<0> it's for Civil Engineers
<0> they're the ones who really benefit from it
<0> there are restrictions on the types of things some engineers can do
<0> if they're not PE
<0> that's not really the case for Comp E and EE
<0> I don't think I've met a single PE
<1> only in hollywood could you have a "thriller" like redeye on a freaking *plane*
<1> have they ever been on a real plane?
<0> Anyway
<0> have you guys seen The Exorcism of Emily Rose?
<2> no
<2> scary movies scare me ****less
<0> then this story may work better
<1> heh, scary movies don't phase me at all, but scary video games
<1> i piss myself
<0> anyway
<0> so I watched that movie Monday night
<0> one of the things they explain in the movie is the signifigance of 3am
<0> that's the demon's witching hour
<1> 3 am is good coding time, everyone knows that
<3> its significant? :)
<0> it's when they come out and do their thing, 3am sharp
<1> silly catholics
<0> So, last night I was having trouble sleeping
<4> So they move from time zone to time zone, eh?
<0> I'm lying in bed
<4> That must ****. No wonder demons are so pissed off.
<1> and a demon got you?
<4> And what about Indiana? That's an additional pisser.
<0> and at 3am sharp my laptop, on the bed next to me makes this horrible squeal
<4> And Arizona.
<1> heh
<0> I roll over, and look up and see it's 3am
<0> and think to myself, great, the demons killed my laptop.
<0> so, I woke up late this morning, and rushed into work.
<0> after I came home this evening, I had to restart my laptop
<3> I think I am less afraid of demons than I am humans
<3> humans are scary
<0> When it rebooted it told me MS had shut it down automatically after installing some critical patch
<1> proof that MS is the devil
<0> exactly.
<3> then it WAS the devil at work ;)
<4> Pfft. Real geeks don't "wake up late and rush to work" because a.) There's no such thing as waking up "late" and b.) Real geek companies don't have a time that you have to be at work.
<0> yeah, it's a weird company
<3> although, you prolly told it to apply updates at exactly 3am haha
<0> they want everyone there by 9am
<0> but, most people roll in around 10am
<4> Of course, for me rushing to work means walking instead of crawling over to my computer.
<0> I don't think they REALLY care
<4> And rush hour is when Mrs. Solamente is between me and the computer.
<0> But, I don't like to get to work too late.
<1> heh, i've worked at client sites where i'm supposed to come in at certain times
<1> i come in when i damn please
<2> such a rebel khan.
<2> g'damnit
<2> VS2005 causes so many problems
<2> for some reason when i sometimes alt-tab back to it, and i click or type anywhere.... it'll just sit there, lock up, and take 50% cpu
<2> no more, no less
<0> I don't know, I kind of like this schedule now anyway
<2> sometimes it fixes itself after ~10min, sometimes it doesn't
<0> I come home from work at a reasonable time
<0> and, I don't feel obligated to continue working from home, at all.
<4> It's 50% because you have hyperthreading on your CPU
<4> So it would otherwise be 100%
<4> (Or you have dual-core or two CPUs)
<0> that's good then.
<0> see how lucky you are Obike?
<0> hey
<0> how did you do on that ***ignment?
<0> I'm not sure you ever told me.
<0> I'm sure I answered at least one of them right.
<3> but, with hyperthreading and dual core, it would still report each individual cores usage seperate no?
<4> The task manager reports the total CPU time used.
<4> Write a simple app with a do-nothing while loop.
<3> ah, I was thinking the other tab
<3> I dun have hyperthreading :)
<2> noidea: the quantum mechanics one?
<0> Yes you do you liar!
<0> Obike, no, the relativity one
<0> the last one I helped you with.
<2> i dropped that cl***
<2> so i have no idea
<0> grrrr
<2> i retake it this summer
<0> I wanted to know my grade on that ***ignment
<0> bastard.
<3> actually, I am amazed that these computers are not anoying me yet. Bot hare outdated
<0> computers don't need to be any faster
<0> they're already fast enough.
<3> ha, yeah right
<0> what do you need a faster computer for?
<3> At work, I could use one 1000 times faster and still get annoyed
<0> that seems unlikely
<3> parsing and compiling
<3> and lots of people do encoding too... not me though
<3> I seriously sit and wait for 50% of my work day almost
<0> get a special card for that.
<0> pfft
<0> so
<0> do something else.
<3> well, depending on my tasks
<0> you must have more than 1 thing to do
<0> and if your code is taking that long to compile
<0> your dependencies are hosed up.
<0> fix your dependencies
<3> I try, but the computer is full tilt and unresponsive
<0> OR
<3> the dependencies are good, its just a huge tree to parse
<0> get a computing cluster
<0> and submit your build jobs to it.
<5> Has anyone used IBPP?
<0> huge tree to parse?
<3> so if finds the entire tree then realizes there is nothing to do
<0> how big is your source file?
<3> lots of make files in lots of directories
<0> ahhh, that's your problem
<0> your Makefile is bad.
<3> the compiling really isn't that bad...
<0> your Make structure I mean.
<3> its ePublisher Pro on a 400 page book that takes a while
<0> what?
<3> Converting FrameMaker files to CHM help
<0> that sounds like it should be automated to me
<0> anyway
<0> you need a small compute cluster
<0> to submit these jobs to.
<3> 400 pages if printed with lots of images that need rasterized if the entire thing is rebuilt
<3> clusters are good if you have software that supports em
<3> I have no idea how to get ePublisher Pro to work on a cluster :)
<6> Or rather a better algorithm
<3> but basically its semi intelligent if it only updates one file...
<3> So I wait like 2-4 min per small change and 10-20 for large change
<3> cause the chm needs recompiled either way
<3> but the point is, there is always a want for faster / bigger / better
<3> waiting a few seconds is annoying :)
<3> let alone minutes
<6> what are you trying to do
<3> get a computer thats 1000 times faster :)
<3> at home, I am happy with a AMD 1700+ and 2200+ with 512mb of ram each...
<3> at work, I can see the need for faster stuff
<6> There are two things you can do 1) get better algorithms so you wirte better codes 2) distribute your load
<0> well, get a system with 2 dual core Athlon 64s
<3> The code I write is not the problem.
<0> that'll be as fast as you get.
<0> it's your Makefile
<0> and, anyway
<0> you can get a cluster
<0> get an LSF cluster
<3> This all stemmed because I mentioned I could always make use of a faster computer :)
<0> LSF has their utility to submit a make to the cluster
