So would it be safe to head over to the doom room when you guys start talking about about games and computers?

More Ale = More Tone. Proven fact.
Right on. Preaching to the Choir.

This may be alittle stupid of me to ask, but I was just asked to play in a death/black metal band, and don't know if I know how to play that kind of bass other than what the guitars are playing? The guy always says I'm " pretty beast on bass", but I don't know if he's just looking for someone to fill in the lows. I do like Alex Webster cause he's a beast on bass, but is there a different way(tone, technique, bass harmonizing with guitars, chords, etc.) to play than doom? I know they don't want just a root/riff follower. I expect flames, atleast vapors.
But would appreciate insight more.

It's technically a 3.4 turbo boosted. TURBO! haha. I've been building PCs since I was 12 but I haven't had the opportunity to build one in the past 4 years or so. I always have a lot of fun with it.

Work on your tremelo picking. You don't have to be good but it helps. Oh and make sure you get one of these:
Watch the intro then skip to about 4:00 for the lulz.
nice. In our lab we are constantly building 6 core comps, with 32-64 gb of RAM to run the type of simulations we do, hell i am currently typing this on one. We build them ourselves to avoid the stupid dell licensing ****

That's pretty awesome. It is amazing how much technology changes every year. I paid $110 for this 3TB 6Gbps HDD. I can't believe how cheap some stuff has gotten.
What work is the lab used for that requires such beefy machines?

True dat. I only have a laptop for grad school. When that's done I'll probably never turn it on again.

I am a PhD student at UConn, we work on developing new non-volatile nanoscale memories along with a few other things. We are running complex physics based simulations of electrical-thermal interactions at the nanoscale on memory devices

Just listen to a lot of death and black metal. Probably the easiest way
Cool stuff Nick. I'm a network engineer at Carnegie Mellon, so while I don't actually work with the super computers too often, I do support them! I still think it's funny that I work on the same floor as a personal robotics lab, an MRI center, and other things I'm probably not allowed to talk about!
OK, you just scared my math-challenged brain with this description. You're one of the dudes who's going to develop SkyNet, aren't you?
