...the need for simulating nuclear explosions...

Thought the effect of an A-bomb were pretty much understood since 1945 and H-bombs since the 50's.

Either way, they go kaboom, flatten and incinerate lots of things and are generally not nice if your on the receiving end...

Granted, gonna piss of the sados at a LAN party!

I thought the national standard for porn was now the Timney?

Will it render Doom3 graphics at decent FPS?

Is there some sort of law for the exponential increase in wrist rate like Moore's law for processors?

If so who is it named after?

Paris as she would get my vote.

If the MTBF for their HDs is 500,000 hours they are going to be changing one of those disks every 4.8 days.

The guys at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore worked very hard to get rid of disks because they were fed up of changing them.

...'Vista Capable' hardware comes into existence...

*ziiiiiiiiiiiiiing*

I'm truly... truly sorry... Just keep the coat...

... A system that can run Crysis at full rez, with everything cranked to high!

:-p

Argonne has nothing to do with nuclear weapons. That work is done at Livermore, Los Alamos and Sandia. The US Congress and DOE have been killing off those 3 labs via not-so-benign neglect for years - don't expect anything like this graphics tool to be delivered to the weapons people. At Livermore they don't even have much of a janitor staff anymore.

Nice tool though - rigged up to a matrix of flat panels for a super-high resolution display you can visualize your computational work very nicely.

maybe at last there is a system that can run Vista at a useable speed ...

only the one Jacqui comment? People lose interest in things sooooo quickly.

Can it understand _WOMEN_!!!!!

Ack, I thought you said STIMulation.

She understands what I mean.

Does no one reading the Reg have a decent sense of wit at all, or even read the end of Reg articles?

Ooo, it can run Doom/Crysis/Vista at an appropriate speed. HAH, HILARIOUS!!!!
