Hz is already taken, and I can't stand it when people use it to describe hashing performance. It measures clock speed, not hashing performance.

My 7970 runs at 1.2GHz, but only gets 0.7GH/s. I can't say it runs at 1.2GHz and hashes at 0.7GHz, that's just way too confusing!

Ah thanks, I'll give that code a shot.

There is money to be made in research that shows that there is global warming.

I know from experience that when doing studies for the government, the first question that comes up at the meeting before the study is done is "what answer do they want?". I did simulation coding for military radio technology. They would usually come to us to see if a particular configuration of radios would have a bottle neck or if there would be coverage during a battle. With radio technology there are so many factors to simulate that you can tweak a few numbers and get very different results. Both legitimate based upon the limited ability to model every single aspect of the situation. So we tend to follow the trail that leads toward the result the customer is expecting, or as close to it as possible with plenty of data to back it up.
