I go away for like 5 minutes, and return and there are 3 new posts!

Too bad the idea got scrapped! But, now we know (and I can actually sleep at night)!

I dunno. Segways are pretty cool. Kinda ghey, but pretty cool.

Not worth the hype. Dean had a great idea, but it shouldn't have been so trumpeted up.

what are you guys talking about? just an idea or are we talking about like a 4000 node AthlonXP 2500+ OCed to 3400+ super linux cluster?:D

Mattman

01-13-2004, 04:52 PM

I think that's exactly what they're talking about. An [H] supercomputer to stomp all other supercomputers. I heard it was actually TWO 4000 CPU machines! :eek:

Mattman

01-13-2004, 04:55 PM

Oh, and they're mojo powered, which is environmentally friendly and highly potable!

mojo powered? i'm lost???:confused:

Mojo is just another name for a fuel additive. It's ethanol based. Relic has a unique method of mixing it to directly power AMD cpu's, and paint walls at the same time.

And along the lines of the secret - I thought that relic et. al. were coming out with a new line of super efficient, variable sized furnaces. Based on mojo cooled AMD CPU's (with the mojo in a containerized system) it would be easy to add a few extra blades when the temperature dropped. Being ethanol based they would probably be tax deductible. And you could drain them in the spring to fuel your summer parties.

ha! i wish :(

you buy me 4000 axp 2500+s and 4000 amd boards, 4000 128mb dimms, etc...

and i will find a way to fit them all in my house... dont know how... but i will find a way

and lots and lots of cat 5 and loads of switches, would have to run a small nuclear plant in my back-yard

would need like some giant beast of a net-boot server with like 15k RAID0 and GigE uplink to the backbone switches when all the machines turn on

would need a T1 just to upload/download all those WU's

So my wife wanted to know how the team met, talked, planned, and all that... thus I showed her the forum, she liked the layout and asked what else (besides technical things) people would talk about... "The Mojo Story" seemed the best symbol of our posting prowess. ... she laughed and then wanted to know how often we run into things like that. .. and what FSB was :D perhaps "upgrades for folding" won't be a tough sell after all :p

First time I read that I read it as

My wife's only worry is that her check is in the mail.

What a shock to see what it really said :) That's my girl's only concern as well, email and simcity need to work.
