  1. I think the official name that was decided for the next xbox is xbox 360, how weird is that?

    They will be showing a preview it on MTV sometime in May. :)

    But I said the PS3 will be neat, its got that new Cell Processor! I saw some screens of a football game for it, and WOW, it sure looked great. But so will all of the next-gen consoles.

    Xbox is going to have 3 different versions of the xbox 360, one is a basic one, next one has a hdd and other things, and the third one is like a basic PC that can do everything.

  2. I don't know. Maybe they have a ton of fast connections and then bridge them into a big ole' fast one.

    Because T3 is like that, it has 28 T1 lines put together to make about 45 Megabits.

  3. I was reading National Geographic for the month of May, and came upon something interesting that we could possibly do.

    The article was on toxins, and one part of it was on how in around AD 199 when the Roman's attacked Hatra the citizens retaliated by throwing large clay pots full of deadly scoprions at the Romans. :)

    And also it said that Hannibal did the same but the deadly snakes about 400 years earlier. They then catapulted those pots into the enemy fleet.

    Now, wouldn't that be cool to have?

    It was basically a teracota clay pot with burlap across the top and then tied with twine. Several deadly scorpions or snakes would then be put inside of it.

  4. Neato. I just looked at how much a T3 is. Wow, 15000 per month. But it is 45 Mbps. ;)

    Question:

    What is the current fastest supercomputer?

    Bonus: What is it used for and how many Tflops can it do?
