  1. lots of weather modelling is based on lookup tables. The fudge factor for the "uh, this is what we think it will do"
  2. That was andrew's meth lab.
  3. One of the models is IO bound, and one is cpu bound. And all the post processing is IO bound.
  4. disk io is definitely a bottleneck for me on the above referenced system
  5. the reason I haven't tried it is it looks too trendy vodka-y. Pure marketting.
  6. Al, that ardbeg box looks different from mine... How's the Ri?
  7. Yes, it's a given that an 867mhz pb g4 is too slow to do what you're wanting. But given that it's what, 6 years old now, is that really a surprise?
  8. Lobby to create a new league, maybe you can get the habs and leafs to split off. The way to get a good team is to build one through the draft. The leafs have spent years trading their picks away and signing stupid contracts. They got what they deserved. That's what happens when you have a retirement fund manage a hockey team by committee.
  9. The rangers have done better with avery in the lineup than without. He's a new york kind of guy.
  10. hockey trade deadline radio
  11. The duet and the mini work fine if your external storage is usb. And you can buy the discounted previous generation mini for a fw400 port and full sized dvi (tho the new one comes with an adapter). Really, this shouldn't disuade you from a mini audio system.
  12. It'd be pointless to have that much speed for a music server, tho. You're not going to push that much bandwidth for any music task. I use it for weather prediction
  13. there's one hooked to my tv It replaced the appletv when boxee dropped hulu support. The appletv moved to the kid's tv
  14. I used a sony picturebook for a year. It's a compromise I'm ok with. I mostly use my macbook on my desk, where I could just as easily use my mini. For everything else, the netbook is perfect.
  15. But the boondoggle expenditure is 1.7x the cost of the entire war.
  16. I think the problem is that what they're doing is descriptive rather than predictive. And alarmist to generate funding. That worked really well, NOAA got $170 million for climate research in the obama boondoggle.
  17. I'm seriously considering getting a netbook to complement my mini, and ditching the macbook.
  18. [url=http://www.macmall.com/macmall/families/new_promo~dp~7761257~family~macpro~promo~2.asp]MacMall
  19. No, the previous base had 2 dual core, now it has 1 quad.
  20. awesome
  21. People said that about firewire too... but even if they do, there are LOTS of good keyboards out there. You're not limited to what apple sells. I like the smaller keyboards, honestly.
  22. They're actually $300 less than the old ones.
  23. They sell full sized and compact keyboards. And you can use any bluetooth or usb keyboard. Not sure what the problem is.
  24. No doubt. Not a chance that show will be worth $1000.
