devil_angel Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I don't get it.....why don't they make supercomputers or jus hire some expert organizations for the purpose rather than ps3s for research? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThE JuGgErNaUT Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I don't get it.....why don't they make supercomputers or jus hire some expert organizations for the purpose rather than ps3s for research? PS3 they'll use for entertainment.....yea toh bahana hai. A way to justify expenses/official billing. some mates did the same for a 5000W kenwood stereo system cause well the site was just too boring & the customer a pain in the neck. after puttin in 16 hr days continuously for a month(sundays incl), pals said either they get a boombox & a small gym in office, or the customer can screw eachothers uniformed A** they got the deal, plus a lotta other addons & benefits like free liquor/official cars/cooks/house keeper aka batmen,etc etc, but for the next 10 months it was 16-17 hr days nonstop. good thing was that the dudes really got trained, & now no matter wht the workload, these guys r ready to rock'nroll. I knew i landed up in the wrong office the moment a senior said.... S: 5.10 ho gaye, swipe out kare lo. Me: Sir, kafi ordering baki hai. S: office ka mahol kharab mat karo. Me: aap chaliye, i'll leave at 7 S: Shayad tum jante nahi.....par meri pahucch union mein kaafi uchi hai Me: (Thinking)lag gayi beta....kahan fas gaya yar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
