when is 786 comming? by stonebeat.org · 2004-07-12 03:03 · Score: 0, Offtopic

in my universities days, we used to read that 786 will come soon, and it will seperate the floating point processor from the main CPU. Did that ever happen?

Who remembers the Missouri Mule either? by gelfling · 2004-07-12 05:35 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Yeah I remember those huge assed 'overclocked' Missouri mules we brought over to France to make up for all their mules we ate while fighting the krauts in the trenches of The Great War (not that pussy WW2 shit). Yeah we never needed no damnfangled tractors. Yoy kids nowadays with your John Deere's and such. Shee-it, we had to FEED those mean fuckers and let me tell you that's a lot harder than turning a damn key and shouting at all the mexicans.
