  We could make our money back if the RSA factoring challenges were still being paid, we would prob have enough computing power and people to figure out some kind of improved sieve

      If we can somehow figure out how to distribute a web browser across all 4,032 nodes of a supercomputer containing 145,152 processors, I’m down

      I suggest we figure out process migration for the Plan 9 kernel
