East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’
a’we gonna do what they say can’t be done
We’ve got a long why to go and a short time to get there
I’m east bound just watch ol’Bandit run
Keep your foot hard on the peddle…son, never mind them brakes
let it all hang out cause we’ve got a run to make
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta,and there’s beer in Texarcana
and we’ll bring it back no matter what it takes
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’
a’we gonna do what they say can’t be done
We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there
I’m east bound just watch ol’Bandit run ……
Old Smokey’s got them ears on, he’s hot on your trail
and he ain’t gonna rest ’till you’re in jail
So you gotta dodge him…. you gotta duck him
You’ve gotta keep that diesel truckin….
just put that hammer down and give it hell
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’
a’we gonna do what they say can’t be done
We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there
I’m east bound just watch ol’Bandit run

the irony…
 More than 150 passengers and crew have been rescued from a stricken tourist ship after it hit ice off Antarctica.
yes…
The M/S Explorer is now lying on its side close to the South Shetland Islands, in the Antarctic Ocean.
someone needs to call geeksquad, maybe they’ll dispatch the rescue ship… firefox 2.

NASA’s new SGI Altix system is expected to be installed in August at the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) facility at the Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif. The new system will be the first supercomputer to operate 2,048 processor cores and 4TB of memory under a single copy of Linux(R) — creating the largest Linux single system image (SSI) in the world. A larger SSI can accelerate scientific research by making all of the system’s processors and memory available to solve a single problem, or several problems at once.
Driven by 1,024 Dual-Core Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 processors, the new system will generate 13.1 TFLOPs of compute power. The system’s dual-core processors allow more computing power per square foot, enabling NASA to pack more computing power into its supercomputing center. NASA also acquired an ultra-dense 240TB SGI(R) InfiniteStorage 10000 system to efficiently handle the massive data storage requirements.
