    Supercomputer "Wars"

    A question is could an assemblage of Apple G-5s (ala Virginia Tech) reach the performance goal at an expense considerably less than the mentioned $50 million?

    Could $50mil of G5's

    finally provide us with the Ultimate Question to the Ultimate Answer of Life, the Universe & Everything?

    Probably not, but we'd be getting real close. Maybe $42mil of G6's ....

    "High tech"?

    So using a camera phone to cheat on an exam is "high tech"? Please. This doofus is just the first one to get caught, that's all.

    50 million

    Remember, this is a congressional bill, so its probably got $10 million for the supercomputer, and $40 million worth of pork for whoever could get their hands on it.
