The whole point of these things is for the company to show off their tech, especially nvidia.

Guys, the USS Hornet was struck in July of 1989... and is now a museum ship. So it's docked, and I highly doubt the kitchen is fully staffed.
According to wikipedia, the USS Hornet is said to be one of the most haunted warships in the American Navy!

A friend is a freelance tech writer, he covered a similar event on the Hornet a few years back hosted by AMD/ATI. The novelty of the event wears off pretty quickly, considering these things take place in the hangers below the deck under florescent lights in basically a giant steel room.
btw the Hornet has been permanently docked for over 10 years now.

yeah i can't see any other part of a carrier that will allow space for 800 seats
i'd figure the ship was out of service for many years if they were able to host this.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. | |
