SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5 — The National Science Foundation is planning to award I.B.M. a contract to build the world’s fastest supercomputer at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, according to documents that were accidentally placed on a federal government Web site for a short time last week.

Hi All --

I whipped up a service that allows you to get a prediction for a list of
Teragrid machines's total runtime for a particular job size. The list of
predictions comes back in a sorted list allowing you to choose the
TG resource that will be most likely to finish a job of that size.

The service is currently up on my development machine at:
http://rivendell.sdsc.edu:8080/axis/services/TGQbetsServiceSOAP11port
and you can get the WSDL from the distribution or from:

ok, as a mac user, i have this problem _all_ the time. i put a powerpoint talk together and send it to a windows user who then complains that he can't see the graphic images. Windows gives a nice error about not having quicktime or some such thing. Even if the windows user installs quicktime, they still can't see the images. quite annoying.

The root cause are images that are "cut-and-pasted" into the presentation. images that are inserted from the insert->graphics->from file seem to work fine.

A 2.03 minor release is now available from the Inca Web site:
