There is an article in the current Conde Nast Traveler, that list the odds of dying from various "events", in any given one year period. Odds like that are calculated by past events. The odds would change significantly if a nuclear bomb were detonated in downtown New York and killed a million people. It's like the odds that the Nasdaq would drop 80% were pretty slim a few years ago....

From the inquirer. Xeon-Linux whitebox blades make their debut The future catches up with the present By INQUIRER staff: Monday 03 March 2003, 10:14 A FEW WEEKS back we mentioned that Whitebox blade servers could be expected some time later this year and that they would put the big manufacturers under further pressure. It turns out that we were wrong. The future is here already. We find it interesting that Pan-European company Transtec is offering blade servers for Linux clusters in High Performance Computing environments. These beasts are powered by up to 132 Intel® Xeon(tm) 3.06 GHz processors with hyperthreading that enables 264 processors to be recognised. They also offer up to 792 Gb of ECC DDR memory and of course the high-speed interconnects to match this processor power. One wonders what IBM, HP and Sun think about this situation and what it might do to their future sales. µ * SORRY we originally headed this Itanium whitebox blades. We were even more ahead of ourselves than we thought. L'INQ Transtec
