Id guess they are running Opteron cpu's, maybe up to 8 core. So that means 50-100 machines in a cluster. 1600 / 50 = 32 gb per machine OR 1600/ 100 = 16 gb per machine.
And that does not preclude them using Dual Socket MoBo's with two - 4 core Opterons.

8 cores = 2-3 cores + 4 GB for the game's cpu and memory requirements and 5-6 cores + 12 GB to model a GPU with dedicated memory access. Not sure if GPU modelling has ever been done before, but I bet its possible with that much cpu access and memory. Games used to run with software graphics acceleration back when I was in grade school. I remember I bought my first dedicated graphics card back in the Voodoo 3 days and could start selecting "Hardware Acceleration" in PC games.
You can always write someones name in on the ballot. Even though what you say is true, I still think its irresponsible to give up on voting if you ever want it to matter again. When voting apathy gets out of hand the government may decide that "Hey, no-one is voting anyway, maybe we should just have property owners be the only people allowed to vote", then the only people who would be voting on this would be people who didn't give up on it.
The GRE was the biggest joke of a test I have ever taken. It did nothing to test my capabilities. It only tested whether or not I actually bothered to purchase the prep materials from the private company that administers it.
I suppose a jammer would be the best option if you have money to burn, but you would need to test it real well and also need to consider the fact that it may interfere with other classrooms. I would just not allow Ipod-touch, cell phones, laptops, ect. The Korean student that dropped the course is very suspect since certain iPods, i.e. the most popular one, have the capability of browsing the web and chatting with friends. I would wager that she has someone she knew she could cheat off of by chatting with them. There is no other reason to drop considering a new electronic dictionary is cheaper than an iPod the majority of the time. You can give them an acceptable list of calculators and electronic dictionaries. I had to buy a special calculator for the FE exam and 100-150 dollar textbooks for all of my Physics courses in Undergrad and I was perpetually poor in spite of these expenses. I didn't even go to an expensive university and I was in-state. I don't see why these students shouldn't be able to afford a different electronic dictionary that cannot be used as a cheating device. Go off of the requirements of something like the FE exam.
Its supposition based on how Muslims from various parts of the world get all worked up over stupid shit. Look how many Muslims protested around the world over 50 people threatening to burn Korans. This is people protesting something happening over 5000 miles away to a book in such wide print that it doesn't put a dent on the numbers of Korans in existence. Not to mention its not even something happening two blocks from their house. I am getting tired of people claiming tolerance when they are so intolerant. I do not believe every Muslim is like this, but a significant portion of them are. Suppose I decided to build a shrine to "The Holy Warriors of the United States Armed Forces". If I built it here in the US, some people would be upset, some people would laugh at me. No-one would tell me I couldn't build it if I chose an appropriate location and followed city ordinances. If I built it pretty much ANYWHERE in the Middle East I would have a shitload of Muslims pissed off at me for doing so and I would probably wind up dead. So, even though in principal I agree that there is no reason a Mosque should not be built near Ground Zero, I also don't like hypocritical crap that people spout out. In particular, people seem to think you have to be more tolerant of Islam "just because" when its as ridiculous as any other religion in my book. Why should it get special treatment?
I think if the situation was reversed, and some Christians were building a Church near a place predominately Muslim, and it so happened Christians not affiliated with the Church builders had previously attacked this land and killed thousands of people, it would end up being a shit show all the same.
Sure thing. If everyone shared your sentiment around 1775 there would have been no American revolution. It would have been in violation of a multitude of charters and I guess that means they should have just dealt with the reality of it and accept their role as an English colony. Point is, why should we have a treaty if it enables jobs to be sent overseas? Your signature is complaining about how jobs existed under Bush, so if my solution would not work through some other reason state it rather than attack it based on some warped view if legality.
Im not saying that the iPhone is unbeatable. Hell I own a HTC Eris myself. It just think Microsoft is being ridiculous and premature considering every Windows phone and PDA I ever owned or witnessed was a piece of crap.
In other news, Some dickhead sells out to law enforcement with knowledge which is actually beknownst to many others. He has no more knowledge than any other person, but he is more willing to sell what he knows for personal gain.
Im in no sense of the word an Apple lover. However, I do like their products. I simply will not pay for them because they are too expensive. You can buy similar hardware (from my favorite company HP or even many others such as Asus) for so much cheaper its absolutely ridiculous. Most Apple fanboys will say "Oh yeah, well it wont last as long" but that is simply not true. Not to mention, these same dickheads buy a new Apple every two years anyway.
