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:

What I can't seem to wrap my mind around is that you don't get the concept that a lot of us on here have an extremely solid background and understanding of what computers can and will be doing.

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.

Possibly because it's not demonstrated in anything posted by the very people saying "I know a lot about computers".

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.

hmm, maybe you should reconsider that. and I am not referring to me specifically as I know my limits, which would be framed around my BSCS, microsoft exchange and sql certifications. But there are definitely others on this board who do know, and truthfully, you simply don't sound like any of them.

If you're basing my computer knowledge on what I post here then I can see where your problem is. You are aware that this is a Redskins forum, not TechNet, right?

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?

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.
