    "For the tiny percent of people who have tattoos that cover all the way down, why would they waste money or resources trying to figure out that last barely 1 percent or less?"

    Are you too stupid to figure out Apple runs off of hipster blood?

    "such a fringe thing that it likely wouldn't have been thought up."

    Most of the idiot Apple 'Geniuses' I've encountered have near full-sleeve tattoos going to damn near their palm.

    " B) tattoos that contain metal (which isn't present in most of the ink that US Tattoo artists use)? Yeah no."

    Good job on your chemistry failure.

    Carbon acts like a metal in various situations. It even bonds to metal quite readily. Carbon also interferes with all kinds of things when it comes to light sensors.

    "This technology, while difficult to pronounce, is based on a very simple fact: Blood is red because it reflects red light and absorbs green light. Apple Watch uses green LED lights paired with lightsensitive photodiodes to detect the amount of blood flowing through your wrist at any given moment."

    As my job EXPLICITLY deals with light (as many /.ers can attest to) - BULLSHIT. Blood also reflects some green and blue wavelengths, some red wavelengths get absorbed.

    And that's how you know Apple works purely on fucking bullshit marketing.

    " What matters is that they apparently either didn't think to test it"

    When I worked as an Apple repair tech, two out of every three machines off the line would fail and would require immediate refurbishing.

    I can almost guarantee you that Apple does jack shit for actual product testing - that's what you and your money are for.

    I hope your vendor bothered to check the architectural limitations of the processor you're using. The old Xeon E7 CPUs had a nasty problem where you could run 2CPU/4GPU or 4CPU/2GPU but you could not run 4CPU/4GPU. The E5v2s have the same problem, requiring multiple linked nodes in order to get around the issue.

    And it's been sitting there for at LEAST a decade. Still hasn't been fixed despite many others like myself making note of it and submitting reports.

    Someone else even wrote a nice little blurb about it - http://spiralofhope.com/how-to... Though that one uses a slightly different method (but similar to mine.)

    Supercomputing? HAH!

    Linux is so fucking weak that it can't even support my super-server with 12 GPUs PER BOX.

    Yet, some how, Windows Server 2008 works just fine with ALL TWELVE, rolling Hyper-V and RemoteFX, delivering native performance REMOTELY.

    Pretty sad a nearly decade old server OS rips the shit out of Linux in hardware support AND in usability.
