cold fusion is not already stunning enough.

Primitive humans see animals getting drunk, primitive humans does the same.
Primitive humans is high and is seeing the gods of the forest and the nature, start to make up stories about those trips under subjective changes in perception, thought, emotion and consciousness caused psychedelics, dissociatives, and deliriants.
That is the base of all cults/religions, whatever.
Dead Sea Scrolls are cool, but no differ from the trips written by our ancestors.
John M. Allegro was an adviser on the dead sea scrolls to the jordanian government.
In his book "The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross: A Study of the Nature and Origins of Christianity within the Fertility Cults of the Ancient Near East", he points the primitive trips from the dead sea scrolls. He points that christ is a cover up story for the use of Amanita muscaria.
*Entheogen -> psychoactive substances used in a spiritual context.

I do not know about your research/project. But, here on the university I do my research , once you get "money for something" you must apply for that... If the money is to buy a few computers for parallel programming, it must be used this way. And you can not use the same money for cloud/grid "rent a hour".
1 - is your program cpu intensive only?
2 - is your program memory intensive?
3 - how about disk usage?
4 - Are you guys "driving" a pre-made program/package/solution (like gaussian/columbus) or developing one ?
5 - How many people gonna use your cluster?
Best practices for any of those situation are, in case you are using "boring linux":
1 - customized kernel for better performance
2 - allocation of resources using CGroups
3 - in case of developing you own program you could read about "intrinsic functions" and make your program faster.
