The Furbeowulf Cluster Computer is easy to make (with the right equipment) and cheap! Extremely strong, too! take a look for yourself. shoot off 10 bucks at the mall, and another $20 at radio shack, and you’re half way there.

Okay people. Maybe this will get you to read it: “It’s funny.” ---

> To be fair, however, it should be noted that Furbys placed in IRS telephone support positions received no more complaints than their human counterparts and studies showed that they provided a comparable level of accuracy in their answers to taxpayer questions. 😛 ---

I dunno? I don’t know who that is. I was actually looking to find out how to build my own cluster, and google popped that up. 🙂 ---

Oh, the reason I have clusters on the mind —\> 199$ for a PC! 1ghz, 128 MB ram, 20 gig HD fifty more and you can upgrade! 2ghz. some other things maybe. crazy stuff! I found that on a link to stuff about G5 from in the Apple thread. For the price of a G5 you can just get 10 of these linux comps and make a supercomputer! ---

> And the future of Furby-based supercomputing? With a working supercomputing array, complete with artificial intelligence and speech recognition and synthesis capabilities, why not ask it? “Oooh-tay u-naigh mahh-weah aye-gwam!” it said, in chorus. I’m not quite sure what that means, but isn’t exploring the unknown what science is all about? lol 😛
