Standard Notes is a pretty good alternative. It's open source, and free to use if you don't need rich text. You can even run your own server if security is an issue.

I wish diaspora had a groups feature. It's one of the big reasons it's difficult to move there from facebook.

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.

I've been pretty happy using Universal Media Server instead of Plex.

I checked them both out last year when looking for the best way to steam stuff from my network to my Samsung Smart TV, and I was much more comfortable with UMS. It's been working fine ever since for my purposes.

IBM, at least, is using it as a way to get rid of older, higher paid workers in the USA. By making an employee come back to the office and/or move to a regional office, they are able to force people out without running into those pesky layoff laws.

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!

Think for yourself, but have a look here.

Their statistics suck, even if their principles are sound.

I second this, a dedicated hardware solution is going to be more reliable than a pc-based solution. Plus those Cocoontech forums are a wealth of information.

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.

This was a technique used by fictional assassin John Rain in Barry Eisler's "Rain Fall".
The assassin got right up to his victim in the subway and placed a device that would trigger the pacemaker on a delay.
