Oh, and FYI: Global warming is a myth, hydrogen doesn't burn, Polywell or Focus Fusion is the future of fusion, the Big Bang didn't occur, and John Doe from Podunk, Illinois has just discovered something in his garage which overturns Dominant Paradigm X.

Reminds me of a John Doe who went head to head with Stephen Hawking http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Susskind http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susskind-Hawking_battle

Comment 2 Cores/CPUs and Up. (Score 1) 336

The major problem still out there is Programmers need to write their applications to support SMP.(Symmetric multiprocessing)

Sure I loved my Dual Pentium 2 and 3 boards back in the day. You would always see one CPU idle Unless you were running multiple Applications.(multiple tasks at once)

But, if you want to get the most performance with one program it needs to be programmed the correctly to use all these core efficiently. Like the way you use the MPI and MPI v2 Libraries for Clusters. (Message Passing Interface)

Exactly, CUDA has become a major player in the field of supercomputing. Just like IBM's PowerPC/BlueGene systems. With support for Floats/Doubles and amazingly fast math functions and tons of data in Matrices, the only other way to do all that math fast is a FPGA or a PowerPC chip.

You would be suprised who makes up anonymous.
It always reminds me of the following line from fight club.

Tyler Durden: [to the police chief] Hi. You're going to call off your rigorous investigation. You're going to publicly state that there is no underground group. Or... these guys are going to take your balls. They're going to send one to the New York Times, one to the LA Times press-release style. Look, the people you are after are the people you depend on. We cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances. We guard you while you sleep. Do not... fuck with us.

I for think it is funny to see "Project Mayhem" take form.
