"On April 3, 2004 University of San Francisco will host the first Flash Mob Computing computer, FlashMob I, with the purpose of creating one of the Top 500 Supercomputers on the planet. You Can Help!"

Here's the link: http://www.flashmobcomputing.org/

This sounds cool. If you're in the SF bay area, grab as many computers as your can and help build an ad-hoc super computer. The minimum requirments are a AMD/Intel 1.3GHz or equivalent, 256mb RAM, 100 Base-T ethernet, and a CD drive. You can bring as many computers as you want, and the whole thing will be done with Knoppix Live-CDs with configuration and benchmarking software.

For those who can't come, the Knoppix ISO will be available for download with instructions in the future so that you can build your own super computer.
