Sorry, that was IBM...

...OK, so I just got an Insight UK catelogue land on my desk. And what
does it have splashed across the front page?
THE WORLD'S BEST SELLING SERVER
ENTERPRISE-CLASS RACK SERVER
HP PROLIANT DL380 G5
1x 2.5 GHz Intel Quad-Core Xeon E5420
2 GB memory expandable to 32 GB
Hot swap 2.5" bays
ASK FOR: HPIA0432B
other hand... well, you compare the specs. It looks like HDs are about
delivery, so they possibly charged us more for that.

...and now I'm going to waste an afternoon looking at expensive server
hardware! :-D
Check this out:
http://uk.insight.com/apps/productpresentation/index.php?product_id=HPIA04379C
That's a nice piece of hardware, but pretty expensive. And what does the
enclosure cost??
Oh, "free enclosure"? *clicks* Ah, right. If you buy 8 blades, the
enclosure is free. Um, yeah. Tad expensive! :-P
Ah, here we go:
http://uk.insight.com/apps/productpresentation/index.php?product_id=HPOA03V0H
Look at that. A thousand pounds for an empty metal box. Heh. But hey,
this one is even better:
http://uk.insight.com/apps/productpresentation/index.php?product_id=HP40332100
Gotta love the way Insight can't manage to list the enclosure on the
page about the blade, or the blade on the page about the enclosure. :-P
Yeah, great website guys.
Still, realistically... if I just want something with silly amounts of
CPU power, there are cheaper ways to do that than a server. I just like
the way servers look cool, that's all. Way cooler than the "extreme
modded" gamer PCs! :-P

Not quite; you COULD implement scheduling / task switching in a single
thread. It would just be too much hassle when real threading is available.

Not to mention the Server uses space more economically than a room full
of PCs would. Not everyone has a spare floor in their building for the
500+ PCs needed for their server farm; a few racks and an air
conditioner, however, will fit in a much smaller space.

Most GUI toolkits either provide a function that blocks waiting for an
event, or take over control and call your callbacks (ie. event loop inside
the toolkit). How can you call anything else meanwhile?

That's what amused me about the "buy 8 blade servers and get the blade
Wow, big deal. :-P
But then, today I thought... why would you bother with blades if you
weren't going to have *lots* of them in the first place? If you only
need 3 servers, why not just get ordinary rack-mount ones for a fraction
of the price?

Timer pulses. Tell the event loop to call your process ten times a second.
