i heared this rumor about google building a nuclear power plant to supply thier power needs for thier server farms. The way IR's going I think he'll be doing the same sometime soon

For those Interested about the google rumor, the article is here

Infinite Recursion

Very interesting... for our facility here, we have 4 diesel engines and a battery array. I'd like to see images of Google's server farm, maybe I'll try googling for them

No power plant in design just yet... I have to shake a majority of these systems loose to conserve space (and power) to make room for the baby. Although, I am drawing out some plans for a new office at home, complete with rackmounts and blades... not sure if Teecha will go for that or not though.

Hows about running Folding@Home on some of those dust gatherers, join my team if you want #34241 You could always run SETI or something similar, but I feel that learning about protines and such like will benifit humans more in the short and the short long run..maybe not in the long long run but who knows.. anyway I'm going to get some food. Oh yea I have also just upgraded my Linux PC here at Uni with 512MB more of RAM, giving it a nice round 1GB (and to match all my other computers lol)

I have two machines in regular use. Both hand-built from relatively inexpensive components (yes, I can afford better, but elect not to pay through the nose for more than I need).

2.8 GHz Pentium 4, 1 GB RAM, 80GB IDE drive, Pioneer 8x DVD burner, 11G wireless network card, gigabit ethernet adapter built into MB. Radeon 9200 graphics with 128MB (dual head capable). Running win2K pro.

Dual 350MHz Pentium 2, 512 MB RAM. 4GB IDE drive. Liteon combo drive (CD burner, DVD reader). Diamond CD-ROM. 1.44 Floppy drive. Gigabit ethernet adaptor and 11G wireless network card. 2x80 GB UltraWide SCSI Cheetah via Adaptec 2940U/UW adapter. An 8MB video card (can't remember the brand) that I bought for AUS$1. Soundblaster 16 (!) card. A cheap USB 2.0 card. Running OpenBSD. Several components of this box were scavanged from an older Pentium 90 system.

I use a P3 with .55 ghz. Hp brio ba 600. The main problem with HP pc's is that the servicing is very costly.
