America's new supercomputer beats China's fastest machine to take title of world's most powerful

Quote
The US Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee has taken the wraps off Summit, which boasts peak computing power of 200 petaflops, or 200 million billion calculations a second. That makes it a million times faster than your typical laptop.

Color x-rays.   Not sure why, but just looking at that xray makes me squeamish :-[

Government is not the solution to our problem—government is the problem.   Ronald Reagan
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.   Thomas Jefferson
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.   George Orwell  The truth is quiet...It's the lies that are loud.   Jesus Revolution
If you ever find yourself in need of a safe space then you're probably going to have to stop calling yourself a social justice warrior. You cannot be a warrior and a pansy at the same time   Mike Adams (RIP Mike)

Do we really need to see injury and disease in color? I thought that's why they took pictures so you DIDN'T have to look at the real thing.  :hide:

did we accidentally kill organic matter on Mars?

http://www.foxnews.com/science/2018/07/12/nasa-may-have-discovered-and-then-destroyed-organics-on-mars-in-1976.html

You can't kill what is not alive. Just because something is classified as organic matter does not make it alive. Chlorobenzine is an organic molecule but it is not alive.

Organic molecules make up life, as we know it, but are not themselves alive.

IIRC organic molecules are based on having carbon in them and some other important characteristics that I can't remember and am too lazy to look up....

But hell to the yeah; if FoX and the internet has taught us anything - it's all about the headline.
