  1. Re:Saving money on "Home Batteries" Power Houses For a Week · · Score: 1
    nah, it was one of those Saturday morning debate shows.
    As for nuclear power plants, I agreed, we have just one problem:

    In October 1976, fear of nuclear weapons proliferation (especially after India demonstrated nuclear weapons capabilities using reprocessing technology) led President Gerald Ford to issue a Presidential directive to indefinitely suspend the commercial reprocessing and recycling of plutonium in the U.S. On April 7, 1977 , President Jimmy Carter banned the reprocessing of commercial reactor spent nuclear fuel.

  5. Re:Alternative? on An Open Source Compiler From CUDA To X86-Multicore · · Score: 1

    What possible reason could you have to want to be locked into one GPU vendor?

    Hardware, libraries, and Toolkit.
    Cuda was useable way before anything else
    At the Time Cuda came out AMD was using CTM.
    Which is absolutely Painful to use.

  6. Wait wut? on An Open Source Compiler From CUDA To X86-Multicore · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why would you go from CUDA(Fast Floating-points) to x86(slower Floating-points)?
    Is there support yet for double-precision floating points yet on Nvidia cards?
    This makes as much sense as a Wookiee on the planet Endor.
    Unless the Point is portability but, then why write it in Cuda to begin with?

    yeah because some people in "Culture" don't know how to mind their own damn business and worry about themselves.
    Seriously I hate people who tell people how to live their lives.
    Do these people have all the problems in their lives solved to the point where they feel the need to lecture others?
    Do they have all their bills paid? Perfect Driving Record? Perfect Health? Perfect Everything?

    Those are the first words of the sacred scrolls.

    And they made it perfectly clear that we are not alone in this universe.
    Elosha, there's a 13th colony of humankind, is there not?

    Priest Elosha: Yes. The scrolls tell us a 13th tribe left Kobol in the Early Days.
    They traveled far and made their home upon a planet called Earth,
