bogomips

Bogomips is a measurement provided in the Linux operating system that indicates in a relative way how fast the computer processor runs. The program that provides the measurement is called BogoMips. Written by Linus Torvalds, the main developer of Linux, BogoMips can indicate when you boot a computer whether the system options have been specified for optimum performance. You compare the bogomips for your computer with what they ought to be for your computer's particular type of processor. Torvalds named the program BogoMips (for "bogus (or fake) MIPs") to suggest that performance measurements between two computers can be misleading because not all contributing factors are stated or even understood. Although MIPS (millions of instructions per second) has been frequently used in computer benchmarks, it's agreed that the variation of context tends to make the measurement misleading. Bogomips measures how many times the processor goes through a particular programming loop in a second.

BogoMIPS is built into some versions of Linux. It also exists as a stand-alone application program that you can download from certain Web sites. In July, 2004, Wintermute, a self-declared hacker site, reported that its server had achieved 3578.26 bogomips on a computer with an AMD Athlon microprocessor operating at 1,792 MHz.

Wow, your processor must be amazing to be running at 4000 bogomips!

Bogota, NJ

A town filled with everything from gangsters to emo chicks and 7th graders that look like macaulay culkin. Since Bogota High School starts in 7th grade, the girls become sluts and start smoking/drinking/doing drugs even faster . Most people flock to GSP, Teaneck, or Ridgefield Park to have fun because there's nothing to do in Bogota.

Person 1: Hmm. I want to hang out with some emo 7th grade whores, smoke cigarettes and then maybe go to the mall.. where should I go??

Person 2: Bogota, NJ

It has the 6 largest shopping malls in the country, the 3 best colleges in the country, and more museums than the rest of the country combined. Colombia's most famous restaurants, night clubs, and tourist attractions are all in Bogota. It is also where Colombia's biggest music and theater festivals, as well as concerts have taken place (Lady Gaga, Metallica, The Black Eyed Peas, Nirvana, Guns N Roses, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, Pet Shop Boys, David Guetta and Paul McCartney) with the exception of Beyonce who did a concert in Medellin. Bogota is truly a capital in every sense of the word. It is the political, cultural, economic, musical, theatrical, gastronomic, and religious capital of one if Latin America's most dominant countries. As well as being one of the "Big 3" in South America with Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires.

Guy 1: Let's go to Bogota! The biggest outdoor theater festival in Latin America is happening this weekend.
Guy 2: Yes! And then let's stay another week for the David Guetta concert!

Guy 1: And we can enjoy the city's world class restaurants.
Guy 2: Man this city is amazing
