In my early LaTeX days I used MikTeX, it does work well and is worth it.
Though admittedly these days I prefer to use the Windows version of gVim
if I do any work in Windows.

Personally, as a 20-year-old enthusiast of beowulfish interests, I've only
heard of
Mr. Dongarra twice. First from a Swedish mathematics grad student in the
#fortran IRC
channel, talking about the FORTRAN legacy that Dongarra left behind with NETLIB
code.
In particular his coding style was menti

IIRC, the GPLv3 contains a bunch of modernization "upgrades" over the GPLv2.
The only one I can think of off of the top of my head is the "Tivoisation"

That's funny, because I've heard people get scared that it was the complete

I'd work for that much, granted I'm only in my second year of
undergrad studies. It'd only do it as a labour of love though, since I
make more money than that per month on my 4-month co-op jobs doing
various monkey work in various places.

Why a "probable setup" ? I would
I've found some C code that's ready to go with MPI.
It's for doing matrix multiplication. So all that you'd have to do is
find some nice big matrices to multiply! I guess you wouldn't even
necessarily need to know the right answers either.

Wait, we can use openMOSIX and MPI at the same time? I thought they
were separate ideas? For example, MPI for multithreading and message
