Worlds fastest computer
This thing seems incredible and, at first, I was amazed at the story but then got to thinking - is it really necessary? Could that $100m have been better spent?

Well, its going to be used for the US army and National Security. So, if the Americans think that that is what they need to protect people, then I guess its money well spent for them.
I read another report in our local forces magazine that stated,
'The computer will be able to scan, locate, target and deploy an anti-missile bullet in under 1 millionth of a second. The bullet fired will be accurate to within 1mm'
Speedy eh?
