If you have a compatible nVidia graphics card (anything within the last 3 years), you should look into CUDA (http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_get.html). It's got a steep learning curve at first, but it's quite awesome. OpenCL is another option designed to be more cross-platform. Either way, you basically write some code in C (well...C with a few extensions and limitations) and it executes in parallel on the GPU. The current batch of nVidia GPUs support floats with both single precision and double precision, although there is a significant performance penalty with double precision for most applications. With the announcement nVidia made today, though, there will soon be new cards with much less of a performance penalty for double precision.

They don't even have to successfully bring a suit against someone. The corporations are able to throw that money at lawyers and bankrupt the regular people they suspect are guilty. Win or lose the court case, the labels win.

You should go teach the doctors and scientists what they are doing wrong.

I don't know. This makes sense to me. The IE frame spawns processes with less privledges than the user has, when running on Vista. This means plugins that are harmful cannot actually access the hard drive or registry, nor a

Since Chrome does not do this, then yes, it is less secure.

This type of simulation can be and is being done using CUDA. In fact a talk is being given at the upcoming nVidia technology conference on this very subject. nVidia's website won't let me create a direct link, but if you click here and then Session Catalog > Session ID 1036, you can read the abstract.

The old design, even if we could build it, does not meet current safety standards. I've heard it said that, if they knew just how narrow the flight window was for Saturn V, they would not have flown it. I don't believe that's true; but, the mere fact that someone did make that statement, is indicative of how things have changed.
