    Fastest Super Computer on record

    I can merely dream about this kind of thing, but I rather enjoyed the idea of the particular item -
    http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/industr...eut/index.html

    now, if you had this kind of hardware on your hands, what would you do? =)

    Well with a computer like that I would download porn, play games and browse the forums at antionline. Oh wait I can do all that with my 600 MHz athlon and it didn’t cost $400 million. Maybe I could make it calculate pie to insane decimal places. Or even better have it keep track of the number people who don’t give a **** about how many decimal place pie has be calculated to. I just want to know what every one else does. How may frames per second can this thing pull on quake3?
    Its not software piracy. I’m just making multiple off site backups.

    Hey!
    A little bit off topic here, but how do you calculate computer years zigar?
    script language=\"M$cript\";
    function beginError(bsod) {
    return true; }
    onLoad.windows = beginError;
