In relation to the Unreal Tournament 2004 competition we are playing a tournament with a few large group knock out stages a nd the top eight go through to the 1x1 knockout stages. There will be prizes for this competition which I will update you with later. Further more as a bonus the 8 quailifers will go through to a 15 minute deathmatch. The person who wins this round will have there number of frags translated into a euro cash prize. So each kill is worth €1.00.

IF theres any body who can give a lift from north side dublin (swords) it will be musch apreciated or if any body from my general area is intending to go tell me and we can arrange sum sort of transport, personally i think its dangerous dragging my rig around on my own and is way safer going in a large group.... Oh ye how far away is the hotel from the train station or the bus stop???

Pyrogenex.... This is what i was talking about at dark side bout that laser cooling.... Enjoy!!! Has anyone ever heard of using lasers to cool CPUs or GPUs? Imagine it, you could create temps of 1/10,000th of a degree kelvin, aka: Almost absolute zero, no movment, almost absolutly no resistance for the electricity in the processor. The amount of power required would be equal to about 15 VapoChills...but the results would be incredible. Create a vacum over the processor with helium in it, which has the lowest boiling point of any element at -269 degrees kelvin. Then use a controled magnetic field to keep the atoms from hitting the sides of the container, which would prevent them from warming up. Then use lasers to slow the atoms down, by carefully changing the color of the light to match that of helium, then the doplar effect paired with the magnetic field would make the atoms come to almost a complete stop. This would cause no energy to be generated from the helium atoms in the vacum to hit each other. Then to acheieve absolute zero, you could take any excited helium molocules out by dropping the magnetic field near the pump for the vacum. They would they take any remaining energy out with them, cause 0 degrees kelvin above your processor. If this was sustained, which would happen as long as the magnetic fields and lasers were kept on, or after you reached absolute zero with no new heat sources just the magnetic fields. Condensation would become a major problem, and you would probably frost over the entire vacinity your computer was in, but that would be one hell of an overclock. Just some brain food to munch on.
