IBM has developed the world’s fastest supercomputer. When completed in 2005, the supercomputer Blue Gene/L, will occupy 64 full racks, with a peak performance of 360 teraflops, making it a contender to top the TOP500 supercomputer list.
But what makes a supercomputer super?! Here is a list from an article I read today… pretty funny! (comments straight from the article!!)
1. Built-in printer: How fly would that be? And why has no one thought of this?
2. 3-D screen: Jaws was in 3-D at one point, for crying out loud! This isn’t rocket science! Get me into the third dimension NOW!!!!
3. Cape: Doesn’t ever reputable superhero have a cape?
4. The power of telekinesis:So, what am I thinking now? Yes…..yes….that’s it. You got it. The number 4. Very good… :))
5. Crime fighting: When I put my computer to “sleep” at night, I wanna rest safe knowing that he’s sneaking out the window to go battle injustice, right wrongs, and kick some criminal ass!
6. Sound advice: I’d like to know if that special girl is worth the $150 bucks I’m about to shell out for our one month anniversary dinner?
7. Be a friend: If my computer could do my taxes, whisk me through the wonders of the World Wide Web, harness my e-mail prowess AND be my best friend?:)
Some bits had me rolling on the floor…
Whaddya think?!!
