So you think it's juvenile to insist on correct grammar and spelling on an official press release?
You cretins make me laugh.

Don't make yourself look more stupid than you actually are.

What contribution have you got to make regarding the actual 'news' other than grammar ?

I thought you were a computer expert and not an English teacher.

PlayStation 3's Cell CPU achieves 204 GFLOPS single precision float and 15 GFLOPS double precision.

We use a lot of RAM (72 GB in each of those boxes) and storage (24 TB raw, with expansion option).

Intel Linpack was used - Intel - our results come straight from running it on individual nodes rather than whole cluster which consists of identical nodes (more or less).

As I have said before there is no need to hold all this raw data when the major search engines are quite happy for you to search through theirs yourself.

You could knock a simple application up in a day which does exactly the same as SKA, and better.

Great so you've just spent a whole load of someone else's money. Any ROI?

Congrats AtW. The specs look very impressive. I havent had the opportunity to look at a super computer so I am not sure if your achievement deserves high merit but nevertheless that is a good show.

Ignore the usual juvenile comments about grammar and spelling.

I leave the congregation to judge which contribution to the news that AtW has just spent a whole lot of money on his business is more relevant.

I had a massive crap just now. Not that anyone but me would be interested, but I wanted to share that with you. Press release attached.

I'd check that press release for you but I can't see it on this forum (iE6)
