IBM Adds Video-Game Chips to Mainframes

Jointly developed by IBM, Sony and Toshiba Corp., Cell is touted as a 'supercomputer on a chip' because of its design, which includes one central processing unit helped by eight additional processors working on specific tasks.

Because of that unusual architecture, Cell's use outside of PlayStations has been limited to specialized hardware for graphics-intensive functions such as military or medical applications.

As a matter of fact . . . although I don't have her number I run into her a lot at the local Starbucks and the grocery store. I can ask if she'd be interested in being your bodyguard . . . but dude, I thought you were a Marine . . . what happened? One day at Rudy's (you just knew this was coming) and you turn passive?!?!?!

In that movie and a couple others, yes. If I met her in real life and she looked like that pic... eh, I'd pass.

I for fantasy Claire, not real life Claire.

Screw it!!! I'm back here in the sticks, they'll kill all you city slickers first, that'll give me time to organize and prepare a defensive strategy with intentions of a mid battle turn around to an offensive strategy. I'll bush whack those bishes with my small army of outlaws and renegade miiltants.

I'm about to join you in the sticks and I say why wait till the s**t hits the fan to devise your defensive strategy (turning into a grand offense)? Plan now.

I just realized why I'd pass on this version of her... it looks frightningly similar to one of my ex's.

I ain't going through that again...
