Holy Petaflop batman!

alko do you even know what a decade is?

what is a "big spot"?

and they can say that they sped up research a decade using this logic.

we process X ammount of data every day

we have 10000000X data to go through

it will take us a decade to go through all that

PS3 is introduced

BAM that data is analyzed, bring on the next batch NOW not a decade from now


a cure doesnt have to come from this for there to be progress. This isnt some big joke from Stanford, I think they know more about finding cures to diseases then you do.

and to the guy crying about SETI not finding anything in 8 years of analyzing data, WOW pull your head out of you arse. did you think it would happen overnight?? an 8 year window is pretty small in the big scheme of things, what if no ET signals were around in taht window? do you think we will EVER find ET if we arent listening and actually analyzing all that data???

And yeah some people give to charities, I use my $600 entertainment device to do a little work once or twice a week. It IS a way to give back in my small gamer way.

And uhhh PS3's dont wear out like the cheap piece of shit known as a XBox. And I hate to think of how many Wii's would have to be networked together to get this kinda results.

stop hatin, this is more for Stanford then Sony anyways
