Does this sound stupid to anyone else?

Maybe I'm not a mathematical savant, but doesn't "See you next Onesday" sound totally stupid? It would be a lot easier if everyone had numbers instead of names, GPS unique implants to identify ourselves, and track where we go...
The reason this will never catch on is simply, we're humans, and it's a human calander. It's a culture, not a mathematical error. The guy who's proposing this obviously has quite an ego (callig Bill Gates personally?) and is blind to the fact that first, there is no need for his calander, and second it's perfect to a point of inanity.
HTML Traffick Augmentation
(aka, HTML Death Traps)
A method of enhancing website traffick and sponser visitation, using HTML, java, javascript, or any other parseable or executeable web language that spawns instances of the web browser to load either the same and or other HTML documents located on one or more servers whenever a client software attempts to exit a page by linking out, exiting the client, executing the "back" function or any other means to leave that website.
Heck if I know, I don't design the supercomputers. And I really dont think that the CPU architecture is the limiting factor in a clustered computer, anyways. I was talking with guys in the C&C division, not the people designing the computer. All I see as important is that the NCSA is going to try, after all. What's worst is, they had 2 matching offers, so had they won the $45 mil, they would have had a total of over $100 to play with.
Hiya.
I work for the NCSA in Urbana/ IL at U. of Illinois. We were contesting against Pittsburg for the endowment to build the supercomputer, but lost.
Well, I don't know if it's public knowledge yet, but we're planning on building a competing computer, anyways. We have some funds and are lobbying for more, and hopefully will still beat Pittsburg to a finished product.
Apparently, the final computer will consist of 1,000 1GHz either Pentium IV or IA64 processors.

Um, this isnt who you think it is... I posted this question fast, and my password didnt work, so i just posted anonymously.
