Get ready for the 500 ghz PC in the future, today..

WOW, IBM just hit the 500 ghz barrier.... They had to use some crazy cooling to hit 500 but they hit 300 ghz at room temps so anything is possible..

Actually now that I think about it, U7 soccer is easy to simulate.

Take 10 of the 12 kids, One ball.. all the kids run to the ball the ball squirts out in random directions, and all the kids chase it. Repeat, etcetera etcetera.

No matter if you score or not, cuz the league won't keep track of wins, etcetera

Someone will file a bug report that their team's goalie went wandering off the field.. but then will be reminded that;s just good AI, he got bored and wandered to play on the swingset.

This threadjack has been an unpaid advertisement for Sports Interactive. Where if real life and our games differ, assume reality needs a patch.

This is already in the game. I see it every evening with my South Korean squad.

What was I thinking, taking over a squad named "Hallelujah?"

Oh, yeah, 300 GHZ would be handy. And the jets of flame shooting out the back of the computer could be put to all sorts of cool uses

I can see the computer scientists now..."Dude, I just hit a FG from 27 yards out, that blows away the old mark of 22 yards!"

The new benchmark for core processor design.
