The time to go back to school that is. My mom always loves it when the back to school commercials are on TV, because she knows that me and my brother will be outta here soon. the only thing is, is that i have 2 more semesters to go before i get my Associates Degree, and stay home with her. I know half/some of you are getting ready to go back to school, wether it be college, or high school, or grade school, I give you the best of luck in the upcoming year.
Should I get onto the news? Well I think so... But I'd like to point out this story that is on Slashdot first:

| You could win a great computer by making a cool image. POV-Ray is a free multiplatform ray-tracing renderer with source available. To celebrate POV-Ray's tenth anniversary some hobbyists are having a contest, and they convinced a few sponsors to donate some nice goodies. Check out the Hall of Fame. |
A long time ago I was on a science fair team that used Pov-Ray in conjunction with a Beowolf Cluster to win first place at the national Science fair. From what I understand we were the youngest group of people ever to create a Beowolf Cluster successfully, (we were all 16-1 . It's just nice to look back on fond memories. |

uhhh its where computers are networked together, and the main computer divides out tasks to the smaller peon computers and when the peon computers are done with the data they send it back to the main computer...
complicated i know but thats why were so proud of our accomplishment! |
