The capacity of a Saturn rocket is just shy of 118 times as massive as the largest nuclear device ever constructed. Huh? According to Wikipedia, the Saturn V can transport 118 metric tons into LEO.
Now one of the heaviest (if not the heaviest?) nuclear device ever built was the Sausage device (the first staged hydrogen bomb, exploded in the Ivy Mike test) and weighted some 70 tons with cyrogenic supply equipment.
I know that this weapon wasn't deliverable at all, but even Fat Man weighted around 4.5 tons.
I use the modem that is built into my brain for browsing the web. I call my ISP's dial-up number with a phone, receive data with my ears and send packets through my mouth.
especially because I never gave permission to M$ to read it

IMHO, the shuttle is more badass than the Saturn V, but that may be just me :)

My lynx already displays a black background on google. So now I'm not only saving energy, but my eyes too!

Just like that robot chick from Terminator!
They seem to like the ability to browse porn too.
Yes, but will it run faster than light? If so, will it allow me to comment on slashdot stories before they are submitted?

I'm expecting a "location, location, location, location, location, location..." rap from Ballmer anytime soon.
I think Clippy makes awesome music!
Yes it does.
It makes you feel special.

'capable of computing speeds up to 100 times faster than current desktops.'
So, how many laptop miles are this? If it has more power than one laptop mile, they could name it 'Milestone Computer'!
the switch comes with 3,456 ports
Sounds to me like a giant USB-Hub to create a Beowulf-cluster of these.
And before somebody asks: Yes, it DOES run Linux.
No, because when one nation starts an attack, the other one launches an imminent counter-attack while the enemy's rockets are travelling.

Also, the FP most likely wanted to refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WarGames
I've crashed mine too, immediately after starting it, didn't have to click anything either.
