are we counting moroccan-canadian?

oooh oooh nice

i don't get it...

advertising my survey in my signature

Yeah no... she looks young...

Appeal just wore off as I find out her birthday is 1973 I shouldn't have tried to find out.... Anyway... picture bump!

Yay! Toobs beat Tomb Raider... It was kinda short actually. Only took 6 hours of good game time.

Waaaaaah!! :'( I'm stuck in Mexico and I'm farther ahead than anyone else I know so no advice from them. Boo boo boo. I think I'm farther ahead than the folks writing the walkthroughs too.

So. Friggin. Hot.

What is protein folding and how is folding linked to disease? Proteins are biology's workhorses -- its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out these important functions, they assemble themselves, or "fold." The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, in many ways remains a mystery. Moreover, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious consequences, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers and cancer-related syndromes. You can help by simply running a piece of software. Folding@home is a distributed computing project -- people from throughout the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest supercomputers in the world. Every computer takes the project closer to our goals. Folding@home uses novel computational methods coupled to distributed computing, to simulate problems millions of times more challenging than previously achieved. What have we done so far? We have had several successes. You can read about them on our Science page, on our Awards page, or go directly to our Results page. Want to learn more? Click on the links on the left for downloads or more information. You can also download our Executive Summary, which is a PDF suitable for distribution. Also, you can learn more by watching recent seminars (Stanford BMI ; Xerox PARC). One can also help by donating funds to the project, via Stanford University.

^^ Is she wearing panties OVER her shorts!!!??? lol More Lara <3

i'm flirting with the idea of vista more and more every day... i got some direct x 10 hacks to run under xp but it's not doing it for me... methinks i'll be using my msdn password to get server 2008... apparantly it's the same kernel as vista... which is excellent... but it doesn't have all those bs features that made it run like crap.

Dude links a bunch of Play Station 3s into a cluster... http://www.physorg.com/news92674403.html Play Station 3 uses IBM's Cell processor which is a multi-core CPU consisting of one generic core similar to x86 complimented by 8 accelerators specializing in floating point calculations... http://domino.research.ibm.com/comm/resear...innovation.html As everyone already knows... AMD no longer uses a Front Side Bus, even though current Intel CPUs are outperforming AMDs in benchmarks, AMD's new technology, Direct Connect Architecture and HyperTransport are still in it's infancy. AMD CPUs, no longer bound by the front side bus now have direct access to the system memory, direct access to each other in multi-socket systems, and to each other's memory if their own memory proves to be insufficient. In 2006, they announced that they would be giving Original Equipment Manufaturers (OEMs) access to their HyperTransport layer in an initiative called Torrenza. http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=3649 IBM takes advantage of the Torrenza architecture and clusters AMD Opterton CPUs with direct connections to each other and accelerates them with their Cell CPUs. They implement this into their supercomputer dubbed "Roadrunner". In May 2008, Roadrunner becomes the first supercomputer stably maintain performance at over one PetaFLOPS (1,000,000,000,000,000 FLoating point Operations Per Second). http://www.ibm.com/ibm/ideasfromibm/us/roa...609/index.shtml ATI (now owned by AMD) announces a beta version of Folding@Home that utilizes the GPU instead of the CPU. ATI boasts that at certain applications, 3D image generation being the most obvious, run 100s of times faster on a Radeon than even the fastest x86 CPUs. Stream computing used in Folding@Home is another one of these applications. http://ati.amd.com/technology/streamcomputing/folding.html Torrenza excpected to hit the market in 2010, I'm friggin excited as heck. ATI, having all the knowledge AMD has to offer on multi-core processing and Direct Connect architecture, will have one of the first coprocessors available for Torrenza. If IBM so chooses, they may also release Cell processors for Torrenza. Other manufacturers of FPGAs which are customizable processing units such as Sun Microsystems with OpenSPARC and Altera with Nios II, are expected to release their own products for the Torrenza platform. In otherwords, the Amiga has been reincarnated!

