Supercomputer is on the loose

Hot off the wires:

A powerful new supercomputer is on the loose. With more than a million CPUs and a petabyte of RAM, it completely dwarfs its next-largest competitor, IBM's BlueGene/L, which contains a paltry 128,000 processing cores and 32 terabytes of memory.

What does this mean? Well, in addition to being the first time I've ever heard the term "petabyte," it means the robots are another step closer to taking over.

If the supercomputer asks you, "Shall we play a game?" ... please don't answer "global thermonuclear war."
