If I remember correctly, this exact same story came out in the August issue of National Geographic. That might have been their hunch and now they have confirmed it. Still interesting though.
I agree with what you are saying, but, on that same note, if you buy the $1,000 dollar chip, you can overclock it much faster than you ever could a $500 dollar one. Generally, quality = quantity of $. These 2 chips were the closest to $1,000 that I could find and then only reason that they are so expensive is because of the FSB and caches. Here and here.
The fact that some VAX systems haven't had a reboot in 6 years reminds me of a story my HP/Compaq representative told me about the reliability of their Proliant servers. There was a server in a data center that handled user logons to the Novell client. One year the data center was remodeled but none of the servers could be moved because users still needed to be able to log on. So they finished remodelling the room and accidentally walled in the server. 3 years later someone finally decided that it was time to upgrade that server. When they went to look for it, it was nowhere to be found. It was still running after 3 years and hundreds of thousands of logons later. (They finally contacted the remodeling company and figured it out.)
Almost anyone who has played Everquest has found that it interferes with brain wave activity, thus inhibiting higher thinking functions. If Everquest 2 is half as good as the first one. I would be using words much larger than 4 letters for 6 to 7 months.
I work for a rather large company with around 350 HP Proliant servers. They contain a vast variety of important data from customer information to finance. We still use 8mm tapes to keep all of this information secure and on file. We have a massive library of them (Around 250,000) going back 10 years. This is the only issue that I have a problem with, space. CD recordable media is infinitely more compact. Another option we are looking into is setting up a server with 13 250 gig hardrives and specifying it as a DMZ on the network. However, for now, tapes are our primary means of back-up.
I think that they have to leave their house sometime don't they? Plus any family they have, depending on the kiddie's age. Then, when he dies he will have to be cremated at an intensely high temperature in order to kill the smallpox. If he was buried, the people at the funeral home would come in contact with him, plus all the funeral attendees. And don't say there won't be any, there are ALWAYS friends or family.
Um, sure why not start an outbreak of smallpox again after it was sucessfully wiped out in the US. That makes perfect sense, kill everyone who comes in contact with the script kiddies too.
You do realize that most of the hacking done in the world is done by people under the age of 20 right? Hence the term "script kiddie." And the reason people mercilessly execute them is because the are annoying and only cause problems. Ever try talking to one on IRC?
I am really going to resist the urge to flame you right now. If we outlawed science, life expectancies would plummet, so would the nationwide health average, people would NOT be happier when they have to suffer immensly from a common cold, or do you think they will enjoy the risk of dying from the flu? If we outlawed science, the other nations that still practice and use it, would conquer the country and there would be nothing we could do to stop it. Can you imagine a world, where it would be illegal to wear glasses or to explain why an apple falls to the ground?
I don't know about the three breasted part, but everything else sounds good. And if you think about it, how are they going to protect the automated process from viruses, worms, etc. What happens if the "bio-hacker" unplugs the machine? Even if they have passworded security safeguards, all he/she would need to do is reset the machine by manually draining any back-up batteries they have plus the one on the system board. All the power-on password settings etc. would be lost and free to be tampered with.
As with all leaps forward in technology, there are bound to be snags. A recent report stated that only 42% of all internet sites are secure. I quiver to think of the attacks that will be used by hackers to grab people's sensitive work/information. Lets just hope the govenment doesn't try to use this.;)
.......You have some serious issues. And by the way, there is no humanly possible way he could have kept it in his ass for 5 years. He has to eat and s*** doesn't he?
For some reason yet unknown to me, the instant I finished reading this story, I pictured a company's network administrator hugging his file servers while morphing into Gollum.....
*Caresses the file server*......My precious.......
This station cost millions of dollars and months of construction to assemble. Every flight costs between $400 million and $1 billion depending on the load of the shuttle. It is VERY unlikely that they would ever abandon the station before it started to crash into the upper atmostphere from orbit disentigration.

You know...I really wish you had the balls to login and post this.
Um, right. 1,000 terrahertz? ROFL, you must be smoking crack or something. Sure, its possible, if you want to pay a few grand for a motherboard.

Well hate to make you look like an idiot, but it has to be done. Look at the first reply and go to the link.

Nothing. Like I said, it inhibits higher level thinking.
Servers them right. You make crappy software, you don't make money. You don't make money, you have to cut expenses.

No the travelling salesmans' problem is that people want to blow your head off. Wait, no. Thats door to door salesmen.

Wow! That sure was a funny joke! Are you sure, because I could swear right now its marked as a Troll.

It will be interesting to see how many companies buy into this and support whatever solution they end up developing.

Personally I don't know much about BOINC, I will have to read up on it, but it will be interesting to see how the transition goes.
