I was watching a science program and they went to a lab where they were
 using Linux (it said so on the sign outside the building) They were
 looking at high preasure flow around the new capsule designed. What was
 (very) impressive was the results were being displayed on a bank of
 monitors - 10x10

 Talk about showing off... sheesh!

 It looked like a distributed system, in fact the sign mentioned 10240
 systems, unless that was the address...


 Nope it isn't the address.

 It will use the might of 10,240 Intel Itanium 2 processors for complex
 computer simulations.



        For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe 
         as it really is than to persist in delusion, 
             however satisfying and reassuring.  - Carl Sagan
