I already have a quad core server :v: I'm getting at least two: One to replace my secondary desktop computer (Which is cureently a Powermac G5 I'm going to sell) and one I'mm giving my friend.
So I have a 2tb home server. I'm using it to store my media on, but I have a 1tb HDD I haven't even opened for that, if I need. What can I do with this thing? I'm terrible with linux, and even so, I don't have room to plug in a monitor (I've been using RDP to get into it). What can I do with it?
Make a beowulf cluster because you can. [editline]2nd October 2011[/editline] @Warship btw
What can you actually do with a beowulf cluster? :v:
I don't have a server. Not sure what I should be doing with it, anyway. I do have a webhost with unmetered bandwith and diskspace, but it's still only a webhost (that is, I only have cpanel and FTP access).

Can I use the CPU power to play GTA IV? v:v:v
[QUOTE=wingless;32586617][b]ANYTHING![/B][/QUOTE] Except encoding. Nothing seems to do encoding over a cluster. Atleast I spent weeks trying to find out.
yeah It'd be pretty cool to be able to have a render farm [editline]2nd October 2011[/editline] (If I had a use for it)
Its just fucking epic to be playing bf3, sit down in a window frame, mount your m249 and spray the fuck out of enemy snipers
but BF3, like BC2, is terrible [sp]or at least in it's current state, don't instantly start building me a box fort[/sp] I miss BF2 [editline]2nd October 2011[/editline] You know what? Call of Duty has ruined FPS games for me. I can't play co-operatively any more, I can't stand huge maps where I actually have to wait more than 10 seconds for another piece of meat to come round the corner to kill. I know this sounds like I've been possessed by Satan himself, but somehow I prefer Call of Duty to Battlefield. I think I need to see a doctor. I was actually thinking of buying MW3 for a moment there

It's visually awesome. But it's just not what Battlefield is and should be.
derp, just recorded an awesome video of bf3. Will post later. [editline]2nd October 2011[/editline] 13k xp in a single match :v:

I never ever played any Call of Duty or Medal of Honor game, and the only Battlefield game I played is BF2, which I didn't like. And the current state of modern FPSs don't really make me want to try one.
[QUOTE=zerosix;32587200]thank god, somebody that isn't still in a smog of Battlefield fanboyism that's too ignorant to accept that BF3 isn't what it should be[/QUOTE] TBH I hated bf2, bfbc2 was meh for the 30 mins i played it. But i'm really liking what im seeing in this BF3 Beta. I'll probably also play MW3 when it comes out.

Caspian Border actually makes the game feel like another Battlefield game
Oh and remember nod32 freaking out after i installed it? It's done with SSD and RAM, and at 71% of my spinpoint f3.

[QUOTE=ace13;32587336]They really should've gone with Caspian Border instead of Operation Métro as the beta map. Caspian Border actually makes the game feel like another Battlefield game[/QUOTE] I agree, Caspian is much more of a Battlefield map, Metro doesn't have any vehicles, vehicles is the straight out most obvious thing when you compare Battlefield to other games like Call of Duty. However it's severely lacking in many other aspects like the commander menu's artillery strikes. vehicle drops, UAV's, the Caps lock commander menu and the Messaging radial menu. The squad system just sucks, I'll be flat out about it. It's just terrible. I mean, sure. I can live without dedicated servers and Battlelog, but the game itself is just severely lacking as a Battlefield game.
They dropped commanders, and you have a UAV gadget
[QUOTE=Goz3rr;32587439]They dropped commanders, and you have a UAV gadget[/QUOTE] Wrong kind of UAV's. Play Battlefield 2 and you'll know what I mean.
[QUOTE=wingless;32587453]Wrong kind of UAV's. Play Battlefield 2 and you'll know what I mean.[/QUOTE] I did.
[QUOTE=Goz3rr;32587472]I did.[/QUOTE] I know, I remember playing with you :v: But yeah, UAV's aren't the same. Battlefield 2 was heavily based around squad work, the squad leader and commander controlled everything, everyone worked together and they could REQUEST stuff but not instantly get the boosts. Now the only advantage to squad is spawning on your squad mates.

It sounds like Wingless just wants Arma II with a different sticker on the front.
Got the results of one of my programming assignments. I forgot to change something :v: [cpp]throw "ibhgrkhbgrbhsohgohlgwohihvwebku";[/cpp]

Lastly, as much as I disagree with wingless at least he put forth the effort to make a proper argument. Rate dumb, ignore comment, repeat, good job!!!
