The Red Belly blockchain is reported to handle 600,000 transaction per second. It was developed at the University of Sydney's school of information technologies.
The problem isn't our dependance on oil, but the lack of a viable alternative. We've all heard the old saying "build a better mouse trap and the world will beat a path to your door". The same thing is true in this case. Sure we could all go out and buy hybrid/electric/hydrogen powered cars if cost, availablity and service stations weren't a concern. The fact is, they are, and until it changes oil is going to be our best source for cheap fuel. Until these alternatives are cheaper, I'll still be driving my big ass V8.
I was diagnosed several years back with ADD (no hyperactivity, which made it harder to diagnose). I've found that plenty of coffee (or penguin peppermints) worked roughly the same as ritalin. It gets very frustrating when I've been on a job for several hours without caffeine, I find it more difficult to stay focused, I tend to jump around from task to task and my overall performance suffers. Worse yet it looks like I'm slacking off. My co workers know that I have ADD, but without suffering from it, or knowing someone who suffers from it, it's hard to understand what a hindrance it can be. I manage to do my fair share of the work, but still wonder what I may have achieved if I was able to stay focused consitently without some form of stimulant in my system. I was capable of performing at a college sophmore level in 4th grade, but never made it past my freshman year in college. Today more people are aware of ADD/ADHD, but very few people understand it, and putting a kid on ritalin seems to be the standard treatment for anyone showing symptoms. I would prefer a more permanent fix myself, but hopefully fewer kids will go through what I did. All we can do is keep on keeping on...
My local cable company is trying to move everyone to digital cable. I don't believe that capture cards support digital cable. Might be wise to wait until there's actually a tuner for digital cable before trying to build a MONSTER pvr (which I'm all for btw). There's always the usb capture devices as well, might cut down on the pci slots you would need.

Instead of counting every vote, why not count every legitimate vote. Too many dead people voting for Dems these days.

I for one won't be watching. I loved Dune, but won't be watching COD or any other movie that uses actors that are so anti-american.
