prathapml Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Supercomputer or a nice ride?With the price of supercomputing tumbling (you could acquire one of IBM's new Blue Gene supercomputer for a starting price of $1.5 million), businesses need to make choices. Do you need a supercomputing to run simulations that could predict environmental changes or the impact of economic stresses on financial markets (or for defense contractors, new kinds of WMDs) or a nice ride? What's your preference? The list price for a Blue Gene and a 986-horsepower Bugatti Veyron 16.4 are about the same...News source: ZDnet - Between the Lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astalavista Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 For me i ask myself, is a Asset or Liability.A liability is something that takes money out of my pocket when i stop working.Therefore, I would definitely go for the CAR! I am happy with with a Austin Martin 2004 model. It is a nice ride when u are driving on the autoban in germany. Really stable and quiet.Correct me if i am wrong, but doesn't the top-end machines in particular, with dozens of processors, have a price tags north of $1 million.
