  1. Re:Overclock it? SLI? on Hackable Microcontroller-Powered Valentine's Card · · Score: 0

    I bet that if we put them in SLI (aka you duck tape 500 of them together) you can play crysis! how many women can say that their valentines day card can do that?

  2. Re:what base? on February 13th, UNIX Time Will Reach 1234567890 · · Score: 1

    eh, i guess, im just trying to make the point that people when people come across patterns or sequences that they make a big deal about them, and especially in cases like this the only reason the sequence is significant is because we choose to use base 10 math and say if we had chosen base 8 then 12345670 would have occurred a while ago, and even at that the '0' is just notation, idk where this sequence would occur but -1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-90 wouldn't be right, im pretty sure we dont use negative zero so it just seems to me that we should leave the '0' off or at the very least wait until 9876543210

  3. what base? on February 13th, UNIX Time Will Reach 1234567890 · · Score: 0

    this is pretty insignificant, if we used base 13 math we'd get 168a0865a ,only special in base 10 which doesnt mean much, just silly human standards

    negotiate/possibly bring something to the table that amd/intel have not came up with yet

  5. I ate your mom on Human-Animal Hybrids Fail · · Score: 1

    puts a new twist when you say, "I ate your mom last night" ..."on a bun with your aunt porky"

  6. Re:1.6M Processors, but only 1.6 TB memory? on IBM Building 20 Petaflop Computer For the US Gov't · · Score: 1

    200,000 octcacore xeons would not be unreasonable, unless they are counting cores like in the newer nvidia cards in which case it gets much easier to imagine 4096 cores per rack

  7. Re:and just for old time's sake... on IBM Building 20 Petaflop Computer For the US Gov't · · Score: 1

    dont forget cores, sounds like they will have more L2 cache then actual ram

    file server - Dealer
    database - booky
    router - bouncer
    etc.

    should be easy enough to figure out

  9. Why just cellphones? on New Law Will Require Camera Phones To "Click" · · Score: 1

    why not make it so that it is obvious anywhere you are that there are cameras present, i mean obviously the black bubbles in department stores and airports are easily spotted, but why not make it illegal to have any type of "hidden" camera, do all cars with the back up camera need to make an obnoxious noise now? how about hidden cameras at someone's home, business, etc? do i need to have my computer make a constant tone when I'm on video chat? what about just normal digital cameras, they are no bigger than cell phones, and without the flash you may never know they went off. This law is synonymous to the DMCA, there are people who will circumvent DRM one way or another, and there are people who will circumvent the camera noise one way or another, this only inconveniences the honest consumers.

  10. Re:Oh what a long, long fall. on Seagate Firmware Update Bricks 500GB Barracudas · · Score: 1

    time, as it does with everything else, no institution has ever withstood the test of time, governments on the top of that list, but with respect to a company, the founders die off/retire, the original ideals no longer enforced, or we could just settle on this being a corporate fuck up that will happen at somepoint with every company, or MAYBE its a new feature so that your data cant be stolen... In recent news, the white house uses seagate drives to store all official emails and record official phone calls
