  1. Running Linux in the CUDA Cores on NVIDIA Releases Source To CUDA Compiler · · Score: 1

    I think if there was a way to run the kernel in the CUDA cores would be awesome. I have a GTX GeForce 560 Ti - 384 cores. That would be awesome even if to use 1/2 of those in the kernel. Even if we used the GeForce 8800 with 112 cores. Wow...this could be awesome to use those for something productive. If you know of a linux that will run in the CUDA cores I would be happy to know about it.

  2. First... on Unpleasant Surprises for Online Real Estate Buyers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yeah that would not be so good to have a house on a busy street next to a crack house...or a brothel...or a bar...or anything else other than a house.

  3. Re:Public benefits of military research. on Future of Maglev in the US Military · · Score: 1

    No, I had not. Strange that I explain something that I have never heard of...maybe I should read wikipeida more :-)

    Why can't we just use an array of permanent magnets to generate the field that is more or less always on. That way the seat or motor is always positioned right where want it - and never have to worry about alignment. Especially, in the case of the helicopter seats, I am sure pilots would love to have the best ride possible and a seat that transfers no vibration from the aircraft to the seat would have to be awesome. Additionally, seats such as this would be awesome in autos, trucks, and basically anything that moves. I suppose at that point an electromagnet would be much more practical but if power is lost then a permanent magnet would be a much better solution.
