I would truly like this technology to be freeware, imgaine using this technology to make airplanes with almost turbulance, this would include ie, almost no drag, less friction and faster flying. This could even be applied to rockets. This is just one step closer to making my life being like star trek of course but I CAN DREAM!!

Who says playing video games never amounts to anything.

Too bad it was a static image. I would have loved a motion simulation.

Edit: I was talking about the first image, dipshit.

Hmmm, I think many many scientific disciplins owe a big thanks to nVidia for CUDA
