GPUs are nice, but there's the little matter of getting data and results on and off the chip
This is not a drawback when you have a lot of things to compute on a limited set of data.
As a General Purpose GPU programmer all I see is that I won't have to program GPU FFT myself nor send the data to the CPU then back again to the GPU to do further computation if I have a FFT to perform.
Each time a powerfull algorithm like this is vectorised and ported to GPU,these chips becomes more general purpose and less they are like a 3D accelerator.
a better method would be to sprinkle micro-scopic uniquely identifiable "dots" (with RFID) in/on the computer spares/parts. a central agency can keep track of lost/stolen hardware ID's and flag them whenever they're detected
yeah goooood Idea,
the next step would be either to add those chips in kids brain, just in case they get lost, or to add remote control on these chips (or even both)
I am always sad to see people willing to give-up privacy for security, I'd rather pay for the insurance. My laptop is a *mobile* device, I almost bring it anywhere I go and I don't wan't any local or foreign agency to trace me!
did you try c:\Program files\Internet Explore\IEXPLORE.EXE ??
on win2k with word 2k
I have a warning but it launches IE
I wonder if it works with a samba fs
\\something.exe ??

I don't know this guy but as you guessed he could be a non-native English speaker.
That was my point.

well, may you remind me how to spell rich
in chinese
well some competition is always good, do you want yahoo! to be a new IE?

ok the notepad maybe is harmless, but
what if the attacker actually launches IE?
