We could make our money back if the RSA factoring challenges were still being paid, we would prob have enough computing power and people involved in a group buy to figure out some kind of improved factorization algorithm together

This all sounds great but what about 1000 chrome tabs open at once and NO ad blockers?
If we can somehow figure out how to distribute a web browser across all 4,032 nodes of a supercomputer containing 145,152 processors, I'm down, we'll definitely need it if we aren't using ad blockers
I suggest we figure out process migration for the Plan 9 kernel
Excellent. If this could be done by the end of the weekend, that would be greeeaaat.
Oh damn, those are the same CPUs I have in my server. Got them off ebay on the cheap.
