New Computer Made Entirely Of Pork
ORNL is slated to build the fastest civilian research computer in the world. It will be capable of 50 trillion calculations per second.
It will only cost tax payers $50M. At $ 0.000001 per calculation per second, it sounds like a good deal, if you’re into wasting other people’s money.

…unless they could calculate how to make someone invisible…or maybe how a human could move things with their mind…or something like that.

And yet it was also at ORNL that the Stone Soup cluster was built, and that was the fastest computer ever built without spending any money.
