Several hundred people have sent word of a Linux roast-a-thon over at Ziff-Davis AnchorDesk. We recommend you send hostile flames to the author to let your voice be heard -- we simply cannot and will not allow idiots to badmouth our favorite operating system.

Modern Art Beowulf Cluster

Contributed by Dennis on Saturday November 25, @06:26AM
from the i-should-have-majored-in-art dept.
Clarert writes, "A bored grad student at Little Whitsitt State College created a modern art sculpture in the campus courtyard made entirely out of old 386 computers. The cool part is that this Rube Goldberg-like contraption actually works -- part of it is a fully functional Beowulf cluster! The Computer Science Club's website is served by the cluster, which is nicknamed Geekzilla." I wish they had cool stuff like that at my college.

Attack of the Killer Backhoe
|
Contributed by Dennis on Saturday November 25, @04:26AM
from the nerds-panic-nationwide dept.
Net access was severaly disrupted earlier today by an errant backhoe that accidentally cut two major net backbone cables near San Jose, California. Preliminary reports indicate that as much as 36% of all US-based websites were offline for as many as three hours. The backhoe operator, "Bubba" Tukker, says that he "pulled the wrong lever". A full investigation by the FCC will commence as soon as the department receives sufficient funding.

What's Going On With MyGlobe.Com?
|
Contributed by Dennis on Saturday November 25, @03:55AM
from the the-truth-is-out-there dept.
Pundits are worried about MyGlobe.Com, which is not only in financial trouble but has been acting very erratically lately. Instead of laying off employees that they don't need, they've increased their workforce by 45% even though in a few months they'll start bouncing payroll checks. According to some, the company is doomed because it had a business plan written on a napkin. So what gives?

Another day, another dotcom bites the dust. This time it's Strategic.Com. This article in PC Week analyzes the latest victim in the dotcom downturn, suggesting that the company failed because it employed a bunch of teenagers who learned everything they knew about business from running a lemonade stand when they were younger.

Why Did Effort-intensive.Com Go Bust?
|
Contributed by Ryan on Friday November 24, @06:59PM
from the can-you-say-beowulf-cluster? dept.
MSNBC takes a look at why Effort-intensive.Com failed and what they probably could have done to survive. They suggest that they fell into the trap of believing that "If you build it, they will come and spend money", which, unlike in movies, doesn't happen in the Real World. Another explanation is that the company built a website with gratuitious Flash, JavaScript, and ActiveX features that irritated everyone. I realized as I read this that I never once bought anything from Effort-intensive.Com. Oh well.

Contributed by Mike on Friday November 24, @04:34PM
from the a-match-made-in-hell dept.
This article over at MSNBC argues that E-Statesman.Com should merge with Microsoft. Why? Because "both companies would share bleeding-edge synergies."
