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.
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
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.
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.
Bartender "We do not serve neutrinos in here"
A neutrino walks in to a bar.
and the last line:
Have you heard the joke about the faster than light neutrino?
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.
Craziness.
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.
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.
