Sat at work reading Tuesday nights Oakwell Review (I have a large job running on the supercomputer, just waiting for output, thats all) and I notice from the 'Stat Pack' that: "The woodwork has come to the rescue of the defending side on 194 occasions (the biggest beneficiaries being Barnsley 15). Can we just get one thing straight for all football commentators, pundits, writers and stattos - Hitting the woodwork, be it upright or crossbar is not a goal, it is missing. The goal frame does not save that goal from going it, it shows that it was going out. Don't complain about your bad luck, shoot a few inches lower or closer to the goal. No one gets saved by the woodwork, you may, however, be very lucky and get the woodwork to deflect your wayward shot into the goal. Rant over.
RE: "A large jobby running on the super-computer"???? You can do anything you like with Unix and ANSI C.
I have this argument with a mate, he insists that a shot that hits the woodwork is on target and I maintain it's not. He then says, well what if it goes in off the post? Well - in that case the post deflected it on target.
RE: "A large jobby running on the super-computer"???? Didn't know they ran Unix on supers. Thought it was always mvs or some other black art.
RE: Can you warm a pie up on top of the super computer? nt Dunt know. But there was an IT manager of a small company in Malvern that would shag his PA on an old Prime Disk Array.
RE: "A large jobby running on the super-computer"???? Depends, our Cray ran Unix, then we had SGI's on IRIX and now we have Suns running SunOS 5.9. Physics dept are running a huge cluster of Linuxii that runs rings round our machines.
RE: Can you warm a pie up on top of the super computer? nt Without the air con you could fry an egg on it.
RE: This supercomputer you've got Yeah, when you think about it, it's just a computer and we can't even play games on it either. So basically it's a shitcomputer.
