[Beowulf] clustering using off the shelf systems in a fish tank full of oil.

[Lux, Jim (337C)]

And this is why PCBs were used instead of oil.  No burning, much more
chemically inert.  Too bad there's inevitable manufacturing contaminants
which are carcinogenic in very low quantities, and because they are so
persistent, cause problems for a long time.

Oil does spoil, after all.  Slowly, for good insulating mineral oil (they
put anti-oxidants like BHT, BHA, or alpha-tocopherol in it), but it does
degrade.

Silicones are essentially inert and don't really spoil, but are a LOT more
expensive, and have other disadvantages (real hard to remove with a
solvent, for instance)
