Sigh... I'm gonna need to set up my 2 laptop farm as soon as I finish moving to my new house. Aug 9th, 09 will be when I hit the 1 million Rosetta@Home credits. Hopefully the Rosetta Team uses SSE or other extensions to hasten this process :D

ummm... funny you should say that... actually, today i did purchase two motherboards (one with four pci-e x16 slots, and the other with three pci-e x16 slots) to go with the seven nVidia gpu's i've purchased in the last two weeks, and an intel q9550 quadcore. still one cpu short. so, that'll be an additional 7 gpu's for F@H (which take up a total of two cpu cores, one on each mobo), leaving six cpu cores (three on each mobo) for Boinc. Once up and running (maybe another month, after I move out of current apartment), I think there may be a *slight* increase in my rac... pengy, post your achivement in the thread that chris linked to, i knew it was around here somewhere.

I saw an article on CNN website about someone who got a Nobel prize for proving that Coke more specifically diet can be used as a contraceptive. At the same time there was someone else that proved it can't be used as a contraceptive. Hows that for a story line. ID: 56217 · Rating: 0 · rate:

Coke worries me. You can drop a really dirty coin into a glass of coke and it will be bright shiny new by the morning. A rag soaked in it will clean your car windscreen from all sorts of muck. God knows what it must do to our bodies.....

I thought that was prell shampoo that could clean oil off of concrete. Coke keeps the doctors employed I guess. Here is how you clean polyester cheaply: Pretreat the oil stains with laundry detergent, possibly a commercial preparation such as Shout® spray or gel, or even Prell shampoo for hair. Then wash in warm, not hot, water. Use the "permanent press" setting for both a washing machine and dryer, if used  Coke worries me.
