Flash mob supercomputing: Everyone brings their PC with LAN card,
boots off linux Live-CD with special purpose Beowulf-type software,
and voila -- Insta-supercomputer!

May be we could try such stunts during the install fest?

Q: Do you ever think about quantum computing?  
Linus: I think that's a load of bull.
(From a Linux Lunacy cruise interview. After the presumptuous disparagement
of QC, Linus goes on to confuse it with DNA computing.)
