Reality gets it's processing power from your brain which has been
calculated to be able to process the equivalent of 13.47 TB/s and has
storage of the equivalent to about 2.7JB (2700 TB). I don't remember the
URL for this info but it was some university thing. if you think that
seems high just think that your eyes run at many thousands of ppi and
you have 2 of them 2 very good ears a toung and skin all feeding info in
that must be separated and processed and whether you can recall it or
not everything is stored in a mish mash free association of all your
cumulative experiences, personally I believe that 2.7JB is actually
small, after all you store every breath and every dream too.

What's this got to do with povray.advanced-users?

Oh well, I'll reply :)
hehehe

Yes, and it also has a consciousness :)  And it also creates Dreams... and
in fact, it can recreate a whole reality... like a Lucid Dream (which I
LOOOOVE!!!)

The most amazing thing tho is the fact that all that processing power
allows us humans to...
WRITE POV-RAY SCENE FILES!

Truly amazing.

Would be cool if you can integrate it into a cluster so it can support
rendering too.

I hope linux supports this type of Hard(Body)ware :-)

Aside from the fact that this whole thread is completely useless and has 
nothing to do with this group (if it belongs on this server at all it
belongs in .general), where does one get 'JB' as the abbreviation for 
petabytes?

Reality is an illusion caused due to the deficiency of Alcohol.

(Actually this does not belong here) In the future please stick to the
povray advanced users theme
