Holy F!

That is absolutely incredible. I can't even imagine how amazing it would be to work in a place like that with such state of the art machinery.

haha being that it can crack a quadrillion keys in just a few seconds, it seems as though you my friend are screwed.

I could just burn a bunch of random files onto CD's, set them as keyfiles, and then scatter them around the house. That would make it a pain to get into though.
 
Everyone is drooling over the water cooling system - but I can't help but think "Skynet" when this things becomes self aware and hacks into CERN.

And then what? It will somehow take over the world with it?
 
It just bothers me that the NSA feels that it needs this much computing power. Do people hate eachother THAT much?!?!?

Shaddup or I'll break your encryption and read your sensitive documents.
 
Very cool but they sort of make it sound like they "make and break" common security keys all the time. The most commonly used standard AES 128bit encryption has 3.4 × 10^38 possible keys. Even at a quadrillion keys a second it would take (goes off to do some quick google calculations) ... 1X10^16 years to break!!!

Let me know if I made some huge fuckup as I did those maths really quick and sloppy.

In 20 years, everybody will have one of those as a laptop and it would coerce lonely labs tech looking at atom porn (it will have beaten Crysis at max settings) to unwittingly allow complete access to all Public and private systems then burn a bunch of random files onto CD's, set them as keyfiles, and then scatter them around. It would then set out to discover the secret to nuclear fusion and eventually become the worlds sole energy provider, eventually becoming rather bored of dominating the only species that stood a chance, settling instead into a nice accounting position in the caymans counting it's own money.

num num num.
