The Jaguar Supercomputer Puts Real Cat to Shame

Allow me to start this post with some perspective. An extremely nice home computer right now might have a quad core processor, 8GB of on board RAM and a Terabyte hard drive.

This preposterous monster they cooked up in the name of science (FOR SCIENCE!!), The Jaguar, is slightly better than the machine I mentioned before. For instance, they scaled up from 4 cores to around 255,000!! Its got 16GB of RAM per processor, giving it a total of 261 GB of RAM. That goes nicely with its 10,750 Terabytes of hard drive space. Oh, and each of those 192 servers that makes up its storage space can spit out information to the computer at 1.25 GB/s. That's 240 GB/s total.

Yes, this machine could load everything on all the computers of all your immediate relatives into memory in under a second. And then it'd compute the shit out of that data.

Possible downsides include its 4,500 square ft footprint, and a bit of an electricity bill from its 50,000,000 kW annual operating usage.

Sex Phoneline Operators are Amazing

I think this is the 3rd video this guy has put out, and its never ceased to amaze me how damn creative those sex phone line girls are! This guys says he's got a fetish for house guests who overstay their welcome and she just rolls with it brilliantly!

Needless to say this is NSFW, but really its just for the sexual themes. There are no inappropriate images and in fact its all just a flash animation.

Left 4 Scooby

While I can't confirm the inspiration behind this image, I can only assume it was Left 4 Dead. I say this because I have L4D on the mind, and therefore everyone else must too. My ego aside, the picture is pretty awesome and I love the little details (like the RIP for the rest of the gang, poor guys...)

Hurting Others is Good for the Children

So I don't know if any of you have heard of the now annual Desert Bus fund raising event before, but its a damn creative way to encourage people to donate. In short these 4 people promise to keep playing this incredibly boring game for as long as people keep donating (with the required price going up each hour). Apparently people love the idea that their money not only goes to helping children but that it also directly causes misery in a bunch of uppity nerds because this year in 5 days they raised $132,438.94!

I want you to read the description below and watch the video, then imagine playing this game non-stop for 5 days and 16 hours. They're fucking crazy!

We Will Kill Them All

This soft little song has a frighteningly poignant message that is delivered with somber absurdity. You can almost imagine this being sung earnestly...

I'd recommend reading the lyrics along with the song. Click the "Read More" or post title to see the whole thing.

Pigeon: Impossible

This awesome animation was incredibly made by a single man with a passion. Man that's gonna look good on his resume ;)

His attention to detail really separates it from so many other independent animations. Notice things like the color shifting shader on the pigeon's neck or the nice broiling smoke effects... or don't and just enjoy the film.

The East Coast is Hardcore

Oh man, I've been to Arlington and I can confirm that I was lucky to make it back out. The accuracy of this video's depiction of preppy East Coast life is uncanny. Dudes in brown flip flops... dudes in brown flip flops!

Twlight Makes Tough Times Easier

Sometimes its all about perspective. Just looking a problem from a different angle can make everything seem alright.

National Geographic is the Shit

This time lapse photo of fireflies in the night sky and many other breathtaking shots are yours to browse in this amazing gallery. I'm constantly flabbergasted by what our world holds.

Heh heh... flabbergasted...

You can find wallpapers (and more photos) here!

Cat Translators are Over Hyped

You know, I always wondered but now I wish I didn't know... They looked so cute and innocent.
