Still Not Convinced - Part Two --Friday, February 23, 2007 From my home, I can peer out my window and see I-65 and I notice that the highway department is cutting back the trees so they don't grow over into traffic. With the millions of vehicles that travel that highway from Chicago to Mobile on a single day…shouldn't every living thing next to it be dead? And that includes the hundreds of thousands of cows that add their methane to the mix. Just sayin'. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined what reaction my latest global warming post was going to bring. Somehow, my little ol' blog made it clear across the Northern Hemisphere – from California to Canada to the United States Senate! I sometimes forget how quick blogs are picked up and read, especially if it deals with such a (ehm) hot topic as global warming.

Between the Lines Latest Post | Last 10 Posts | Archives Supercomputing and the art of the sales pitch Posted in: General IT Management Hardware Infrastructure Datacenter Sun Innovation Supercomputers are wonderful things. Meaningful research gets done and geeks everywhere can drool over the specs like car buffs fawning over a vintage Corvette. But there's also a subtle sales pitch, which explains why most large tech vendors play like IBM and HP play in the high-performance computing space. The pitch was evident in Sun CEO's Jonathan's Schwartz's blog post on the National Science Foundation's supercomputing cloud naturally powered by Sun. First, Schwartz delivers the eye candy (and there's a lot of it). Among the key stats: 6,000 square feet datacenter space consuming less than 3 Megawatts… More than 4000 quad core Sun/Opteron blades, 120+ Tb of DRAM, running CentOS More than 500 teraflops computing capacity Jobs scheduled by Sun's Grid Engine Interconnected by two, 100 terabit non-blocking Magnum switches Data managed by the Lustre file system, on Thumpers More than 2 petabytes of storage Pretty neat eh? But it's hard to miss the sales pitch.

Obama Denies Assuring Canada on NAFTA
The adviser, Austan Goolsbee, said his comments to those officials were misinterpreted by the author, Joseph DeMora, who works for the Canadian consulate in Chicago and attended the meeting. In Carrollton, Texas, Obama told reporters: "Nobody reached out to the Canadians to try to assure them of anything." Asked why he had appeared to deny a report last week that such a meeting had taken place, Obama said: "That was the information I had at the time." In Ottawa, Prime Minister Stephen Harper disputed the contention of his political opposition that Canadian officials leaked word of the meeting to complicate Obama's chances or to favor Republican Sen. John McCain, who strongly supports NAFTA. .
