Password

Posted by B.J. McKnight on Dec 26, 2008 in Funny, General, Technology

A woman was helping her husband set up his computer, and at the appropriate point in the process, she told him that
he would now need to enter a password. Something he could remember easily and will use each time he has to log on.
The husband was in a rather amorous mood and figured he would try for the wife’s attention So, when the computer asked him to enter his password, he made it plainly obvious to his wife that he was keying in….

P

S

His wife fell off her chair laughing when the computer replied:

***PASSWORD REJECTED. NOT LONG ENOUGH***

Is a Dual Screened Laptop a Great Idea?

Posted by Jorge on Dec 22, 2008 in General, Linked, Technology

December 19, 2008 (Computerworld) Lenovo Group Ltd. today announced the release of a ThinkPad laptop that takes the “desktop replacement” category of notebook PCs to a new level.

The ThinkPad W700ds appears to be the first laptop ever to sport two LCD screens — a 17-in. primary and a 10.6-in. secondary screen.

The souped-up “mobile workstation,” as Lenovo calls it, also comes with customers’ choice of quad-core Intel Core 2 processors and Nvidia Quadro mobile graphics CPU with as many as 128 cores. It also comes with as much as 8GB of DDR3 laptop memory and a pair of hard drive/solid-state drive bays for up to 960GB of storage.

It’s all in an 11-lb. brick — five times the weight of netbooks, such as the Asus Eee 701, and at least double the weight of typical laptops — that is encased in the ThinkPad’s trademark ebony exterior.

“This is the nitro-burning drag racer of ThinkPads,” said Craig Merrigan, vice president of global consumer marketing at Lenovo, in a briefing this week.

The W700ds is expected to be available in January starting at $3,600.

What the Jorge? would a dual screened laptop do to help anything? I used a dual screened computer when I was working as a Receptionist because the phone system was computer operated, which is a legit excuse to use dual screens. What other professions is there that could effectively use dual screens? Especially something as potable as a laptop.

A Playstation 3 Super Computer

Posted by Jorge on Dec 18, 2008 in General, Linked, Technology

Physics Professor Gaurav Khanna along with Principal Investigator Chris Poulin from UMass Dartmouth assembled a public guide to putting together a supercomputer with a well known game system.

Khanna took 8 donated Playstation 3’s and made a super computer that he used to solve “complex equations designed to predict the properties of gravitational waves generated by the black holes located at the center of the galaxies.”

A who’s a what-sie?

Want to try to make a PS3 super computer of your own using the guide? Try the PlayStation 3 Buying Guide for great deals.

Graphically Inclined

Posted by Jorge on Apr 1, 2008 in General, Linked, Reviews, Technology

Ashop Commerce

Not am I only a huge Happy Bunny fan, but I love basic graphic t-shirts and babydoll tees.

Idea’s starting running through my mind for t-shirt ideas that I wouldn’t mind buying if they had certain sayings on them. I know there are personalization tools out there that allow you to make your own t-shirts, but I have so many ideas that my mind cannot even catch up to the keyboard.

I had the idea to possibly try and make my own with ecommerce software. I could personalize it with my own design, put my own designs, make it my way and put it on my webspace. That way, I don’t have to worry about doing good buisness because I can still pay for my monthly web hosting fees.

I have a few shopping cart software options picked out that are very workable as far as design. I might experiment around with it to see what kind of designs I can come up with.

Anyone have any ideas?
