Big Creek, would that be "Hurling Yak" or "Yak Hurling?" Either way, sounds like a fairly messy proposition. Sign me up for a sponsorship, will ya? I've got a few yaks I'd like to hurl.
This is such an interesting thread. I've learned so much. This is the reason why I've stuck with Vegas all these years.
On the Olympic side of things I think they should drop all events that require direct competition against another person/team. Basketball, volleyball, etc. Anything that can't be measured solely by itself.
As for Vegas 6, I think I prefer Adobe's product cycle of of 18 months rather than Sony's 12 month upgrade schedule.

Yea, but then how would they get us to shell out a couple hundred or so every year??? They'd have to figure out some way of getting money from us every 12 months as well as every 18, and then how would they handle it when it cross over every 3 years? hmmm hmmm, bet ya didn't think of that did ya? :-)
Some of my closest friends are Yaks and I find that comment very hurtful. The Yaks I know are nice fun loving members of the woods and would be very offended if someone came and tried to hurl them. How would you feel if a Yak came into your home and hurled you? I only pray they never have to view your hurtful words.
Besides everyone knows that it is Canadian Geese that need some serious hurling.
Busted!! Yaks don't live in the woods! Have you ever milked a yak? Those milkers would make great hurling handles.
But geese....they poop in my yard and steal my horse grain, so I'm with ya on that.
For once I hope there is an upgrade soon. I'm going to have to be hypocritical going on comments I have made in the past regarding EDL's. I need to have MXF and full XDCAM support as well as XML support else I may have to consider migrating once again.
Are you kidding me, MAC users would be too uptight about using a program that was originally on a PC exclusively and was competition with their god FCP.
The supercomputer was built by the Swiss company DALCO and has a total of 530 AMD Opteron(tm) processors installed in High-Density Cooling Enclosures supplied by American Power Conversion (APC). The software is provided by Fluent. Sauber has established technology partnership agreements with all four companies.
Sauber Petronas has been working with a supercomputer for years. However, the growing complexity of the tasks has drastically raised the demands made on computing power. Hence, the new supercomputer is nearly 30 times more powerful than the one previously used by Sauber. This enormous power reduces computing times considerably as well as enabling much more complex tasks to be solved.
These capacities are underlined by impressive technical data: The supercomputer can achieve a peak performance of 2.3 Tflop/s and is being equipped with 1 TB RAM and 11 TB of storage. To illustrate the point for non-computer experts, this means that "ALBERT" is capable of performing 2,332,000,000,000 computing operations per second.
To achieve the same computing performance, the entire population of the city of Zurich would have to multiply two eight-digit figures every four seconds for a whole year. The machine has over 1,085,440 megabytes of physical memory and over 10,880 gigabytes of hard drive storage.
