Would a free vacation be enough to convince you to save some money every month? What if I threw in free airfare too? All you need to do is go to: http://cognigen.net/corporate/?owen Check the Best Rate Calculator, and then choose the lowest rate 1+ (no lengthy access number, no busy signals) long distance service provider you can get! They have lots of other great telecom 'stuff' too. That's it. Now go get your free vacation and free airfare: http://iwav.vacation-4-free.com/orbit http://iwav.trip4free.com/orbit Still not enough incentive? Need another reason to lower your phone bill? How about if I also throw in a free 500-channel satellite dish with free installation? http://iwav.dishnetcentral.com/orbit Isn't this an offer you can't refuse?? (Even if you DON'T want to lower your phone bill, you can still use the free stuff -- there is no obligation.) Owen Burger the orbit team P.S. Cognigen is also a great business opportunity -- no cost EVER to be an agent. Massive passive residual income. You could send this same ad. Note: I respect your privacy, and this is a one-time mailing from me. If you would rather be removed from the "travel" list I purchased, just send a blank email with "remove" and your email address in the subject line. I will forward it to the list source.

Michael Rubin's August 9th piece, "Indict Saddam," did not address two key questions upon which international criminal courts rest: are they founded on a universally recognized basis, and are their processes being uniformly applied? Basis Fundamental questions have been raised regarding the legal and moral foundation of ad hoc judicial forums, such the War Crimes Tribunal in the Hague and Rwandan tribunals. Both were created by the U.N. Security Council though its charter mentions no such authority. Isn't this little more than mob justice carried out by nation states? Come to think of it isn't the purpose of all murder trials "civilized Vengeance" (small c, big V)? The espoused purpose of these courts is to enforce "norms of justice in the international community." But who constitutes that community and what are those norms? The truth is justice like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Historically, the notion of what is just has varied considerably and often based on economics and religion. Modern western justice tends to ignore these factors and so sets the stage, indirectly, for a trial of cultures. Even within the west these norms seem to be rapidly changing. Can or should such norms be used a basis for international law? Uniform Application Like the Nuremberg trials before them, these tribunals appear ripe with application of ex post facto "laws" and inattention to technicalities. They often bear little resemblance to the laws and their application within the major U.N. member states. The states have no great interest in either bringing a consistent moral basis to their foreign and domestic policies or establishing strong extra-national courts which could conceivably bring national leaders to account their actions. All potential violators must be investigated with equal vigilance and judged according to a uniform standard or none should be. Serious charges have been leveled against Henry Kissenger yet no criminal indictments have been brought or even discussed by the tribunals. Unless these courts are held by world citizens to the motto "Equal Justice Under Law" carved on our Supreme Court building then no courts should be convened. Current procedures brand the courts as a propaganda puppet show merely using forms of justice to carry out a predetermined policy. Competition Despite frequent evidence that economics trump justice, national governments continue the charade of representing all the interests of their citizens. Mohammed Douri, Iraq's U.N. ambassador's quote in the article put it cynically and succinctly, "Politics is about interests. Politics is not about morals." I believe Mohammed is right. That these courts aren't better is because, like most governmental services, they have no need: there is no viable alternative. If one accepts the American Constitutional notion that all rights are originally vested in the sovereign individual and that competition is usually the best path to maximizing quality of a service, then a clear path extends to a market based solution. Effective private justice may not provide a fairer outcome but it will offer an alternative which will challenge the current tribunals and their masters to either abandon pretexts that they are impartial, abandon the tribunals altogether or improve them. Any attempt to establish a private global (as opposed to international, as in between nations) justice system are likely to be met with harsh responses by the major nation states. They don't want the competition and some of their current or former leaders and their lieutenants could be the first facing indictments. So, anonymity of supporters is a prerequisite. The Internet has shown us that it can be an effective medium for annealing those with out of the mainstream political views into formidable groups whilst offering effective privacy. Money often buys justice. So, a means for moralists to anonymously fund their interests is needed. Fortunately, a number of effective and popular electronic currencies (e.g., e-gold) with adequate privacy features exist. Every successful social movement requires leadership. Hopefully someone of great character and stature will step forward or emerge and take the reins to either bring all to account for their war crime actions (by whatever means necessary) or thwart (by whatever means necessary) the ability of the U.N. tribunals to operate from their baseless pedestal.

So, are you now claiming you plan to build one? Why else the "part of the appeal lies in the satisfaction of" bit? As I showed in some calculations a few days ago, power costs dominate hardware costs with older CPUs. Not cost-effective to use older processors. > Personally, I'd like to run problems through some > optimization and simulation software, do a little code-based qualitative > analysis, etc. without hogging resources somewhere else with all the old > wizards looking over my shoulder, tapping their feet.

As with AI and other speculative applications, 99.9% of solving a computational problem is finding the right approach, the right algorithms. I strongly doubt that there is anything along the lines of "run problems...simulation...code-based qualitative analysis" that you "need" a mere factor of 10 or 20 speed improvement with. (Said 10-20x speedup needing roughly 30-100 times as many CPUs, as I outlined in my recent post on using 66 MHz-300 MHz Pentiums and Pentiums IIs in place of 1.1 GHz Pentium IIIs, 1.4 GHz Athlons, 1.7 GHz Pentium 4s, etc.) It's sort of like astronomy: having a Keck or Hubble telescope sounds like a nice thing, but keeping it "loaded" is difficult for a user unless he has a very clear observation program in mind. Hence the intensive reviews for proposed uses. If you are already running a CPU-intensive task on a "mere" 10 GOPS machine, and you think that you can load a 500 GOPS machine efficiently, and you are willing to spend more in electrical power in the first year than buying faster CPUs would have provided (!!!), go for it. But if you just think it would be "neat" to have a 500 GOPS machine tripping your power mains when you turn the array on (you _did_ think about the additional power you'd have to provide, didn't you?), think harder. The Terascale machine is one of several such _large_ arrays. My old company, Intel, makes the IA-64 (Itanium, and followups) architecture. > Linux supercomputing grid unveiled for science use > > By TODD R.

And, of course, tasks for this machine will be very carefully picked. By the way, the involvement of IBM is an important point. No mention of their own "Power" architecture in this project. This is yet another hint that they moving in the same direction Compaq just signalled when the dropped the Alpha and adopted the IA-64. Since H-P is already a partner with Intel in the IA-64 effort, this means that every significant computer and server maker has adopted the IA-64 except for one: Sun Microsystems. They're still using the SPARC architecture, but clearly it has not become the building block they once hoped it would (for others). The fact that they don't control their own manufacturing of the chip is also an issue. MIPS has become a microcontroller and game machine CPU--consumer electronics. Alpha is being discontinued. H-P's PA-RISC is being merged into the IA-64 path, and IBM is hedging its bets on "Power" (PowerPC a la G3/G4 and its higher-end Power chips for large computers) by aggressively marketing Pentium, Xeon, and Itanium machines. That's all the major architectures gone or going, except for UltraSPARC. And knowing what I know about upcoming chips and processes, I'm hanging on to my Intel stock for the rocket ride that is coming. --Tim May
