Wait for it.....

Rechargeable marital aid + DanceCharge strap = perpetual motion?

HMMMMMMmmmmmmm.

I stand corrected for being too specific in saying that it was the GPUs that were being used.

I suppose that I should have just generally said game consoles were doing the heavy lifting.

My bad.

Just thought that I'd mention that there is a pretty interesting article in the 16 February issue of New Scientist magazine with the evocative title "Game Consoles Reveal Their Hidden Powers" by Mike Nagle (p.26).

It is an interesting look at how GPUs are increasingly used by the scientific community to do the heavy lifting that used to be the domain of supercomputers. For instance, the story tells of one instance in which "an array of 16 PS3s is calculating what will happen when two black holes merge".

Game on!

Ummmmm, disregard my previous comment. I am either really tired, or an unobservant idiot.

Finsberg.... Ha, ha..*sigh*

Who is Allen Finsberg?

Have you people been hitting the ethanol again?

I'm just sayin'

How about "Splatellite - your tax dollars at work"!

I didn't even know that you were building a sprog, and a beautiful one at that.

Super-well done, and congratulations to the three of you!

I hope that the world brings you all nothing but happy moments and bagfuls of smiles.

Ornithopters as public transportation? Coooooooool!

"Aligned just so?..

Wait...wait for it...

Nope, can't picture it.

Feh! Nothing wrong with my Ti-84 Silver, and it even plays nice with my Linux box. Who needs nubbins?

There is nothing quite as refreshing as a healthy dose of skepticism.

Thanks Joel

That was incredibly succinct and useful. Thanks Thomas for "cornering" Cory, and thanks Cory for the quick-and-dirty how to (and not to as well).

Am I just not paying attention, or has "Jackhammer Jill" stopped jumping up and down when the page begins to load?

It would truly be a sadder world if she were just a static shadow of her former animated hoppiness.

Lets keep a little reverence for tradition here people. I love bOINGbOING, but I love it more when it hops.

This gives me an idea for what to do with that enormous Microtek "scuzzy" scanner that I bought over 10 years ago, and haven't used in about 8. Now, I just have to find an old PC to shove the SCSI card into...

...

I wonder where I put that CD-ROM that had the drivers on it??...

"Blort"??.. Blort???

I like it! You know it's a good day when you get to add a good descriptive verb to your vocabulary.
