,----[ Quote ]
| EPCC also runs a green supercomputer called Maxwell--unveiled early in
| 2007--which is 10 times more energy efficient than traditional equivalents.
|
| Despite its vast power, it falls short of the world's fastest computer, Blue
| Gene/L, which can reach speeds of 478 teraflops.

| The conference is being held in Edinburgh, and runs from 16-23
| June. The official purpose of the gig is to gather the cream of
| the worldwide Linux developer community together to debate,
| discuss, and otherwise dissect all the wonders of non-corporate
| Linux. But we all know it is really about the beer.
|
| Anyway, many of the great and the good (and some of the less
| great and slightly badder) will be attending this year dressed
| in their fabulous tartan skirts*. We're told Mark Shuttleworth
| will be so attired, as will UK open sourcer Mark Taylor...
