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

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".

Get off my lawn!

I'm with you. I'm not saying they weren't hacked. I'm just saying it's a lot easier to say you were hacked from an unknown source than it is to admit you allowed someone to monkey with the live reservation system.

Think for yourself, but have a look here.

Their statistics suck, even if their principles are sound.

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

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.

Illinois here. I have not had *a* governor arrested recently.

I believe I'm up to 6.

Try to keep up, haters!

THIS.

Forget Office and all the other arguments.

Make a distro of Linux that:
1. There is no monthly fee to install games (that you could make work with enough of your own research)
2. Supports an EASY install button.

I'm quite surprised that there isn't a Gaming Distro. I tried linux on my home boxes for many years, but eventually we ran out of games to play and resorted to Windows installs in order to play.
I keep hearing the "oh games are for kids" or "death of PC gaming" or whatever- Completely invalid arguments. I mean really- How many people needed that more powerful machine "to crunch numbers" better or "for photoshop" when really it was for the game of that time (Doom, CS, Crysis, Skyrim, etc)???

and the last line:

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

Perhaps this can actually run (gasp) Crysis?
