IBM Sets Supercomputer Speed Record
T.Hobbes writes "IBM's BlueGene/L has set a new speed record at 36.01 TFlops, beating the Earth Simulator's 35.86 TFlops, according to internal IBM testing. 'This is notable because of the fixation everyone has had on the Earth Simulator,' said Dave Turek, I.B.M.'s vice president for the high-performance computing division. The AP story is here; the NY Times' story is here."

I think slash "editors" deserve a good ripping. They should be college educted, such that they should be less likely to make a mistake and more likely to set up a system where another "editor" proofreads the work before it gets posted.
And of course, the slash maintaners need a good ripping too because they refuse to make a comment page that doesn't have 100+ code errors (according to the W3C validator) that gives Firefox fits.
I would have to say 100% of them. I still haven't seen an actual post about the content.
