Antminers...?

Post: I'm not sure how likely this is going to be, but what are the odds of BOINC and/or Rosetta@home using Antminers for number-crunching? Or are they not designed for this kind of work? :) |

Post: Actually have a team dedicated to this. Join the dark side. Join Club Quirk!... Hehe. Seriously though, Autistic people have accomplished so much in the world, yet given limited credit for it, and appreciate the info. Here's some additional sights to check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MngV2hJPtGQ Just remember this one thing: Autistic individuals don't follow the current standards. We set them. |

Post: Found something else that might be interesting regarding Autistic Spectrum Disorders. Think it might be more recent than most. It even talks about "Techno-toys" a wee bit. :D http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/250706.php |

Post: Not sure if this is the best place for this, but join Cub Quirk! :) The intention of this team is to help people with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (such as Aspergers) demonstraight to the world that we can make a contribution to todays modern society, regardless how big or small the contribution. Even friends and family members are welcome as well, or if you're just curious about us and what we're all about. Some hopes of mine (and perhaps others as well) is to contribute in research around the Shank3 protein strain, and others like it, which is suspected to play a part in ASD. Some online reading material include (but not limited to)the following sites: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-12759587 http://www.wrongplanet.net/ http://www.autismspeaks.ca/ |

Specify which disk to use
(Message 72024)
Posted 9 Jan 2012 by Eric Ogletree
Post: One suggestion that comes to mind, if your HDD is a standard spinning drive, upgrade to a Solid State Drive. I found that there's a huge difference in other applications. In fact, I tested out both configurations. I tested how much time it would take to go from a cold start to playing World of Warcraft. On the older system, it would take 6 minutes and 30 seconds. With the Solid State Drive, went down to 1 minute and 45 seconds. Down side would be the costs involved, but definately something to consider. |

Another Alzheimer's casualty...
(Message 69610)
Posted 6 Feb 2011 by Eric Ogletree
Post: Thanks guys. Kind of weird, though. The grandfather I knew seemed to have disapeared five years ago because of the Alzeimers, but to go to his funeral felt odd. Know what I mean? It's weird, isn't it? It's like the personality of the person who you knew dies, but the physical "shell" of a person continues to function. Don't know if my words are doing it justice here or not, but can definately relate to how you're viewing your mother. The Grandfather I knew was a tough ol' bird, in that he never shed a tear for just anything (except for WW2 type stuff). In fact, we were talking about how he'd be too stubborn to die... After all, hundreds of thousands of screaming Nazi's couldn't kill him, so why would Alzheimers, right? Okay, exagerating, of course about my Grandfather, but you get the point... Hopefully... :D The last time I saw him alive, that same Grandfather I knew just wasn't there. Oh, and one little tid-bit of info I found out about Alzheimer's patients is that after they catch the bitch-of-a-disease (pardon my language, but trying to be honest here), is that the life expectancy is between 3 and 7 years. Don't know if anybody else had brought this up before, but thought it was kind of interesting... |

Post: Sadly, another person died with Alzheimers somewhat recently. My grandfather passed away at the age of 84. In honour of his memory, there's one story that I would like to share with everybody: During World War 2, he served in the Canadian Navy on the corvette HMCS Hawksberry. When my brother and I were young and, well, stupid, we ran up to him and asked him about war because we thought that "war was cool" at the time. The first thing he told the both of us was how he watched a merchant ship with four thousand men was torpedoed by a German U-boat. The sad thing was was that he couldn't do a thing to save any one of them. A bit of a morbid thing he mentioned, was that the last decision that the "survivors" made was how they were going to die: death by drowning, or death by burning, as the oil and desiel was burning on the surface of the water. I know that this is a bit late for Rememberance Day (or whatever holiday everybody else uses to honour their military in the world), but hopefully this story reinforces the idea that we should remember those who gave their lives for our rights and freedoms, and that war, any war, really sucks ass. |
