Well, having a supercomputer crash during a scientific operation isn't exactly the best thing that can happen

One of the reasons the system was chosen was for its stability. Let's not go down the Apple bashing road!

Umm, Kevy, I think you read my comment the wrong way. I was saying they chose Apple because they didn't want the system to crash all the time.

"Well, having a supercomputer crash during a scientific operation isn't exactly the best thing that can happen "

As in, they chose Apple because otherwise, it would crash during a scientific operation.

I use a Mac, remember?

Indeed you are correct my friend. And for that, I extend my humblest of apologies.

(Man I can be kinda pissy when I first get home from work.)

Oh neither of us invented it. Its just part of the indoctrination.

Where's the challenge if your machine isn't in danger of crashing at any moment? No sense of adventure.

Eh, I get that rush everytime I open Microsoft Word for Mac. Buggiest software I've ever used, Windows or Mac. It literally takes up 80% of your resources, even without a document open.

"Teraflops"??? Now you're just making stuff up.
