Blue gene uses a totally different architecture, which shares little besides the instruction set with the 970. The same goes for the "real", not HPC servers, which run on Power4+ or Power5, which also has nearly nothing in common with those chips.
Maybe Jobs ditched PowerPC because those parts were finally here after all that time, and didnt keep what was promised?
A 14W 970 sounds nice, but its another series... what performance downsides does this sudden energy modesty come with?
And the duals: Not yet available, but promised from 1.6-2.5Ghz.. after marketing bullshit reduction, this means 1.6, 1.8 and maybe 2.0 soon, 2.5 Ghz maybe in a year or so. And how about the termal issues? Its nice to know it can powerdown one core, but this sounds a bit like the thermal throttling that came with willamette: A hotfix for a problem disguised as a feature...
Which at least causes them to see nice stars at password prompts, compared to somebody within "the system" being able to perfectly copy the online identity of any employee of the company.
They didnt really break it, but they sorta jumped into cold water.... Back when WoW came out, there were large patches, with 100.000s of users, which led to things comming to a crawl. Overloaded trackers, non-connections, ect. Made a bad impression, but i was suprised that the last patches worked quickly without any problems, so i guess they ironed out the process.
really interesting is how much they used the hardware possiblities: There Power-nodes where equipped with 2GB RAM per Processor, and the peak memory usage during the simulation was 1970MB (per node)
The whole thing feels like it was created in flash... Takes ages to start (on a A64 with 1GB RAM), looks like a flash video, gives no option where to install (i didnt even find a entry in \program files, no idea where it went), and now as i try to kick out the crap, its spends over 5 minutes "configuring the uninstaller"... No matter how smart the idea may be, the conversation into a computer program sucks.
no, its not. And if you first sentence represents what you think dark matter is and why you think it is postulated, you should take a MUCH closer look at cosmology.
There is for example the anisotropy of the background radiation. Without those wimps self-gravitating while the interacting matter was still in equlibrium, there would have been no chance of the universe "clumping together" that quick.
Also, recently some structures of the higher energy band of the background radiation are suspected to be the result of the decay-series of those weakly interacting particles, as predicted by the theory of supersymetry. http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0405235 (sorry for the plug, but i know the guy from freshman days:) )
So its "pretty obvious"? I guess thats in the same class as "its KNOWN the earth is flat"... So please give me a proof, or at least a good theory, why there cant be particles that dont interact with the strong or electromagnetic forces and have large mass? We SEE the results of their gravitation (and not just with the galactic rotation, but you cannot really do cosmology ignoring them), so who are you to claim them a "hack to make maths work"? (btw: maths work really most of the time. The trick is that the result should represent reality)
Already done... Sombody converted all georeferenced Wikipedia articles of the german version into such a file.... Flying around the earth, and having a click on mountains, rivers or cities open the wikipedia page in the lower window really feels like playing real world civilisation:)

Thats not parallel computing, that is pipelining. But still fascinating, as it is used in modern cpus for the very same reasons it was used back then, only on totally different scales....
What you are saying was perfectly correct even 3 years or so ago.
But case in point: My Athlon64 computer doubles its wallplug powerdraw (including everything:PSU, Mainboard, HD, ect) at 100% load compared to idle desktop (ok, cool%quite helps pushing idle power down).
The cpu IS the biggest chunck besides some high-end GPUs (and even those need MUCH less power when idle), and modern cpus need 3-4 times as much power under full load compared to idle.
Really. It took me a LONG time to come to this conclusion, mainly because it scared my away with the whole "file parsing" concept, but it has tons of features, high quality output, good TeX integration.
No, 4.5 tons. But the penetration power is still quite good, because all momentum is initially directed into the ground, very much like it is with a shaped charge.
btw: The pictures are just breathtaking... on them it really looks like 4.5kt (which is a testemony of the amazing light collection power of current telescopes and quantum efficiency of CCD arrays)
thats the whole point! It has the relative velocity, just to smash a reall big hole into it. The analysation will be done from safe distance using spectroscopy.
Are you sure you want to buy three million two hundred and twenty one thousand eighthundred and ten shares a 9 dollars and 31 cent for a total of twentynine million ninehundred and nintyfive thausand fiftyone dollars and ten cents?
Not all orders are even shares, especially if somebody buys (for example shared for a million euro in dollars).

Had he been a MOO3 fan, he wouldnt have to do anything.
Because without a patch, only hitting return results in winning sooner or later...

With google, its "cool" that they demand stuff other than the "boring usual" ones...
With microsoft, its arrogance...

Well.
Its because they absolutle exacly know what is going to happen, simply because of the choice of starting parameters of their simulation.
But as their is no reality to compare with (for those future), there is no scientific value to it.

reiterating that old lemming myth doesn make you look smart, you know?
Yeah.
Because its SUCH a great idea of having a default pipe for executing remote code without user intervention build into your OS.
