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."
Typo or new term?

It's Been Malfunctioning, lol.
.../. has duped people into subscribing to this crap. You'd think that now that people are willing to pay money to read this site that the editors would show them a little respect and edit a little bit. You know, spell check, look for dupes, that kind of thing. It's ironic that some /.'ers use this site to complain about corporations taking their money and screwing them, sort of like this.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these supercomputers!
ROTFLMAO
Your right! Nobody has done one yet!

Please, oh slashdot editoring gods don't fix the typo because this is the funniest comment I've ever seen. It will just ruin it for all.

"In other news, Bush and Kerry will be squaring off this Thursday in the first of three debates. Kerry is expected to criticize Bush's war tecord, while Bush will emphasize the teraflops of position changes by Kerry..."
This one gang kept wanting me to join cause I'm pretty good with a bo staff.
Seriously. Why am I paying $5 to subscribe to all these dupes and typos? I thought I was paying for professional journalism here, not some sleezy incompetence.
You guys need to get your act together.
Yes, we all know they spelled Laura Secord's last name wrong. Thank you. Now move along.

Actually you are at wrong place at the wrong time, shouldn't you have work to do? You're fired!
Wrong, 98% of the posts pointed out the obvious spelling mistake.
... ah, nevermind
No... it would be T3cH02D !!
Is beawulf the sister of beowulf?
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.
The typo is fixed, it's just a matter of time before the Offtopic and Redundant bombs hit..
Hokey statistics and ancient misconceptions are no match for a good thought in your head, kid!

That's spelled "thruster"

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.
