Help me buy a scientific computing desktop

Inspired by the other thread, can I ask you guys for some more advice? I'm looking to buy a desktop for $1000-2000, to use for my work in the lab. Almost every project I do has a serious numerical computation component to it, so I want to max out on computational power. I don't care about graphics though.

Most or least favourite to play

I was just curious what people's most and least favourite countries to play were and why. Does it correspond to the rankings of which countries win the most games?

VillageIdiot (7813 )

Peanut Gallery Analysis: The opening press messages are running the spectrum. An impressive use of creativity by Chumbles with this Star Wars scroll takes the early lead while Uclabb gets the early humble lead with the "do not kill me" angle. A classic! England is still largely unheard from making him the obvious choice for first elimination although Russia is close behind with a lazy piggy back comment. Very few "good lucks" are offered, making the tone of the game already quite hostile. It's shaping up to be a blood bath!!

I'm not surprised there is to be war. After someone dug a giant hole to the center of the earth where Switzerland was, it was bound to happen.

And we're off!!

Will the Purple People Eater - aka A_Tin_Can - live up to his name?
Will the Green Monster - aka peter the wiggin - reject all those who thing they can go far?
Will the Big Red One - aka uclabb - take no prisoners?
Will Deep Blue - aka Yaleunc - outsmart all challengers?
Will Yellow Squadron - aka Chumbles - uhh....be shot down by Darth Vader and fail to destroy the Death Star?

I got no intimidating names with brown and pink, unfortunately.

VashtaNeurotic (2394 )

My guess is uclabb gets out first. NK day 1 and all.

England can just be Mr. Pink. I'm sure some of the forum's less respectable members have some thoughts on brown, so we may want to come up with something better before that happens.

I think it's pretty clear what I'm saying, ssorenn: this website is full of people who have extreme issues with paper bags due to their negative environmental impact.

FINALLY I'm tired of the right wing bias of this site not speaking out against the extraneous and spiteful destruction of the Earth by brown paper bags. The Decline of the West is real.

Idea for a Diplomacy Game

I know there is a vdip variant where you only have one SC but I think it would be interesting to get a game going on here where It has unique rules.
1. You can only move one unit per turn. And you can only move additional units for every SC you gain.
2. By Spring of the 2nd year you could be moving 2 units, and so on and so forth.
anyone ever done anything like that?

Is this the longest game ever?

This game has been going for 2 (100 in game years) years as it is the 2012 world cup. It must be the longest or most back and forth game ever. In fact Austria was down to 1 supply centres near the 1/3 mark but is still alive! Imagine the commitment. If anyone has spectated all the way through I congratulate you, also well done to the players for the commitment they have shown.

So if I wanted to produce a pc-game...

How would I go about that? I probably need a team because I don't have the technical know-how. Where to start though?
No, I won't be jumping into this without knowing what the hell I'm doing. In fact, I won't start anytime soon. This is just the very first reconnaissance. What kind of people do I need and how do I know they'll do the job well? What can I reasonably do myself? I decide what the game should be like for the biggest part.
