Pity the military is using it. Would rather see all that processing power put to another use (such as medical). Calculating what happens in the first nano-seconds of a nuclear explosion doesn' t help too many people.

they are using it for non-military stuff first, then eventually they' re going to move it to a secret location and do military stuff.

An American military supercomputer, assembled from components originally designed for video game machines, has reached a long-sought-after computing milestone by processing more than 1.026 quadrillion calculations per second.
So does this make the PS3 a military SUPAH COMPUTAH!?
