Where are we from ?

Dmitriy,

I play some games indeed, but not that much to justify a Ti4400. I bought it more because I hoped to have the time to work on some graphics programming. But I haven't had spent a couple of hundred bucks on it if the old one didn't pass away.

Yeah, I like high end machines -- but as a private person I am not prepared to buy one. At least as long as I don't make money with it. And in our business, i.e. programming, ultra fast machines are rarely justified. Yes, if we did some 3D rendering, LightWave stuff or so, then maybe.

I recently got a significant faster machine at work but the build times didn't decrease correspondingly :) You can achieve much more by organizing your headers in a smart way then by spending LOTS of money for RAID arrays. My 2 cts.

Gabrial,
just for interest, what kind of programming U do?
I mean what kind of products your company do...
Of course, if U donot think that it is a indelicate question from my side :rolleyes:

From my point of view, it can be interesting to know what kind of programmers are around here and for what products they are working.

This one is easy for me, all of you will picture what it is, I work for ATMs. But don't try to find in all my posts what example of code I posted, I do not work on the security part. :) And I did not post my original code (as far as I remember).

ATM as cash dispensers, bank automats or whatever you call them in your own country.

Ok, just one joke about bank automats:

Q: What items hacker need to burst a bank automat?
A: He need a notebook computer and a hammer to break a bank automat and then to take a money.
Q: But if so, for what he need a notebook computer?
A: he need to have it, because in other case he is not a hacker.

Round here, they just drive up to the local store, throw some chains around the ATM (single standing model) and drive away in a big ole truck bouncing it along the way....not that I've done it of course :)

Q:Why did the ATM cross the road?
A:Because the chicken was carrying it.

variant of

Q: Why did the punk rocker cross the road?
A: Because he had the chicken stapled to his face.

Now all you have to do, Marina, is figure out who is more credible: Xeon or Gabriel. ;)

Some three month ago, my monitor exploded (yes, literally, no joke) -- replaced that too.

---

Monitor exploding?! How can that be? I've never seen one!
So, what kinda explosion is it? Like a grenade? Bomb? :eek::eek:
I've seen smoke coming outta monitors, but no explosions!

Plus, how did you make your monitor explode? On for 300 hours in a hot enviroment?! :eek:

I work on software that drives machines for carving orthopaedical shoe insoles. Sor of a mix between customer database, CAD and CNC.

It was Gabrial's monitor , not mine... So ask him about it.

I'll tell you how that looks like: the elcos exploded one after the other. Lots of smoke, sparks and very loud bangs.

What joke? I was not joking, that really is what I am working at.

I'm working at doing front end programs that manage files and displays graphs and statistics and analysis on data coming from electrical sensors for the semi-conductor industry.

If you have two colors: one pink, one deep blue, could you tell me what is your favorite one ?....:) ;) :)
