The weather said they think Mt Washington will get down to -100F, Mars average temp might be warmer at -85F, now that is irony...


Vic, I think the -100 was just a "wind chill" estimate. I'm pretty sure it is impossible for the actual air temperature to get that cold on this planet.

Cold record is -128.6f https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowest_temperature_recorded_on_Earth
There is the 300 club.

Check with Task Manager to see what's actually running.
The existing cache will still have the old application names, any new work will get the newly installed applications names. And when you run the installer you need to make sure you select the best application (AVX for CPU, SoG for Nvidia GPU)- the defaults are the most compatible, not the best.

i used to live in a town named Eden. it was misnamed.

From Wiki:)
Eden is a town located south of Buffalo, in Erie County, New York, United States. The population was 7,688 at the 2010 census.[3]
The basis for choosing the town's name is unknown.

not the same Eden... not a garden spot....
blighted by closed businesses and
unemployment. inhabitants still waiting
for the businesses to come back. 30 years
of waiting. most are dead or dying now.
the only businesses making money in the
town is walmart and the local funeral home.

We'll try garlic as soon as its unfrozen. For the moment, we're taking this wintery opportunity to keep our CPUs and GPUs cold while they crunch data for SETI@home.
