Supercomputer

Someone needs to make our supercomputer run faster so it porcesses our simulations faster. That way I won't have time to post threads like this.

How much did your supercluster cost you though? I heard the BigMac only ran the university $17m.

it didn't cost me anything but your tax dollars helped a lot.

this was built a few years ago so it is kinda out of date. at the time it was the fastest in the world. apparently we are now the 25th

i miss my old school compaq with windows 95 and dial up.... wait there is a half boob, come back a minute later and there will be a whole boob. internet **** was not the same back then.
