    We should all drive them paintball tanks, I mentioned in my first post, in the UK. That way we can blast the drivers who sit in the middle and fast lanes doing 60 -- I'm sure it would be more effective (and acceptable) than what the congestion charge is doing in London as well.

    Who needs to hunt deer when you could just drive down the road and paintball a few 'hoodys' on your way to work!

    Paintball the deer when the season is closed

    Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented immigrant" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist".

    At the top of my Christmas list...

    Is exactly what I wanted last year, you will have to scroll back to page one to read that post.

    This year I am adding a small pittance of hardware to go with that first item.

    #1 Cray CX-1: http://www.cray.com/Products/CX1.aspx

    Selections I am making for this new confuser:

    Quantity: 1 Enclosure

    Components:
    • CXC108 Chassis
    • Active Noise Cancellation Device
    • 2 x Single Phase Hot Swap Power Module

    8 slots of node, upto 16 processors

    GPU Node CT5401 Slots Required: 2
    Components:

    • GPU Node CT5401 (DP - 1 x GPU)
    • 2 CPUs (2 x Xeon Dual-Core X5270 3.5GHz 6M 1333 MHz )
    • 8 GB RAM (4 x 2GB FBDIMM DDR2 800MHz ECC/Reg.)
    • 120 GB (1 x 120GB 7.2K RPM SATA 3Gbps 2.5")
    • NVIDIA TESLA C1060
    • 4 sets of these

    Total with a few extra comes to just under $50,000





    Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.

    …Pursuit is always hard, capturing is really not the focus, it’s the hunt ...
