...running WinAmp for over 2 hours decoding Ogg Vorbis in realtime, and 
seeing that it used a total of 4 seconds of CPU time.

(That's one impressive inverse MDCT!)

That's pretty cool :)  Too bad we can't have POV ray trace in real time, 
using <10% CPU time!

Well, when somebody comes up with the equivilent of the Fast Fourier 
Transform, maybe... ;-)

If we could, we would increase the detail on the scene to reach 100% 
again :) YKYHBRTTLW...

You haven't been raytracing long enough.

You know you have been ray tracing too long when you know what 'you know 
you have been ray tracing too long when' means.

All the acronyms has me wondering, has p.o-t ever had a TTSNBN?

I heard about one on Adam and Eve (I wasn't around for it, but people were
referencing it for months after).

I haven't seen Bill DeWitt in here for a while.  He used to like getting people
riled up.  (For that matter, I don't think I've seen Ken post in here for a few
years.  Whatever happened to our favorite AI?)
