The entire internet? Holy motherfuck. Not long to wait until we can play Sims, but with conscious entities as the players.

Basically, IBM, for reasons best known to themselves, are building a computer with enough power to replicate every single server that exists in the world.

The computer would be able to host every single website on the internet.

[Rideo]

The end is near.

and a 'Holy shit' as well

[TheDunwichHorror]

free webhosting for everyone

[Smokey]

That computer has 1024 core processor running 4.0 Ghz, and 4096 Gigs of ram id imagine.

[Arby]

I'm not really sure what this means.

I think it means that the computer can store every single website and all the data from said websites on a single hard drive. It's like the internet's very own backup!

Too late.

May I be the third to say "holy shit"? Wow, hosting the entire internet. Someone's got too much money to burn. Nah, just kidding, I'm sure they have a perfectly good reason for spending those millions of dollars.

WHAT??? sni*ger isn't permitted on the BBS? That was just the word I was looking for >:(
