"In early May, 2008 the project attained a sustained performance level higher than two petaFLOPS, again being the first computing system of any kind to do so." >> Wikipedia So a community open source project has beaten the US military supercomputer. By the way not just beaten it, F@H does 2x as many calculations. Thats impressive. pfft supercomputer, why waste all that money. The US military could have spent the money on developing their own client to just run on all government/military PCs and im sure they could have beaten their own supercomputer. Plus it would have be much cheaper then changing supercomputers every 3-4years. What a waste of US dollars. Folding @ home already beat 1 petaflop of calculations like a year ago.

Does it look so sweat that it makes you sweet? And yeah isn't there a better application for this than a nuke? Weather modeling is fine, but come on. No need for a nuke model. Here's the outcome modeled by me...nuke=death. LOL @5! Does it look so sweat that it makes you sweet? And yeah isn’t there a better application for this than a nuke?

They'll develop a new bloatware application that will make the machine crawl. MS Office 2009 !! Hand that machine to Microsoft.

So now they can run benchmark tests on it all day. Hope they put in a nice Graphics cards. Wow, how excellent. So now they can run benchmark tests on it all day.

Nuclear bombs........they have no other things to do than make nuclear bomb simulation. How about they give us some other simulation than war sims. Wow!

But come on! You guys that make those supercomputers, check out new GPU's next time.
