Stupid Jim Gray

I wish I would quit discovering people much smarter than I am had already had my half-baked ideas years ago.

(It's very technical, and I don't expect you to suffer through it unless you're a CS person...but the gist is that Jim Gray used an nVidia GPU to sort an astronomical database really bloody fast by transforming the sort operations into what would normally be graphical texture mapping operations that 3D games like to do)
