...Well, technically no. An oxymoron is used purposefully and should only
have two terms due to the greek etymology of the word. Paradox should be a bit more
subtle. So, I think "user-mode clustering" is more a contradiction in terms. In fact, I think it is pretty ugly :-)         

                What's that I hear? Deafening silence?

>>> Satisfied?

...Ah, yes, the the deafening silence was not music to my ears.
