What it's all about . . .

Ever wonder why a guy like me writes all these articles, pens all these books, gives talks at trade shows, universities, or appears on radio and television. It's not the fame and glory (there isn't much anyhow). No, it's something entirely different.

I have a few more shirts, but I thought it best to stop when I did. -- Marcel

Thanks for being consistently funny, informative, and always interesting. One of the few remaining bright spots in LJ. If all you need are a few t-shirts, I'll send you some myself!

Apologies in advance if I double-post- the first one got flagged as spam many hours ago and still hasn't appeared.

ps- the captcha sux. Too hard to read.

Your articles are about all that keep me buying LJ anymore. Keep up the great work, and if all you need to be happy is t-shirts, I'll send you some myself!

PS- no French accent?? I am so disillusioned!!

It's a chameleon. Interesting considering you changed your "colors" so frequently in the video.

Gecko is a chameleon

Well, darn it all to heck! Don't I feel silly (this from the guy in that video [ insert appropriate smiley here ] ).

Linux Journal Live - Oct 9, 2008

October 9th, 2008 by Shawn Powers in

There aren't many numbers that put the US national debt to shame, but here's one: 1,100,000,000,000,000. What's that? That's how many floating-point operations per second the Roadrunner supercomputer at Las Alamos can perform. That's about 100 FLOPS per dollar of US debt (unfortunately, the debt is winning the second derivative race). Read the article about Roadrunner in this month's High Performance Computing issue of LJ.

Along with that, find out how to program the Cell processor and how to use CUDA with your NVIDIA GPU. Also in this issue: Mr HandS (aka Kyle Rankin) gives us a few tips on using Compiz, Chef Marcel shows you how to get blogging off your plate quicker, Mick Bauer talks about Samba security, Dan Sawyer interviews Cory Doctrow and Doc talks about how information technology can affect democracy and fix the national debt (just kidding about that last part). That and more for your reading pleasure in this month's Linux Journal.