MacOS and the software it comes with actually are quite good, way better than Microsoft alternatives. Linux can be very good as well, especially the free software available you can download direct from repositories through your GUI. Since so many people contribute to Linux as a platform it seems to me that its very hodge-podge. I think that you have to be much more educated than average in computer science before Linux becomes completely useful. Don't get me wrong, I can use a Linux command prompt and do all the time to run code on a cluster, but it sucks having to read through pages of documentation to do something that should be simple. Ive run into problems with various software many times that I had to wade through documentation to get results. That being said, I have an Ubuntu system I use regularly.
Overall, I think that Apple makes a solid OS, but I think that if they really want to claim that "PC's are dead" they need to lower their god damn prices.
Ive noticed most people begrudgingly deal with Microsoft because they can't afford the premium Apple charges, or they play video games, or Linux is too confusing for them. I use Ubuntu in a dual boot, but holy shit some of the configuration I need to do at times for software and other things is such a pain in the ass to deal with at times. I have no idea why there is not another alternative.
HP makes products that work as well. Asus makes products that work as well. Acer makes product that work as well. Apple doesn't have a monopoly on making decent computers at the hardware level. Apple just makes prettier looking ones (and HP is 90 percent caught up in that regard with the Envy's) and pairs them with a great OS. I actually really like MacOS, but I simply do not want to pay 500-800 extra dollars for a computer that it supposed to work with. Throw in garage band, and other iLife software, maybe you could consider it a 350-650 difference. Still, MacOS is simply not worth that premium when you don't have a money to blow. Until Apple drops prices you will see the majority of people purchase PC's from manufacturers that use Microsoft OS'es. If Apple charged less of a premium for their products over PC's you would see people flock to Macs in such large numbers that Apple wouldn't even be able to keep up. I promise I would buy one.
Dude, I am not really an Apple person, but I seriously doubt a Windows based phone will bet able to take down the iPhone. The funeral aspect just makes Microsoft look like a bunch of twats.
What if you do not agree with copyright law? Should we not disobey unjust laws? Im not saying download every new release and not pay for it. What I am saying is that media companies are literally trying to control every path you get your media from. If they had it their way you would have to buy the DVD, and then also buy digital copies for your computer and then after 5 years you would have to renew your license to view it. Meanwhile, if you show your video to other people in your household, you would have to pay a "viewing fee". You could not simply rip it off your DVD to watch it on your computer or let your friends borrow your movies like most people agree is fair. Media companies do not give a rats ass about fair use of their material, they just want to nickle and dime every aspect of it. I actually purchased many albums in the past, but one day all of my CD's got stolen. Should I not be allowed to download these songs again? I already paid for it once. Copyright and I.P. law is flagrantly corrupt. Everything is derived from something else, you are able to produce your works, are inspired to create your works, and profit from them because society exists. You owe your work back to society at some point.
Thats actually not true. If they have sufficient proof that its possible you did something illegal, they can only search areas of your house specifically outline in a warrant. For example, they can't tear your entire house apart without discretion if they have a reason to believe you are hiding illegal substances in a wall safe. The problem with this in particular is that an IP address is not sufficient "proof" that any particular person is breaking the law. Any computer connected through a router, or wireless router to an internet connection could be the offending machine. Too often this law is abused by sue happy lawyers trying to extort money from people in settlements, since it costs way more money to defend yourself than to just settle. Even if you did absolutely nothing wrong you still may be forced to settle for financial reasons. What it boils down to is that this ruling is a blatant attempt at allowing these lawyers to continue abusing the law for profit.

It could probably run crysis 2 on a hundred virtual machines at the same time.
Except those in the DEA. They are quick to try to dismiss arguments that are anti-drug war. Why wouldn't they be? Thats the only reason they exist.

And furthermore ... My comment was meant to illustrate the fact that Muslims would get just as worked up if the situation was reversed.

I protest the building of all churches.

A violation of any number of free trade treaties.
What is right is not necessarily what is legal or agreed upon in the form of a treaty by someone who supposedly represents you.

Step 1 : Get pregnant
Step 2 : Give birth
Step 3 : Get your child vaccinated
Step 4 : ?
Step 5 : Sue the shit out of those who vaccinated your child with an argument based on pseudo-science and PROFIT
