New Computer

The government now owns a new computer called "Roadrunner," which does a thousand trillion calculations per second, or 10 to the 24th.

1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

Or, as I learned it, a quadrillion!

They plan to keep up with our uranium depletion rate with it, I think.
Wouldn't want to bomb anyone with a dud!

I want to know when I can hook into it for my calculations!

Might be able to start solving Jeff and them's problem with when the universe will reverse it's expansion and return for another "oscillating" big bang!

I think that the Tom Cruise religion has already solved that problem,---or the Mormons one.

The above blog seems to have died from lack of interest, but I really want to know what some PhD. guy might be doing with the computer right now!
The programmer for the robot with this brain is the guy I want to meet!
I'll just bet it can make a heck of a kid's game!

Might even provide the information on that ice found on Mars!!
