General 'whatever'.

Probly not the most exciting news but its kinda cool. IBM's RoadRunner super computer has broken the petaflop barrier. The sound barrier. The four-minute mile. The moon. So many milestones that once seemed insurmountable are now written in the record books of human and technological achievement. Now IBM has added another to that list: the petaflop. A milestone in perspective IBM’s latest Roadrunner system, designed for the U.S. Department of Energy and its Los Alamos Lab, is the first supercomputer to achieve performance at the petaflop level. The accomplishment was announced today by the U.S. Department of Energy in conjunction with the U.S. National Nuclear Security…

this might have been better in the philosophy bit, but i don't want it to get too high brow. just general natter. so what is a community? once upon a time, I thought a community was any group of people who were talking about the same subject in the same general area. but I don't think this is altogether true. upon spending a little bit of time in another place recently, I started to realise that you can't have a community based on people alone. there needs to be a draw. people visit various places for various reasons that are personal to them. so if I am part of a community in real life, it is because i live in a certain area and frequent the same landmarks.…

In true nerd fashion, I thought I would post the above question...Guyver not included, who are your top 3 favorite characters? Do you read their book, watch their shows, etc? Mine are below! 1) Spiderman. I have an extensive Spidey collection going all the way back to AF#15. I do not own every issue of Spidey, but sure do have a lot. I dig him because he's a lot like most of us. Money\relationship\balancing life issues. All the while being the hero. 2) Usagi Yojimbo. What can I say here? A samurai rabbit. Awesome art and story. Stan Sakai is a hero. I have every one of his adventures. 3) Black Beetle. Full of noir greatness. Only lasted about 5 issues and I am…

Hey, sorry for posting in the wrong section again. It's just i posted a similar thread in the 'Guyver' discussion thread and one of the admins move it saying he didn't know where it belonged and it ended up in the 'General' discussion so i assumed it was alright. I don't personally see anything wrong with speculation. I'll remember where to post next time! Cheers.

I'm working on a video series about the Sci-Fi Channel (sorry, I can't bring myself to use the channel's current name). Here's Part 1 of my video: Let me know what you think!

I own a HP dv9535 laptop. It has two 2.5" 120 gigabyte hard drives (combined 240 gb). The Primary has everything you need to run the computer and the Secondary is just there for space. I have been thinking of replacing the Secondary with a larger 320 gigabyte hard drive (combined 440 gb). I have already removed my secondary to see if I can remove it without affecting the computer. I started it and nothing went wrong. Now the big question are there differences between one manufacturer to another? Like would my HP be capable of taking a Samsung? Now, my idea to have the computer recognize it is to do a system recovery and save everything I want to keep on my external hard…

I'd like to have some phrases translated into Japanese, and I'm fairly hesitant to use Google Translate for anything but my own amusement, so if anyone could help me with this I would be very appreciative: Thunder Lance Thunder Whip (Ice) Crystal Bullet (Ice) Crystal Flight (of arrows)

Iron Man movie trailer Who else wants to see this? Anyone else notice when they played the song "Ironman" in the trailer? XD

Honestly, I didn't think the show looked all that great to begin with.

So this is a thing.

Now, if you do not know the book, the Da Vinci Code is about tracking down a cult that essentally preserved the bllod line of Christ. This book involves Da Vinci through the cult he, Isaac Newton, and a few other esteemed people were involved in during their lifetime. Part of this has to do with the Last Supper Painting an the Louvre in Paris. I will not give all of the details, but Robert Langdon must solve a murder mystery and hunt the killer while he himself is hunted... Anyway, the reason why I brought this up is that they are all ready in the planning stages of the movie and are scheduled to start shoot late 2005. ron howard is directing along with Tom Hanks pla…

I believe it to an extent until it starts getting you into trouble with the wrong people. Although I don't think being honest 24/7 is always the best for your mental health. Often friends and family ask me to keep a secret and if I were super honest, than I don't think I would feel it right to keep secrets as they are a form of lie. However, I'm half and half. I decide whether the truth is appropriate or not for the situation. So I will say it varies based on the situation.

Ok Matt, you know how I said what they were doing to the old water tower? Well, it made it into a magazine. Oh, and everything on that pic is from the origional article except the block of text at the bottem. Apparently it was added by someone who understands my torment. I'm just surprised they didn't make any comments about the Jetsons.

So what are your thoughts about public bathrooms? They can get a bit rough can't they? I mean with the vandalism on the stall doors and people wiping and smearing their feces on the wall. There are just some places where I'd rather find a tree. Do you think a dirty bathroom can be bad for business? What about you?

Another legend gone. May he rest in peace.

Is it the gravity from the moon or the reflected light? If a werewolf actually lives on the moon will it constantly be a wolf?

There are many movies coming out this Christmas season that I want to see. This trailer was premeired at Resident Evil: Apocolypse when my friends and I saw it last night, and it shot to my top 5 must-see movies of the winter season. You need Quicktime to play this trailer, but it looks incredible. Frighteningly incredible. http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/white_noise/

Would anyone mind that is fluent in Japanese translating something for me from English to Japanese? I would like to say something like The School of The Mighty Dragon God. I know this is really random to ask, but I am trying to create a stable for my wrestling game and I am trying to come up with a really cool name for it.

Im having a little bit of a hard time getting this type of math in my head (mainly the binary division). So i was wondering if any of you guys know any good websites that deal with this sort of think. Ive tried to find some books in my Uni Library but all the books i needed have been rented out

Anyone looking forward to this CG animated feature film? It looks pretty funny, especially with those psychotic penguins. "Someone's ratted us out boys. Cute and cuddly, cute and cuddly" -lead penguin.

So....How was your day? Was it a good one or a bad one? What did you do today? My day has been pretty meh....sort of. Not much going on. Bored out of my mind. That kind of thing.
