You suppose I can pick up any chicks with this?

Nah - just shows you aren't ready for commitment.

:D:D:yes::yes::rofl::rofl:
 
That much power and only thirty processes shows you waste time and money. ;)

Besides, everyone knows Chicks dig Unix.

I don't care who you are - that right there is FUNNY! :rofl:
 
I didn't realize I'd strayed into the Technical corner, until I saw the screen shot.

Should I be embarrassed to admit I didn't even get the joke?

If you look at my screenshot under 'CPU History' you will see eight processors. There is not a girl out there that wouldn't throw herself all over me if I mentioned I was equipped with eight processsors. Or at least that's what happend in my dream :(
 
Funny, when I showed my wife our 16-way i570 at work (that's 16 dual core power-5's), she didn't seem to impressed...

Now what I think is impressive is our 7TB of unallocated disk space in our SAN...

"Drooling all over 7TB of unallocated disk space" ... in about 3 seconds flat, I would have that 7TB allocated to Oracle tablespaces and be bugging you for another 20TB ... oh, and by the way, I need another 40G of memory...

If you need another 40G of memory on top of the 112G in the system, you've got oracle configured wrong! :hairraise:
 
Nope, it's configured fine. "I need another 40G" is just a weekly request...keeps mgmt on their toes!

On the other hand, these @$%^$# java programs that the kids are writing nowadays are the biggest memory hogs I have ever seen in my life. I don't know if it's java, poor coding practices or just the way the universities are teaching it, but I can put 500 users on a client/server connection to the database and perform just fine, but 250 java connections brings a big server to its knees.

I'll wager on poor coding practices. Have you traced any of those connections to see what they're doing?

You think that is bad...You should see the .NET app I am dealing with right now. A fairly small database..and three connections to this thing and it will bring a dual processor Opteron server to it's knees.

But apperantly that is to be expected according to the worthless.....ers that wrote it.

That would definitely be bad coding. Don't suppose you have a copy of the source? :)

Previous client and completed contract, but as I recall, there was a lot of connection just to test the connectivity, then a query to select count(*) from a table just to prove to themselves the table existed (a real pet peeve of mine on big tables), another query to select and download to the client a huge batch of records to sort thru on the client and then another query to finally pull down the particular record of interest. I cajole, I preach, I suggest, I teach, I yell and scream and threaten... they just don't listen! and then I implement Oracle resource limits and let them explain to their manager why they burned up 20 minutes of CPU time, multiple gigs of I/O and multiple sessions to the database to update one record.

I wish.
 
All that tech stuff....all they are really interested in is the size of your hard drive and the interface. Maybe available cache too.....:rofl:
 
had to reply, here's one of my domains - the other 8 cpu are in the other domain.

Not only are my 6800's dandy database servers, but you can pop popcorn at the exhaust fan!

Gee, I am such a square. Only having one processor and all...plus I took one look at Jesse's Friends Space and was howling with laughter. I guess I'm getting old. Hopefully my airplane will draw the chicks instead ;)
 
RE: why programs are so danged bloated and slow nowadays....

We've become spoiled. Programming languages are becoming more advanced, letting the programmer simply click a button or type a single command that will do 4 different things. No longer does he have to look into the SDK for that specific command to do what he wants... it's already bundled in another command. Downside? Useless code is being executed simply because it's wrapped with another instruction. But we don't care because our machines run instructions at speeds where an additional instruction or 30000 won't cause *too* much delay. Personally, I think we need to get back to the basics, but with Visual Studio, .NET, C#, etc, we've headed pretty far down the line of not caring about how tight the code is. Hell, the colleges don't even teach an assembly language anymore as a required course. I couldn't even get my university to offer an assembly course as a Special Topics course.

Cue the old timers and stories of trays of unnumbered punch cards falling to the floor.

I know I'm betraying my fellow geeks, but I'd rather take a ratty old 152 over a beowulf cluster anyday.

Well, not punch cards, but on my bookshelf sits a FORTRAN textbook, as well as a C++ text.
 
Ha! I was taught FORTRAN last year in my classes at Iowa State! We didnt really have a book though, some notes from the teacher was about it.

..at your command...


...that's why you draw a big, fat diagonal line on the edge of the card deck. Quick, dirty but effective and beats numbering in workload.

Wow! You just flipped my calendar back 12 years, good old Marston Hall. Engineering 160 or was it 170? CompSci 227, 228?

Second semester of my Freshman year. Marston for Eng160, to Gilman for Chemistry, to Carver for Calculus, eat while walking to the 4th floor of the library for a cat nap, then on to Lagomarcino for Comp Sci 227.

All to become a chicken farmer. :dunno:

I just heard so many stories from professors who made me glad the worst I have to worry about is whether or not I made a backup. No getting halfway through the program and realizing a 1 was supposed to be a 0 and having to redo the punch card (at the least) or redoing the whole set (at the worst)... Ah, technology :D
 
Yea James, Aero E 160 and 161. Also wrote a nice FORTRAN program in my Astrodynamics course to find a trajectory to the moon, constrained by a couple of orbital elements. Repetitive loops do wonders to get lots of significant digits!

William, my favorites are the student running across campus with a handful of cards to turn in his final project. Slips/falls, cards fly everywhere, project ruined.

Been there, done that. Still couldn't put the deck back together in the right order. Not enough precision in the line to get them exact.
