Quoting Wade Curry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Be careful! Your reasoning is starting to sound dangerously similar to a mainframer's! ;-)
We regularly joke that the industry is coming full circle.. right back to centralized compute power. Though it's spread across a lot of smaller machines vs a few large ones.
We're nowhere near the only place doing this kind of thing either.. it's becoming very much a standard in many places with a lot of HPC (especially EDA) work.. if desktops are used, they're just clients that are used for interactive work then batch jobs go into a central compute farm.

Good answer!"? Your family, that's who. ==> Dennis Miller on Families. -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
