    heat come from anywhere is heat, period. whether heat come from one GPU or a beowulf cluster GPU, as long as effective heatsinking is done it probably is not related to the question on how much heat it would generate.

    I would say you are probably right on that it would be less than one raedon x1900xt though.. //posting on nvidia based on board display that cost just some $80 for the motherboard...

    no need to talk about RISC/CISC stuff here. one word is enough to describe the speed of OSX under G3/G4 <1000MHz -- SLOW.

    i've been using mac's from '89 (on a lowly black-and-white powerbook) till now (with the iMac FP) and macos X is simply slow on iMac FP (which is running G4 800MHz). I've seen OSX running in G5 and core duo and it's good. but on anything slower than iMac FP (G4 800) i don't think it's reasonable speed. btw my imac fp is running os9...

    i for one do not think that economics is a non-issue here. it's definitely important. if there's no money to aid research then it's almost impossible to get drugs done.

    people who have $100000 to spend with colon cancer = a lot
    people whose MRSA infection can't be cured with vancomycin = very limited

    1. Probably not so much for glial cell tumors though.

    2. that's right that microwaves, given enough strength can cause genetic damage, but probably not at these dose as people like most of us are receiving from the antenna upstairs

  17. Re:Blood-Brain Barrier and wrist-watches on Mobile Phone Transmitter Causes Brain Tumours? · · Score: 1

    1. microwave signal is not at the 10Hz range. Brain cell do work at that sort of range if you do an EEG but that's totally unrelated. Blood-brain barrier is not made of pores that can dilate unless you cook the pores literally.

    2. it's relatively simple to see sun emits more radiation (regardless of the frequency). You don't have to double check, you just have to see whether your skin/hair heat up.

    yes, but that the decrease in excess could be the effect due to the need of genetic predisposition (i.e. by the time it decreases, most who are genetically predisposed get the disease, others don't.)

    Of course the hypothesis above is dangerous, i knew it, but it is yet another possibility one has to consider in these situations.

    just to remind you, there are hundreds of thousands of towers in the world that has those sort of antenna installed. the chance of a clustered cancer related to RF antenna-related to ONLY OCCUR in one single site is, eh, minimal.

    note that you are always allowed to use another [more] reliable database here. they set the price, you bought it, that's economics AFAIK.
