Linux Rules Supercomputers

There is no denying this, but that has allowed potential US adversaries to quickly build up supercomputer capability when they used to have to dream of getting those systems illegally.

But, since some in the US known as the open source crowd are obviously willing to literally GIVE this type of software away to our potential enemies for free. Thankfully at least some others in the US are at least trying to make a dollar on it.

I don't want any technology of this caliber leaving the country, but if it does, giving it away for free seems the most absurd. This is the exact type of technology we should be keeping from Iran. Hopefully Microsoft will encrypt their technology, and deliver the best product on the market.

Ah, so you prefer whores to sluts, do ya?

Well, MS certainly has a history of doing just that (on a first release yet), eh?

I know, it's horrible, China's fastest supercomputer is at #26 on the Top 500 and it's running that commie free op ... oh, wait, they're running AIX on IBM hardware. Oops, nevermind.

Doesn't matter to you anyway, you'd obviously sell out your country for money.
