I was just reading Engadget when I found this:

Japan have broken the petaflop barrier with a supercomputer that only costs $9,000,000; this price seems pretty low seen as per gigaflop it is much cheaper than the current most powerful.
Any thoughts?

Cool... must buy it
I wonder that, in my lifetime, will I see a petaflop CPU inside my desktop! Anyways, Bill Gates can buy it even now!

If they put a warp field around the computer core like they do on Star Trek, then they'll have FTL computing. Why they haven't done this already, I just don't know. [C]

Add a flux capacitor and we can travel forward in time and acquire the 10th generation of petaflop. -

Ahh but were would you get the required 1.1 gigawatts of electricity to power the flux capacitor?
Plutonium in v1.0 and garbage in v2.0 reactors?
