It can sence launches on the other side of the globe, track them as they assent into space, launch and intercept the warhead before re-entry . . . but can it run linux?

Imagine a Beowolf cluster of these ( c )Slashdot.

They're not going to use Windows NT? ;-)

Showing the "blue screen of death" would surely bring down incoming missiles!

Hey, I'm for ANYTHING that will help THAAD actually hit something. Patriot and Standard missiles are doing great, but THAAD needs all the help it can get.

I have an investment in Concurrent (CCUR).

It's a very cheap stock that has not been a great performer but may have a good future.

It's a very cheap stock that has not been a great performer but may have a good future.

The reason is mostly their other business. They are one of the two top suppliers of the servers and software for what I believe is the future of TV- Video on Demand.

Mmmmm, up to 11 PCI slots in 32b, 64b, or express. That's a lot of DAQ hardware.

Is that the old CNCR (concur) technologies? I made a pot load of money shorting that one. We used to call it "sinker" (cnqr). It was WONDERFULLY overpriced at about 43 dollars. I rode it down to almost 7. Looks like it is doing better these days.

No. Not the same company.

This is Concurrent Computer (spun off from a whole series of companies going back decades )which has also had several bad years but I'm betting it's not a bad speculation at current prices.

I believe a lot in video on demand as the future of TV and hope this company gets its share in server and software sales.

Its "Real Time" division sells these mission critical applications. They had news today about another win concerning helicopter trainers.

But as usually perverse, the stock is down- so far- on the news.

It's a strange frustrating investment but with some huge potential and persistent takeover rumors.

True, but it had a nice little run the last few weeks. Seems to be a case of "Buy the rumor, sell the news." These penny stocks can drive you crazy with the price action. What is really amusing is to watch someone hawking technical analysis try and announce on these things. I am pretty heavily in a couple of biopharmas (mcet and pphm) and I get a chuckle out of these clowns announcing "support" at 60 cents or "resistance" at a dollar twenty, when 20 million dollars could buy either company, or both. It is all raw spec down at these levels.

Red Hawk, what is that, another free copy of Red Hat? So the Chinese can rip a free copy over the internet, and rename it "Red Flag" too then huh.

Lockheed Martin is Chinese? Or did you mean to say "An American company can use it to build better products to defend our nation"?
