25th TOP500 List Released 274
Chris Vaughan writes "The 25th edition of the TOP500 list of the world's fastest supercomputers was released today (June 22, 2005) at the 20th International Supercomputing Conference (ISC2005) in Heidelberg Germany. The No. 1 position was again claimed by the previously mentioned BlueGene/L System. At present, IBM and Hewlett-Packard sell the bulk of systems at all performance levels of the TOP500. The U.S is clearly the leading consumer of HPC systems with 294 of the 500 systems installed there (up from 267 six months ago)."

- See how long it takes Windows ME to boot
- See how long it takes pico to open
- run 'top'
- play a wicked ass game of pong
- bitch about having so many CPU's and only 2 USB ports
- see if I could get a video card with dual display support
- fire up a spreadsheet and make a wicked ass multiplication table going really far (like 10X10!)

Actually, come to think of it they do. Where's the Beowulf cluster of XBoxes?

I happen to think temporal safety is very important, thankyousoverymuch. All that causality and stuff, ya know?

And we'd bomb anyone who tried to pass us back into the stone age, since the only reason to have a computer this powerful is obviously for nuclear simulations.
Of course, we prefer to simply stay in the lead, but when all else fails trip the other racer.
Now, where is that incendiary protection suit - I get the impression I'll need it soon...

And calling your two Minis on a x-over cable a Beowulf Cluster is insulting (to those of us with three and a switch).

You have 42 on here twice. I know that 42 is the answer, but which has the 42nd position? Or are they tied?
