    Isn't that a bit, you know... redundant.

    Yeah, but a lot of it is down to politics. Persuading the powers that be to set budget aside for a new cluster may be difficult. But sneakily (or semi-sneakely) running around with a usb key, installing stuff is easy.

    Besides the pointy haired types wouldn't have a clue about such things as power consumption.

    No implants for him. The will power to say no to 4 million offers a day, given his sizable capital... I guess it's not his only quality that may be described in that way.

    And yes, ladies, he's all natuaral.

    The problem is that it's incredibly slow. Running any command on a network drive takes ages.

    It's just that heat dissipation difficulties are causing CPU manufactures to scale their processors horizontally i.e. dual cores, the Cell.

    In terms of No of transistors/Overall performance we're still on target. Just look at how powerful Cell is.

  21. Not true on Genetic Testing For Geekiness? · · Score: 1
    I personally wouldn't want to have a deficiency in any area, especially such an important one. I'd rather be good at the thing that I love to do and at least competent in everything else.

    Some people suggest that anyone with high enough IQ (or whichever measure of intelligence you want to use) is certain to have some form of autism. Again I don't subscribe to this. Lots of people with brilliant minds are neurotipical (non-autistic). Take Kasparov for example, clearly uniquely intelligent, but doesn't seem autistic at all.

  22. Don't know about Einstein on Genetic Testing For Geekiness? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Newton was clearly autistic (judging by historical accounts) and so was Edison. I'm not sure about Einstein.

    He didn't show any typical traits such as repetetive behaviour or social oddities. He was a loner, but that doesn't necessarily make him autistic.

    from your bio

    ... I hate sexiest men, who are afraid of intelligent women.

    So, ugly blokes are fine then?...

    Also,

    I made some research to find a correlation between IQ (the intelligence quotient) and AQ (the autism-spectrum quotient). The results pretty much speak for themselves.

    No, they don't.

    You've got more (or at least equal number of) people with (allegedly) high IQ and lowish AQ scores, than the other way round. So the correlation, based on your results, will be close to zero. I'm sure there may be link between IQ and AQ, but your "results" do not show it.

    #!/bin/sh
    [ 0$IQ -lt 150 ] && kill -9 `ps -U $USER Oj -o pid | tail -n1`

    Now, that's just low ;)
