four CPUs operating at 9.5nS per cycle, 8m 64-bit words of program memory, and 8m words of input-output buffer memory
did they care about the CPUs' electrical conductance? And why are they measuring memory in meters?

Sounds like a CPU bug to me, someone pull up the schematics on the Cray please!

Did you try turning it off and on again?

@ben_lubar You just had to do that, didn't you?

Saved so @sockpuppet7 can have a laugh fifteen years from now.

It's supposed to be a joke. Also, I think its amusing that these articles render as a modern website (if annoying with their ads).
