fairychild Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 5614: my friend, look, using the world's largest computer power for finding a way how to kill humans most effectively is SICK. this is beyond darwin, this is beyond evolution, nature and any ethnic and moral legitimation. check this out: http://www.thocp.net/hardware/nec_ess.htm i dont know in detail what they are doing with their machine but at least they try to PREVENT people from dying.

Sayonara Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 5614 was advocating using the computer to reduce casualties. In any case, using a computer to increase casualties would be no more "sick" than using a brain to carry out the same task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairychild Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6745422/ "My job ... is to ensure that the nuclear weapons in the stockpile are safe and reliable," said Bruce Goodwin, associate director for defense and nuclear technologies. "Safe means no matter what you do to them they don't go off when they are not supposed to. Reliable means that should the president ever have to use one, it will work exactly as it is supposed to."

123rock Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 I saw somewhere on the net that there are gonna be 5GHz processors cooled by liquid nitrogen. Does anyone have any recent, or any info at all on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 It's pretty much inevitable tbh. In 40 years they'll be old hat (although the fabrication technology will no doubt have to change.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have any recent, or any info at all on this? it already exists!!!! see: http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20031230/index.html and there is a cool video of it too which is a recommended download.

Asimov Pupil Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Would you really want a computer permanently embedded in your body? Reminds me of Isaac Asimov's book Foundation and Earth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairychild Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 processors cooled by liquid nitrogenwouldnt it get a bit annoying if waterdrops are precipitating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed84c Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Why not set the computer to do only 'good' things than 'evil' things , sure if it is powerful enough to do huge amounts of calculations then why not calculate alternate ways 0f saving people from having them resort to war, themore sensible way in saving lives . you never seen wargames? Almost didnt turn out very well for Human Kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 wouldnt it get a bit annoying if waterdrops are precipitating? well there will not be a lot of water vapour in the air will there? just normal levels esp. as you tend not to keep computers in rooms which are water-vapoury. plus the liquid nitrogen is stored in a container, whilst it possible a tiny bit of water precipitates on the side of it, normally it is insulated to keep the cold in so it would be absorbed anyway.

syntax252 Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Why "teraflops?" Why not terahertz? It was kilohertz, then megahertz, then gigahertz, and now teraflops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 "hertz" is used to specify the clock speed of a CPU. "flop" is used to measure the number of flating point operations; I think 1 flop = 1 floating pt. operation per second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
