the other random crap thread
« on: April 27, 2014, 01:10:31 PM »
I want this for my next computer
http://hackaday.com/2012/09/12/64-rasberry-pis-turned-into-a-supercomputer/

"It’s not a supercomputer as it can’t even compete with a modest beowulf cluster. Parallel computer, sure… supercomputer, no."
"Back in the day it might be considered as one :)"
"Do you want to compare eniac with a telephone?"

I think it's ridiculous that IT doesn't have a communist party yet.  I am deeply disturbed that I am not running a cluster computer.  If Lenin were still alive then by glorious Marx it would be done.

Is this thread about random computer crap, or random crap in general?

If it's the latter, I am happy to say that I have successfully made it through 30 days of Camp NaNoWriMo and earned a winner's badge. :)

Computers aren't the only random crap out there.  But the Itanium story is a comedic one.

You know processor requirements from XP to 7 jumped by a factor of ten.

Ever since the fall of the devleti it's like they don't have the strength to up and face the sun.

Thanks. :)

I found out there's going to be another such event going on in July. I've already started making story notes for it.

I'd buy Windows 8 for a dollar
I'd probably end up regretting it, but then it's only a dollar

the hottest places in hell are reserved for Windows 8

If I had been indoctrinated into Communism that might be at least entertaining enough to make me appreciate the U.S. education system.

What is the big deal about indoctrination anyway?  We can always reprogram them, or at least that is what Pavlov tells me.

I want to portend that the future of this forum remains in danger from lackluster user activity.

We are no longer particularly in the business of writing software to perform specific tasks. We now teach the software how to learn, and in the primary bonding process it molds itself around the task to be performed. The feedback loop never really ends, so a tenth year polysentience can be a priceless jewel or a psychotic wreck, but it is the primary bonding process?the childhood, if you will?that has the most far-reaching repercussions.
