  1. Re:24 million hours? So that's.... 2,500+ yrs? on Lithium Air Batteries Get Boost From IBM and DOE · · Score: 1

    Not sure if I like this method of measuring processor usage since a project that took a million hours in 2001 wouldn't take a million hours in 2010 but that's what's in the article.

    Usually the value of a cpu-hour depends on the current cluster hardware. At NERSC I think they revalue the cpu-hour annually when they allocate time for the next year. http://www.nersc.gov/hypermail/all-announcements/1013.html http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/accounts/mpp-charging.php

  2. Re:Males are not a population on Human Males Evolve At a Faster Pace Than Females · · Score: 1

    For example, if men tend to do more dangerous jobs (soldering, firefighting, etc...) this means the selective process among males is different, possibly harsher.

    It's a shame how many people die in freak soldering accidents.
