I just noticed this: CPU type GenuineIntel Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2603 0 @ 1.80GHz [Family 6 Model 45 Stepping 7] Number of processors 4 Operating System Linux 2.6.32-754.12.1.el6.x86_64 BOINC version 7.2.33 Memory 15.5 GB <<---<<< Cache 10240 KB <<---<<< Swap space 3.91 GB Total disk space 22.94 GB <<---<<< Free Disk Space 18.01 GB Measured floating point speed 1.28 billion ops/sec Measured integer speed 3.51 billion ops/sec 16 GBytes RAM! The first computer I ever used had 32768 words (six 6-bit bytes per word) of RAM. 10240 KBytes of cache! IIRC, when I got stuck writing some code for an 8086 processor, it had 8 bytes of cache. 22.94 GB Total disk space: The first computer I ever used (an IBM 704) did not even have disk drives. The first disk drive I ever used on a machine I had control of (I had two of those drives) was the size of a top-loading washing machine, spun at about 2400 rpm using three-phase electric power, and held 40 Megabytes of data.

Two for one posting... Legally blind man helps Fort Worth police officers subdue suspect during struggle Jim Walker, 57, a legally blind disability counselor, said he was nearby with his wife and his service dog, Cassie, when the struggle broke out. The officers were acting in a professional and responsible manner and did not need his help, but he decided to help anyway, Walker said. A Man Called The Sheriffs Department In Oregon To Report A Burglar. Then This Happened.... Oregon police responded with guns drawn after a woman reported a burglar was locked in her bathroom.

An impressive effort. First race victory since having both legs amputated after a crash two years ago. Monger was injured in a Formula 4 race at Britain's historic Donington Park circuit in April 2017, two weeks before his 18th birthday. Grant Darwin NT ID: 1994404 · |

Not ready to eat insects yet. Not saying that I have accidentally swallowed a flying one. Oh dear. Did you swallow a spider to catch the fly? They reckon us non insect munchers eat at least a kilo of insects in our lifetimes. Just don't sleep with your mouth open :) However many of us including vegetarians scoff down many a crushed beetle when we eat food with strong bright red colouring (cochineal.) Anyway Admiral I'm sure you have had a nibble or two of a juicy weevil in your hardtack once in a while. Plenty of protein. People would be horrified to know the things they actually consume.
