| 485980 | 2006-09-20 22:50:00 | 16nodes, 75mHz pentiums, 64MB ram per node. linux. Is there any practical use for it other than boosting my geekdom and the geekdom of my friend? |

| 485983 | 2006-09-21 02:36:00 | It will make quite a good heater. :cool: You could connect a weather station, and have it run the appropriate number of computers, dependng on the outside temperature You might be able to do some long term weather forecasting; probably a 14 day forecast wuld take no more than a year to produce. But its will still be an interesting project. It doesn't have to be useful. |
