The dawn of a new internet age has begun. A network of supercomputers, known as the Grid, is to revolutionise the speed at which information is downloaded to personal computers.

The power of the Grid is such that downloading films should take only seconds, not hours, and processing music albums just a single second. Video-phone calls should also cost no more than a local call. More importantly, it should help to narrow the search for cures for diseases.

The Grid, a network of 100,000 computers, is to be connected to the world’s largest machine, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It is designed for projects, such as large research and engineering jobs, which need to crunch huge quantities of data, but scientists believe it will eventually be used on home computers.

The Grid allows scientists at CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, to get access to the unemployed processing power of thousands of computers in 33 countries to deal with the data created by the LHC.

Can someone please explain to me how this super computing power is going improve the bandwidth of my broadband connection to the point where I can download films in mere seconds?

It is called life..we just have to agree to disagree and not let out feelings get hurt. We are all different and how boring it would be if we weren’t.

In AZ, the state constitution already defines marriage between one man and one woman…. and this has been upheld by our state supreme court…. So how many straight people are going to loose their domestic partner benefits….

The only difference is that Palin is dumb and Monica only pretends to be. Stick them on a deserted island and let them lie to each other instead of the rest of the world.

Unemployed would be nice…even Gonzo had trouble finding a job. And he is slightly smarter…I think…maybe not..
