It is not easy to spend $4B (or whereabout) on a single compelling machine.<BR/>- It is the most technologically advanced, largest thing human has constructed. <BR/>- It is not a military weapon.<BR/>- The degree of international cooperation gives hope to what Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-14307944221576362542007-03-27T16:35:00.000-04:002007-03-27T16:35:00.000-04:00So, how much data does the thing collect per secon...So, how much data does the thing collect per second? Before cuts and all that, and how much gets stored on disk.<BR/><BR/>Also, things like how many integerated circuits, how many printed circuit boards, how many miles of wire, how many processors of what sort. Total bandwidth to memory.<BR/><BR/>Stuff my engineering buddy would be impressed by.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-37113115011809466962007-03-27T14:16:00.000-04:002007-03-27T14:16:00.000-04:00How much of that can be recycled?

The entire tunnel must be cleaned out and upgraded to a pedestrian walk with bistros, live theatre, and political relevance to our children with major portions set aside to feed and house the poor.<BR/><BR/>The future will arrive unless we do something about it, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
