That's right. A heavy breathing, overweight guy that sweating profusely while taking happy snaps in a girls locker room would look more natural with a camera phone. I'm guessing that you've never done this before.
That's pretty disgusting. Not only for the obvious invasion of privacy (reaching into the bag - not for suspected contraband) but mostly because the teacher never changing the curriculum.
This is the epitome of terrible teaching, to me. The teacher could no longer give a fuck about 'freshening things up' and instead will drone on, with *exactly* the same material, year after year. The kids in the class will pick up on that vibe and will never experience the joy that *can* be found in the material.
The one thing that OpenDX still has, that for some reason the others have not, is an excellent interactive colourmap editor. I use OpenDX to get the colours correct and then export to use in other toolkits.
I agree completely. I have enough monthly bills already. I'm not going to sign up for anymore anytime soon. Especially when there are perfectly good alternatives that cost nothing.
Sorry to go a little grammer nazi on you, but there is no fullstop after Dr. Since the last letter of word to be abbreviated is the last letter of the abbreviation, the fullstop should not be present.
Not that I am, but if I was some home/small business artist/modeller who needed some serious render time to generate the frames of a computer animated movie/demo, I'd be making one of these clusters... It would be perfect for this kind of thing.
If paid from a University account, the University owns the IP. If paid from an account that is linked to the grant, the IP is determined as to the conditions of the grant. The university equipment (machines, internet, power, support, etc) is generally accounted as an "in-kind" contribution.
The university owning the IP is not necessarily all bad. Where I work, everything I produce is owned by the University (not that there is a next google sitting in there). However, if it turns out that there is a gem, the university will then pay for worldwide patents, marketing, distribution, production, miscellaneous administration crap (and I suspect that is a lot), etc. In return, profits are 1/3 to the university, 1/3 to the faculty or division and 1/3 to me. The university takes all the risk not the person producing the goods.
I think this is what happened with Ian Fraser, University of Queensland and Gardasil.
By strange coincidence the guys at the local planetarium have said that I can feel free to use their skydome system (within reason, but I think they are also interested in the visualisation work I do). The trade off is that I have to help the local Astronomy club get their datasets into the existing software - fair trade. But it only handles basic geometry, so I want to port some of my codes to the projection system. The parallel rendering (8 machines, each a single projector) will be interesting.
What I'm asking you is whether you know of any free astro data repositories that I can use to test my software? I'd prefer something along the lines of millions (billions, trillions, etc. even better) of stars/galaxies in R3 with high res images of the same regions (so I can approximate some textures). Know of anything?
I wouldn't mind using this opportunity to leap frog onto the Square Kilometre Array (if it ends up in Western Australia).
What is the fps of the movie we're watching that does the comparison? 60fps? Isn't that a little unfair for a capture that is not a multiple of that? Wouldn't a fair comparison have a 60fps video and a 24fps video merged into a 120fps movie?
They just don't have one of these cameras, they have four. Each pixel will be 2 bytes therefore 11.2GB per shot. Exposure times will be 30 seconds, so that is 1.3TB of data generated per hour.
That is going to be some serious number crunching when you need to compare at least two images. You want to finish all that comparison work (possible alignment work as well) before the following night (14hrs?). The data is going to be stored with Microsoft SQL Server. Storing and retrieving images sure, but when it comes to serving for analysis and storing/collating results, it would be a little too slow? How much can you tune a closed source solution on a tight budget as opposed going for one that you can tinker with to gain performance?
Listen up troll, and you are that. You've posted 5 times in this thread and four have been bitchin, with racist undertones, off-topic. That classifies as a troll. Don't think I'll stand idly by while you call me lazy.
I have a *major* problem when somebody spends a couple of nights in a city and then claims they know all about the locals and their culture. I can understand that you love your NZ, fair point. But don't rag on some country because you had a few minor hickups. Chances are you brought it upon yourself by making the sort of claims you've demonstrated here. I'd also be looking at the sort of people you were associating with to be in those sort of areas in the first place, let alone getting into the situations that you did. Guess what, that would happen in any country you visit when you offend the locals.
Mate, you compare Brisbane to Los Angeles... are you some kind of retard? I mean, your sweeping generalisations are the most stupid things I've ever come across. Six years, your whole stay, is spent in Sydney (from your little/. blog) and you think you know the whole country. There is more to a country (pretty fucking big in this case) than just a single capital city. Oh, what am I talking about, you probably spent a night in Brisbane.
The 10K refers to a rack mount solution containing 4xGPUs. You can still buy a single GPU and try and put it in a standard machine (provided it doesn't melt - I'd read the specs) for about a quarter of the price.
I'll bite. I manage a cluster as well as what I deem to be a supercomputer. In spare time, I'm running codes on them and try to get the best efficiency out of them as possible. So I can show the guys that write their own codes on these machines.
About 5 months ago I told my boss we need to get one of these. We'll get one but have to wait for end of year budget cleaning. See, I also experiment with the GPU (8800 GTX) in my workstation. I had a client at an institute across town that needed to run 8*10^7 2D ffts with local minimisation and was going to be adding another half million jobs each day with the remote sensing devices he had. Our cluster and SMP machine are totally full and a back-log of work 10x the compute power (no free time for about a month). The GPU did this FFT work wonderfully. I rolled out a machine to the institute and computation caught up the back log and processed any incoming work on the fly.
To get this done on the big machines, we would have had to talk to the security guys to open up some ports (reluctantly = time lost) and then would have to figure out some workflow to push the data across the network to process, compute, and push results back.

Cause with Red/Blue glasses you only see black and white. I would take the colour video over the 2.5D/3D effect any day.
Does that mean that we would have the entry:
Whoops (interj): What the species would have said had they the time before collapsing on themselves and their inferior intellect.
In that book thingy with large font printing 'Don\'t Panic'?
That's right. A heavy breathing, overweight guy that sweating profusely while taking happy snaps in a girls locker room would look more natural with a camera phone. I'm guessing that you've never done this before.
Just so you know, I didn't think that was troll worthy. Although I suspect you don't give a crap.

That is the sackable offense.

Well, for one thing, it's illegal, immoral, and unethical. Fighting crime by being a criminal... well, you see where I'm going with that.
He's not in right now; Perched on top of some building wearing his undies on the outside, fightin' crime.

P.S. And (switching to spelling Nazi mode) grammar is spelt with an "a."
Whoops. Thanks for the giggles.

Doctor - Dr not Dr.
Mister - Mr not Mr.
Sorry about that :)

GPUs don't do error detection/correction. Not a desirable feature for scientific models.
Whoa! You mean you have to clck "advanced" twce? 'm gonna have to try out ths wndows os sometme.
Ponts for guessng whch key splt wne on and ddn't get back together properly.

Or, prevent births from those deemed unfit.
You lucky bastard.
Does your role cover the hardware maintenance/upkeep (telescope, compute machines, storage), or the software implementation/number crunching? Or both?
They just don't have one of these cameras, they have four. Each pixel will be 2 bytes therefore 11.2GB per shot. Exposure times will be 30 seconds, so that is 1.3TB of data generated per hour.

That's certainly one way to lighten a conversation getting 'nasty'. Nice.

I wish Australia was part of the EU. Perhaps this firewall business would disappear.
