~~~US to create 'computer brain'

~~~The machines, made up of 197 refrigerator-sized boxes each
~~~weighing one
~~~ton, can crunch half a quadrillion - 500,000,000,000,000 -


I am thinking...

...does the contract include a backup facility (Tape?)
...Will it sit there and do nothing unless someone wants to play chess?
...Is Microsoft involved? Let me guess, Linux?
...What will the left hemisphere do while the right is thinking?
...Will it learn to walk?
...Count election ballets? (in South Carolina, our computers can't do that
yet)
...Man's Search for Meaning?
...Why did the chicken cross the road?


Now, if it's crunching Genome data, cancer cell research, theories, weather
patterns, spatial data, world population, food and energy constructive
planning, count me in.

You all know it will be pSeries, no question. The same brand mix they put in
the lead at the Olympics.

Hoping for the best,
Mark
