Future Computing: Part 1 - Microsoft
12/02/2003 01:51 AM This is the first of a series of four articles that look at the state
of computing as I imagine it will be five years from now -in the fall
of 2008. This week's issue is on Microsoft's vision for its future
software. Next week I'll look at where the Unix and open source
alternative seems likely to go and, in week three, will focus on the
hardware both groups can expect to have available to run their
software. The last of the series will then look at the impact these
changes are likely to have on the IT industry itself.

12/22/2003 05:36 AMA 20-year IT consulting veteran and author of "The Unix Guide to
Defenestration" concludes a series of four articles that look at the
state of computing as he imagines it will be five years from now. The
first one looked at Microsoft's future vision; the second one at the
prospects for Unix; last week's focus was on the hardware. This week,
he speculates about the impact all of this will have on the IT
industry.

Solution Guide for Migrating High
Performance Computing (HPC) Applications
from UNIX to Windows
Solution Guide for Migrating High
Performance Computing (HPC) Applications
from UNIX to Windows
01/03/2004 05:59 AMThis guide is designed to provide process and technical guidance to
help you migrate your existing HPC applications from UNIX to
Microsoft® Windows®, as well as set up the required HPC
infrastructure (including hardware, network connectivity, and software
tools) to run those applications on Windows. It will help you choose
the optimal HPC system architecture for your business, and once you
have made that choice, it provides detailed guidance for you to plan,
migrate, deploy, and operate your HPC system. The guide can also be
used to create a Windows-based HPC application and HPC infrastructure
from scratch, without migrating from a UNIX environment, although this
use is not its primary purpose.
This guide discusses the planning and implementation of four types of
HPC systems on Windows. These are symmetric multiprocessing (SMP),
massively parallel multiprocessing (MPP), a network of workstations
(NOW), and Web service-load balanced systems (WS-LB).

Perl Features of the Future - Part 1
03/20/2003 01:05 PMPerl is somewhat unique among programming languages, largely because
its inventor, Larry Wall, designed his creation to resemble a natural

adapted well to changing circumstances and a growing developer
community. What lies in store for Perl 6, the next version of the
language?

The Past, Present and Future of Web
Services, part 1
The Past, Present and Future of Web
Services, part 1
09/30/2002 01:53 PMWeb services are somewhere around the crest of their hype cycle and
currently the darling of the prevalent media. This cresting is like
that of other technologies in that it precedes full development and
maturity. Web services, an undoubtedly important technology regardless
of media interest, have a good deal of development ahead of them.
Those who find success using Web services will be those who understand
the technology fundamentally: its motivations, the reasons why some
components are winning out over others, and the likely course of
maturity.
For this reason, I start with the history of Web services. This is no
mere nostalgic side-trip: the business and technical environment into
which Web services was conceived, and the various players that have
waxed and waned in prominence in their history to date are likely to
have a strong effect on the future of Web services. You can already
see this happening with developments such as the emerging role of
Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards
(OASIS) as incubator of security, workflow and transaction standards
for Web services. OASIS was once seen as the very opposition to
mainstream Web services. -- Uche Ogbuji

Many BoingBoing readers wrote in to follow up on our posts last week
about churches and tombs built from human remains (
one,
two). Here are a few of the suggestions that came in.
Reader Brennen says, "I stayed in
Prague for a few days this summer, and blogged about a day-trip to
Kutna Hora. The cathedral is spectacular; the ossuary is just weird.
One skull might be shocking - several thousand used as decorative
elements are bizarrely mundane. Incidentally, I'm told that a portion
of the recent Dungeons & Dragons flick was filmed at Kutna Hora." Link
RLD says, "Here are more photos of the Sedlec Ossuary. Very
interesting." Link.
JPA in Portugal writes, "After reading your entries about the churches
in Poland and near Prague, I should mention that in Portugal we also
have a couple of those. The most famous is called Capela dos Ossos, or
Bone Chapel. It is smaller than the ones you mention, but no less
interesting." Link
Joe Goldberg says, "Saw your post on the Kostnice bone ossuary, and I
have a few images of it as well, that capture the scale of what 40,000
dead dudes look like. See: Link,
Link,
And a coat of arms made of at least one of every bone in the human
body: Link."
BoingBoing pal Quinn says, "Even I have a set of pics from the ossuary
outside of Prague, with a couple of shots up on flickr: Link."
And reader Zizkov in
Czechoslovakia writes, "Read about the ossuary on BoingBoing. I
visited it last year and found it macabre and grotesque, though
perhaps not quite as grotesque as the gambolling snaphappy backpackers
(mainly American) who were there at the same time. I'm not exactly an
ancestor worshipper but I found the general visitor behaviour, uh,
distasteful. As I recall, entrance was 35 Kc and a photo pass the
same, that is, around $2.50 all in. Many individual opinions available
at virtualtourist.com
(search keyword: ossuary). For those interested in ossuarys, here is
another in Rome: Link<
/a>. 4,000 Capuchin friars (I passed this one by when in Rome). Merry
Christmas -- or whichever festivity you may be celebrating."
Thanks to all.

Mark Gallagher says, "I used to live near a cathedral in Germany that
was situated on the narrowest point of the Rhine river. This area was
a pretty popular spot for armed conflict throughout the ages even as
recently as WWII, when Patton made a fuss about pissing in the river
there when crossing on the way to Berlin. Anyway, the story goes that
the local cathedral always had kind of a shortage of hallowed ground
for burying people due to all the medieval bloodshed, and at one point
just resorted to warehousing a lot of the fallen soldiers to make way
for more traditional burials for VIPs. I can't seem to find my own
photography, but here's a link to a good one. I'm going to say that
it looks a lot more impressive in person, but here it is: Der Beinhaus in Oppenheim."
