Do you go out of New Years?
Nope, don't do it anymore although we did go to a big bowling party last New Years. I found it rather risky playing bumper cars going 60mph trying to get home :slapass: :wierd:

No I don't hate kittens! But there is a very long story behind those signs. For those that have been here longer this might help Rodzilla.Quote:

If you have enough spare parts around to repair a cruncher, you have enough spare parts to build another one. In my case, I have everything par a PSU. In other words, I have a cruncher that's missing a PSU (New Toy in my sig) :p:
How many points per day do you think an E7200 at ~3.8 Ghz would do?
Eller
Digging out today as well Mr_Slinky ? :(
I have soo much crap & I keep buying more.
I do have 2 backup CPUs, but just dualies. I'm trying to figure out if I can afford to get another Quad going. I mean, I have the board & everything else, just not the CPU. I've had my eyes on the Q9*** series for a while just to see what they can do.
Did you do any other Distributed Computing projects prior to WCG & what was it?
:DOH: Ninja post
Eller, I'll have to pass on that because I just have not participated enough to know benchmarks for WCG yet :(
Nah man we only got maybe 4 inches of da white stuff. That only took 45mins to shovel and do off my car then re-shovel the parts around my car.Quote:

What do you regret most in life?
I regret nothing so far. I'm still young enough to be able to afford to make mistakes. So far I've seen everything as lesson for next time, not sure how long I can keep doing that, probably for another decade or two.
Do I need to make a Christmas card by hand for my girlfriend if I already made another present by hand for her?

No. I work with men.
Do you own any hardware that lets you watch Blu-ray/HD-DVD movies in 1080p apart from your PC?
No & to be honest I don't see it necessary to watch movies in full HD. Sports, on the other hand, is just a totally different experience. I've got all the HD channels with cable right now.
Would you admit you watch quite a few reality shows such as American Idol, Survivor & the many others that are on now?
I watch Idol every season & don't know why. Right now Intervention has me.

Socially.

What's your favorite saying?
Last I checked, 18 isn't old. What I meant was why measure 1.337 instead of pure 1337?:shrug:Other then if it's a voltage reading... ;)Quote:

Eller
i7-920, TRUE, two Yate Loon fans.

I only restart when I have to. There used to be a project called "Uptime". Had a Windows XP Pro machine that was up for like 260 days straight or something like that.
Speaking of updates.. do you install updates on your Windows boxes?
only security if it is needed.
Do you do quick format or full format on a fresh install?
Quick format normally but ocasionally full format.Quote:

I really don't drink anymore, but when I do have an adult beverage it's usually at home, so I'll say family.
-Ninjas-
Love Maiden!!!! I've seen them about 6 times since like 84' & plan to take my boy to see them the next time they come through town.
Chicken, Beef or Seafood?
oooooh ninja posted.....
A. No I don't like Iron Maiden. (who are they again :p:)
B. I would say when you feel comfortable walking around naked in front of them...... all day, even when your sick.
Do you normally travel during the holidays? If so where do you go?
Heavy metal is torture - used to break Gitmo inmates.
As for being naked - there are some things you just don't want to see. Dingleberries on the dog are one thing . . .
I don't travel at all if I can avoid it.
Have you ever watched anime :banana::banana::banana::banana:? What kind?
Only by mistake.... THANKS 4Chan!!!
Gas or Charcoal?
Gas only because if I am using charcoal I would be drunk by the time the food was ready.
A movie you want to see over Christmas?
The remake of the Day The Earth Stood Still..Quote:

Just give it to me and save your self the headache

I try to buy chips that have Micron RAM, but I'm not a bencher so I really don't favor them over others. I love to buy $20 2x2GB RAM as an impluse lol!!! I have 4 sets in the basement doing nothing right now :(
While talking to somebody, have you every used a Chat Acronym in conversation like OMG or LOL?
I've used "WTF?"

1024x768 on a 20" - and I can read it without glasses - so suck on that you young whipper snappers.
What is a whipper snapper?
An young-in.
And no, I mean my friend Hilary from Puerto Rico. I think I need more time around her and more time around my sister to differentiate the two personality-wise.
Would dating a girl that's going to be 20 in January be weird? Mind you I'm 18.
Nope, Go for it. :up:Quote:

What's the most you spent on anyone this holiday season?
I got my 2 grandkids we are raising a Wii + stuff to play on it. Around $350 in all of it.
Are you running out of questions? I am.
No, of course I am not.
Have you ever been credited for something good you didn't do?
No normally I always got blamed for things that got broke.
Do you think that your house can go green and still be able to crunch?
All I do is plug my computer into my wall socket, if the energy supplied is green on the other end, fine with me.
Is there something wrong when I have to buy my present for myself with my dad because it's too complicated (you have no idea how complicated it is getting a Blackberry in Switzerland) and conservative family values prevent me from being able to use it before Christmas?
In the US, Crackberries are considered a "controlled substance" and they're easier to get than heroin. So I'm happy to see at least one country understands the danger they represent to the fabric of society and takes the necessary precautions before allowing young people to get one. (kidding) :D
Is it ok to have pizza for breakfast and should I eat it cold or warm it up first?
Warm it up first. Cold pizza is just weird.
I'm bored. Are you bored?
Eller
I'm stuck @ work for another 8 hours with 4 down all ready. That good enough.
What time is it were you are?
It is 10:15am CST on December 21, 2008. 4 days till Christmas. 11 days until the New Year.

Every day of my life haha
Do you own a smartphone?
I have a LG Rumor but it is pretty Dumb if you ask me :D
Do you go to the movies on xmas day?
No, never. I spend Christmas with family.
Do you work between Christmas and New Year?
We work all year round :(
what do you hope to get for Christmas?
Noctua NH-C12P, Corsair 650TX, 2GB DDR2, HD4830 512MB, and some other crap.
Do you bench for the XS HWBot team?
I don't bench, Can't afford to kill stuff :(
Do you plan to expand your Powa next year in XS DC?
Yes and no. I'd like to cut down on the number of boxes I have to save electricity and reduce heat dump. So if the i7's are really the shiznit and I can get a good deal, I might go that way and try to make up some of the cost by parting out the existing systems.Quote:

Will WCG make a ATi client?
If they make an nVidia client, then there's a chance. I don't think they can ignore 45% of the dedicated market.
Do you think it'll be easy to run x86 stuff on larrabee?
Easy for a coder, not easy like in "look I run my winamp on mah gpu"
Do you have a brother?

Probably New Years even though it's pretty uneventful. I usually end up reflecting on the past year & then hoping that the following year will be tons better. 2009 is going to be awesome for me & my family!
