Are Desktops ,the future code breakers....

Teraflops,the latest invention from Intel.Don't get in to an frenzy,they ain't for commercial use yet....

Teraflops,have 80 core's ,which is like exponential compared to the four cores,found on desktops.Each core is capable of performing their own processing.That means now,we are limited only by the capability of the Software ,and not the hardware to perfom multiprocessing.

Of course missile silos will use this technology,but technology becomes really useful,once every tom,dick and harry can lay their hands on them.... so where does this leads us to ?

abosulte bliss?

Code breakers and Hackers must be really happy with this new inventions,cos this just simpfies their desire "The need for processing speed".

the ultimate breakthrough is the size of this processor,it is not bigger than a fingernail :) .swap u r mobile for this and u would be performing astronomical calculations in nanoseconds!!

I wish that would be the connection of my internet,then life would be really easy for me!!

Subversion -version control tool

This is a new version control tool developed by "collabnet" and it is cool,cos this is an open source software like CVS,excluding all the drawbacks of using the same tool.

For instance Subversion supports, directory versioning.That helps us a lot from CVS.Even though i am not an user of CVS,i du know some of its drawbacks :) .subversion has implemented a virtual filesystem similar to MVFS in Clearcase,which helps it to maintain and display information regarding the directory versions....

Even though it is an open source tool,mostly users from CVS would move to their similar arena.BUt would users replying on clearcase ,would they move to Subversion?seems like only time can answer this question :)
