Many thanks! :smile:

The 3-dimensional (crystallographic) space group is the next wallpaper extension. There are 230 of them.

For determining the protein structure, X-ray crystallography is used, and because proteins (and DNA) are chiral objects, they cannot form crystals of approximately half of these space groups (those that involve reflection). Take, for example P2[SUB]1[/SUB]2[SUB]1[/SUB]2[SUB]1[/SUB]; I remember that almost a quarter of the PDB structures were in this group. Using space groups together with Fast Fourier Transform in some challenging stuff to write, but for some groups it provides for significant acceleration of computations. (Well, it is already written for many, if not all groups.)

Looking at the Ebay listing, it is for 10 days and has one bid so far. This is in Milan, Italy and the English language description is decently good. I like this last bit of disclosure: [QUOTE]All the games are stored in a basement with the right temperature, not too hot, not too cold, no humidity, no smoke and no direct light.

We Seriously Need to Sign This Guy Up
 

Here's something I got wind of from an email bulletin.

Here is the meat of the matter-
[CODE]
CPU: Core i7-3960X (O.C.'d to 3.9 GHz currently)
GPU: 3 x EVGA GTX 580's
CPU Waterblock: Swiftech APOGEE HD Ultimate Extreme Performance Water Block
GPU Waterblock: eVGA Hydro Copper 2 Waterblock for GTX 580
Radiators: 1 x Black Ice GTX Extreme 120 and 1 x Black Ice GTX Extreme 360
[/CODE]Talk about a "farm in a box"!

EDIT: I wonder if he's got a 240v circuit to run that thing.

Maybe I should start a "Perpetual Darwin Awards" or "Perpetual Karma" thread.