So.... who you gonna be rooting for when you upgrade? I'm partial towards AMD... at first I was kinda bummed they had to take over ATI because I'm also partial towards nVidia but the new ATI X2s are just killer. They do alot of special calculations hundreds of times faster than CPUs that either Intel or AMD x86 chips can ever dream of right now. They even have a special version of Folding @ Home just for ATI chips. It's insane. It's litterally going to be millions of times better when Torrenzo hits the market. I don't think Intel's CSI development is gonna realistically be able to compete with Torrenzo... It's prolly gonna hit the market at least a whole year after Torrenzo comes out and by then HyperTransport is gonna be on yet another generation ahead. It's gonna be sick. ATI X4s running in AM3 Sockets... Direct access to the CPU. It's gonna obselete EVERYTHING including PS3.

Tomb Raider Anniversary!!! <3

Hahahahahahaha! Cotton!!!

Lara... Teeheehee :heart:

Tomb Raider Underworld <3

Tomb Raider is no mere game! It is the feminine divine appearing to us in the form of pixels and polygons! lol. Yeah... I'm not gonna upgrade again until 2010 or so... http://www.hardware.info/en-UK/articles/am...and_Intel_CSI/1

I haven't opened the shrink wrap yet Studying... The demo runs excellent though. I'm not sure if underworld will run well on that It was slow as heck running on my Dell E6400 with min settings. That's Centrino 2 Duo, 3 GB PC5300, 7200RPM HD, and Intel GM45 chipset.

Hair with either too much or too little junk in it. lols. Tough call though. Kerr is just bubbly in her personality. It really projects into her work.... but I guess she does pull it off. I agree completely with the Angelina Jolie thingy... I just saw Gone In 60 Seconds again just a while ago. It was playing on TV. She had some really cute vibes in that movie from time to time.

hows your hardware bra?

Let this be a lesson to all you young boys out there... NEVER FALL IN LOVE. EVER. Especially when you're a full-time student in university. All you'll ever do is think about her all day, want to be with her all the time, go places and see the world with her, and do whatever it takes to spend time with her. You'll just sit with her for hours doing nothing but looking at her ass all day when you should be studying. You'll spend money you shouldn't have spent on her but you were happy to do it anyway. That right... I pre-ordered Tomb Raider Underworld and downloaded the demo to see how it runs on my computer. Should have been no problem. We're talking Athlon X2 4200+, nForce 570 chipset, 2GB of Crucial DDR2 PC6400+, Dual nVidia 7300GTs in SLI, and a 10,000RPM Raptor X. Parallel graphics processing, a CPU without a front side bus to hinder it, specially timed memory to run perfectly synchronized with each other, the fastest consumer grade hard drive available. This will kill any game out there no problem. Except when I tried to run the Demo, it would crash my beautiful PC each time. Oh how I could not bare the irony of not seeing Lara. We've been together for over 11 years now but still, the sound of her voice is every bit as exhilarating as when we first met. Possibly even more. So unfortunately, for my wallet, I did what any guy would do... too overwhelmed by the fuzzy feelings that only the most wonderful woman in the world can give you, I went out and bought some upgrades. I got myself an Sapphire HD4670 and a pair OCZ 2GBs with heat pipes... The game runs perfectly. This is some of the most intense graphics I've ever seen in the game. It's so much more than high bit texturing. We're talking polygons in the billions per map. Actual ocean waves in the water... ripples even. Lara actually gets dirty when she rolls around in the dirt. She gets sweaty. Her movement is more realistic than ever. She'll put her hands in front of her face if you're running her through a bush. She can shoot two targets at the same time now. She can jump on a tiger's head, do a back flip off of it, and shoot it. She stomps on giant spiders. That's right... actual melee action. It's rumored she has over 2000 animations in this game. I believe it. I took her to a cliff overlooking a cove and kept jumping into the water from like 50 feet... cannon balls, belly flops, swan dives, double twists... they actually got some gymnasts to come in and do motion acting for Lara. I'm so friggin excited for this game. It's coming out on XBox and PS3 too... not too sure about Wii. Wii barely ran Tomb Raider Anniversary. Too bad I don't have time to play it
