FIFTY.

 

FIFTY CORES.

 

HOW DO YOU EVEN DO THAT!?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

um... w00t?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

this must be terribly frustrating for you, maw.

 

 

nobody understands my work, either. and the parts they would understand are too sickening to speak of.

 

 

[Aiel Heart]

O.O

 

whoa....

[Leelou]

But...but...how?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

i guess having seen computers go from taking up a whole floor in an office building to being the size of a wee little microchip uner my kittie's skin has made me just expect them to keep going the same way.

[Netbattler11]

but... fifty. currently in our computers we have dual and quad cores. its quite a jump from 4 to 50. and mind is boggled.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

go back in time 40 years and know what mind boggling is. 4, 50, a googleplex. just a matter of degree.

[poetstorm]

Whoa...."1 teraflop of processing power". I'm impressed. That is a big leap.

 

When my husband was an electrical engineer back in 2000, there was talk that having so many components crammed so close to one another like that caused a sort of quantum interference that would make something like that impossible. :D

[Netbattler11]

just goes to show you. I wonder what other 'impossible' things we'lll be doing a decade from now?

 

scary thought. A decade from now i'll be grown up and probly settled somewhere.

 

another one: in a little over one year one month i'll be legally an adult.

 

now, why has this thread not been spammed to oblivion?

Doesn't say me anything.

THAT says me something at least. And I'm impressed too.

Because I wasn't here.

[Turin Turambar]

Everyone was soo amazed about the development that our spamming fingers were in shock.

 

Just think how much faster our spam could be if everything moved 10 to 100 times faster.

[Leyrann]

lol. That would mean something like 15 000 posts in an hour in the 100 000 post thread if you're with three or four people.

[Leyrann]

And I see I almost have 8 000 posts...

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

and i see i have almost twice that

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

and i am shamed and... not shamed. at the same time.

[Leyrann]

You didn't go on LoA for two full weeks. That means I've made 2 800 posts less. I would've been past 10 000 otherwise. And you don't use a colour either...

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

my color is black.

 

if it was necessary to go through extra motions to make it black i might. but it strikes me as silly to go through extra motions to type words. if i want to see colors i can look at the the TV.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

but no, i did not, and will not, go away for 2 weeks.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

barring disaster or death.

[Netbattler11]

Disaster is not good. And it would only increase our spamming speed if we could type ten times faster too. Although I don't think directly linking your brain to your computer is too far away.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

mindflex. it is sorta kinda hereish.

[Nynaeve]

Better than reflux >.>

 

 

 

Nyn

Would be good in the 100 000 post thread. Or the 1 000 000 post thread I want after we finished this one.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

did you post my 5 points for passing you in the 100K yet ley?
