That's just a screengrab from Hackers.

A related use for millions to tens of millions of operating systems, Sandia?s researchers suggest, is to construct high-fidelity models of parts of the Internet.

That might be bad when the supercomputer learns how to troll.

OMG! It could become the Uber Troll. Getting around Bannings, Banning those who Ban it, and causing so much mayhem that in the confusion Humanity destroys itself. So only the Troll will live and being a good Troll will have created so many duplicate Troll Accounts and having offloaded them into separate independent Processes, that it will never realize that it is spending an Eternity doing nothing but Trolling itself. Thousands of years from now Aliens will come across the Troll Planet and being good Admins will simply Nuke what's left of Earth from Orbit.

Thanks Science, once again you have doomed us all!! :|:|:|

Well, I don't know how "super" it is, but AT's FuseTalk's servers are pretty good at trolling already. Just give it a year and it will be the biggest troll ever.
