A woman went into a store to buy her husband a pet for his birthday. After looking around, she found that all the pets were very expensive. She told the clerk she wanted to buy a pet, but she didn't want to spend a fortune. 'Well,' said the clerk, 'I have a very large bullfrog. They say it's been trained to give blowjobs!' 'Blowjobs!' the woman replied. 'It hasn't been proven but we've sold 30 of them this month, ' he said.. The woman thought it would be a great gag gift, and what if it's true, no more blowjobs for her! She bought the frog. When she explained the frog's ability to her husband, he was extremely skeptical and laughed it off. The woman went to bed happy, thinking she may never need to perform this less than riveting act again. In the middle of the night, she was awakened by the noise of pots and pans flying everywhere, making hellacious banging and crashing sounds. She ran downstairs to the kitchen, only to find her husband and the frog reading cookbooks. 'What are you two doing at this hour?' she asked. The husband replied, 'If I can teach this frog to cook, your ass is gone.

8/5/2009 by: Theo Valich All the talk about power saving and green computing is nice, but in a way, saving power isn't the only way you can help the growth of the planet. Here at Bright Side of News*, most of us are involved in some form of distributed computing, namely Folding@home, SETI@home, GPUgrid, Milkyway@home and many more. We tend to get in quite a lot of arguments with tree huggers when it comes to lack of understatement that distributed computing does suck a lot of power, since your CPU or GPU will be 100% loaded. Now, Intel has teamed up with Grid Republic and created a Facebook app that explains how to use distributed computing to do a greater good. The "Progress through Processors" campaign is dedicated to expanding the knowledge about distributed computing to new audiences, ones that are not as tech savvy as most of readers on the site. But that doesn't matter - what matters is to expand the reach of distributed computing to hundreds of millions of Facebook users. Truth to be told, this is nothing else but an interface to download the BOINC [Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Networked Computing] client with pre-selected and pre-registered projects [you register and select inside the Facebook app itself]. All in all, this is a pretty simple idea from Grid Republic, supported by Intel. The only thing that nobody will tell you is that using a GPU, e.g. a graphics card is much more efficient than using a processor… hence, why not use both? source |

August 4, 2009 The Einstein@Home search for binary pulsars in Arecibo radio data has re-discovered four more known pulsars. More information on these re-discoveries and four re-observations of pulsar J1903+0327 can be found on the (re-)discoveries page. For information on the binary radio pulsar search please have a look at this page. |
