I once, as a child, encountered a sod of a bus driver, that was an NZR bus driver, on the (mostly) one lane, windy ( as in not straight, rather than gusts of air), gravel road from Waikaremoana to Murupara, and he heeled and toed it, all of the way along the windy gravel road, and, the prick would not let me leave the bus, until I had cleaned the mess that he made me make on the (out)side of the bus, and, he made me sit at the back of the bus for the trip, and would not let me sit near the front of the bus, even though he was told that I did not travel well and that me sitting at the back of the bus, would probably make me ill. I assume that Caesar got a similar bus driver. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..

Not a bad translation, in fact, but the grammar is a bit of a mess. It is (the) Latin men you have sucking, not the language, and you have more than one of them so they should suck not sucks. (Latini is plural and sugit is singular.) I tried doing this again in French but it is not as easy as I thought.

Regards Michael Fothergill Tempus fugit , sed Latini etiam sugit You'll run into issues with power. Unless you're going to stuff 2 power supplies in the case, you have to buy or create splitters for the main power connector and the CPU power connector. You won't be able to have one on and the other off, at least not completely, because you're powering them with a single power supply. Then you've still got the issue of the case not really supporting two motherboards. You're probably better off getting two small cases and just having two separate machines. Then, you can have one power off the other and turn it back on with wake-on-lan as necessary.
Re: running two CPU's in parallel with e.g. Beowulf in the same box.....
Tempus fugit , sed Latini etiam sugit ? With the sed, it seems a bit awk-ward (?) I know that tempis fugit thing; Time flies like arrows, and fruit flies like bananas, but, What's it all about, Alfie? Let me explain a bit.. I was playing around with google translate to take expressions in English and render them in Latin. I noticed that some people put Latin expressions as a codicil on their emails. So I thought that instead of finding one from the world of literature and philosophy I would try to cook up my own Latin ditty. I tried typing Latin sucks and found that corresponds to Latine sugit according to google translate. Then I realised that that sugit was similar to fugit in the expression tempus fugit; the two words appeared to rhyme with each other. I then had the idea to become an apprentice poet in Latin... I thought to myself that the expression Time flies, but Latin still sucks could be considered to be humorous, and, if it were translated into Latin it should produce a rhyming verse. I entered the phrase Time flies, but Latin still sucks into google translate and got Tempus fugit , sed Latini etiam sugit... It is interesting that you felt that the word sed was a bit clumsy in that it doesn't scan too well. I agree. Unfortunately, my knowledge of Latin does not extend to coming up with a translation of both good quality and a better scan and the rhyme in there as well. I also tried translating the Latin expression I made back into English to check whether it would help anyone interested to get the joke But I noticed that google translate rendered it in English as: Time flies, whereas the Latin still sucks. There is a bit of Chinese whispers effect in there I guess. If my knowledge of Latin were really good, then I could maybe come up with a translation that scans and rhymes and conveys the meaning of the English phrase accurately, and when translated back to English by google translate would work well enough for anyone interested to get the joke. But I'm not there yet.. Cheers Michael Fothergill Tempus fugit , et sicut tela sicut muscae fructum bananas
