Re: All things Science related. λν = c
More amazing stuff computers CAN do.
NSA in Bluffdale, Utah Under construction by contractors with top-secret clearances, the blandly named Utah Data Center is being built for the National Security Agency. A project of immense secrecy, it is the final piece in a complex puzzle assembled over the past decade. Its purpose: to intercept, decipher, analyze, and store vast swaths of the world’s communications as they zap down from satellites and zip through the underground and undersea cables of international, foreign, and domestic networks. Bear in mind that just because you can't wrap your mind around a concept doesn't mean someone else hasn't already got something incredible up and running. But these mother****ers would blow your mind: Last edited by RedskinRat; 06-15-2012 at 01:16 PM. |

It's amazing to see how far they have come in such a short time, but with that said, there are certain bounds that have not yet been reached, and are far murkier even if and when they are reached. |

I'd compare it to a bunch of bumpkins standing around the Palace of Versailles trying to rescue a duck, a rooster and a sheep from a basket back in 1783, but that's just my take. |

Re: All things Science related. λν = c
so is that your way of acknowledging that your computer related posts have been less than informative, even when asked by some fairly qualified individuals?

Re: All things Science related. λν = c
Yeah, it's actually deliberate. I'm in the same field and I dislike the elitist attitude most tech people adopt. To be fair I dislike any elitist attitude unless its mine.
