"The computer is expected to use more than 10,000 AMD Opteron processors "

10,000 AMD cpus. Unless you have a flame retardant, air-conditioned suit, you wouldn't want that in your bedroom.  | |

I heard they're gonna use "natural" cooling. They are just going to use one of the polar ice caps. | |

My room is kinda cold right now actually..
Fall's just setting in here and I've not turned the heat on yet (that would require getting up). | |
