  1. This is a 16 gpu cluster on MIT Artificial Vision Researchers Assemble 16-GPU Machine · · Score: 0

    I think this system needs to be redefined as a 16 gpu cluster. Each gpu card has it's own fully functional 3d generator ( call this the OS ) in it's own rom. In stead of a lan/(i)scsi-bus/optical-fibre interconnecting the cards, they are using pci-express to interconnect the cards. It's even actually 2 clusters, seeing as there are 2 computers in the system with each a cluser o 8 gpu-systems.

    My point exactly, even though I probably overstated it a bit, however to mod me down to flamebait ?
    At the very least I'd expect a -1 for exaggeration.

    Well it is at least partially responsible for global warming, so be careful what you wish for as one day it all might come true.

    How very true, but don't forget global warming eventually will cause cancer and kill puppies.

    Correction, causes cancer and killed many a puppy.

  8. Re:Obvious ? on Nintendo Loses Controller Patent Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Just meant to say that many people mistake digital joysticks for analog joysticks
    Just like people forget that the rotary (pulse) phone system was actually more digital then the tone phone system. ( tones are analog, even so far that we are able to reproduce those tones with our own voice ) Even a classic modem is actually using an analog signal to transmit the digital data. Actually ADSL is not that much differen from this, where it not that the tones are to high pitch as to be reproduced by voice.

    Iw ould debate that the first atari joystick was a digital joystick, as it hat 4 on/off positions. So it had 4 positions that where either 0 or 1.

    so you might call the judges district the pat-roll district. Even though I dare not question any judges decision.
    Nintendo should post a countersuit in the united nations as this would seen a human rights issue. What do you mean I cannot countersue ?

    Contact the SETI network and offer it as an extra receiver. Or find more people that own one, and create a distributed radio telescope (or join the either the us or the global network of radio telescopes).

  19. FUD on Estimating the Time-To-Own of an Unpatched Windows PC · · Score: 1

    This is just yet another FUD to get people to use VITSA.

    Don't get me wrong I dislike any microsfot product as much as the next guy.

    But I'd rather have microsfot continue developping windwos PX then have everybody be FUDded into buying VITSA and giving Microsfot even more undeserved money.

    But it would seem that now that microsfot' FUD machine is no longer effective against the likes of Ubuntu, they are using the same tactics towards thier own biggest userbase. Chapeau microsfot, here's to your own pawnage, by your own means, what am I saying, by your own FUD network.

    Look at the giant snake eating it's own tail.

  21. Gravity well between earth and distant galaxy. on Newly Discovered Young Galaxy Creates 4,000 Stars Per Year · · Score: 2, Interesting

    maybe there are several gravity wells between our galaxy and the other one that accelerates light at such a pace that we are seeing the whole history of that galaxy at once.
    Wasn't there a post here recently that spoke of the speed of light having been faster in the past? Which would mean that the maximum speed of light is not a constant, and can thus be accelerated.

    Yes one star for every 2 hours and change... All life in that galaxy is probably fly based. In the relativity theory you could say that an hour in our galaxy is relative to a couple of bilion years over there.. But in all fairness: finally those shows that try to relate the lifetime of earth to a 12 hours period are outdone by a galaxy.
