Since millions of people have a Timex watch, can we port at least one of these applications to a Timex. I really really think that this is a really really great idea that someone else should do. I have wanted to post this question for months. ![]() I have a Timex usb datalink watch. This is almost possible. Just that the application would have to be shortened to a few thousand lines of Assembly code and the work units would have to be less than a kilobyte. Then we can load work units to watches via USB. Yep, its gonna work. There is even an active programming community to help out. For the gullible: I'm kidding |

I see a few folks have gotten the intent of my original post. For the rest, I was making fun of the incessant (and already answered many times) questions regarding CUDA and the like.

I see a few folks have gotten the intent of my original post. I got it too, and I liked the Timex watch posts. But since some have started again on a serious mode I tried to remind one of the reasons why all this discussion is (currently) futile. However I see no need for locking or deleting this thread as long as people understand that it calls for a few jokes and as long as they stay civilized. Cheers. Jean. |

Questions: Who provides the infrastructure of WCG? Who built Roadrunner - the first Petaflop supercomputer? Who invented the Cell processor used in the PS3? Answer:IBM Sorry, forgot to mention, here's the new prime number generator I borrowed from PrimeGrid!! // Prime number calculator #include <iostream> #include <cmath> using namespace std; int main() { int number , x; bool isprime; for (number = 1; number <= 10000; number++) { isprime = true; for (x = number; x > 1; x--) { if(number != x) { if((number % x) == 0) { isprime = false; } } } if(isprime == true) { cout << " " << number; } } return 0; } ![]() ![]() "Patience is a virtue", I can't wait to learn it! |

Reply with quote and you see the post code, works even after a few beers I'm sure. Or, right click in Firefox and chose "view page source". It's how I hack sometimes something from a web page they don't want you to see, particular those heavy add laden ones.
