What metric are they using to meaure the complete computational power in the world in 1999? Total number of instructions that the CPUs can retire per second under optimum conditions? FLOPS? Benchmark scores?  I want to see the data, not rely upon some crapball marketing-speak.</p> <p>I mean, just the way they’re touting it on official sources like the one posted above gives me further pause in believing the initial claim.</p>http://dain42.tumblr.com/post/51249585222http://dain42.tumblr.com/post/51249585222Fri, 24 May 2013 17:12:42 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/7e612a0981ae4106bb7a8fef953e2940/tumblr_mmvy25nTQT1qfrkf9o1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/2a9a0dfb4795ba9c36b8ebc81830b323/tumblr_mmvy25nTQT1qfrkf9o2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/>http://dain42.tumblr.com/post/51248182926http://dain42.tumblr.com/post/51248182926Fri, 24 May 2013 16:52:48 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/3f641ffa6be5f82e12dea25b09f6471d/tumblr_mn04ahotVI1r70ozfo1_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/371df36dea44b328b5c6d2196f787695/tumblr_mn04ahotVI1r70ozfo2_500.gif"/><br/> <br/>http://dain42.tumblr.com/post/51248129899http://dain42.tumblr.com/post/51248129899Fri, 24 May 2013 16:52:02 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/6e6f1fbf84fde799b4db64ef3314e43d/tumblr_mna13gSSas1qzccaro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://dain42.tumblr.com/post/51247944695http://dain42.tumblr.com/post/51247944695Fri, 24 May 2013 16:49:24 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b621025c4fbbec5ba7baa32c15ab7348/tumblr_mmp8cafmBI1rkyzs6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://getoffmybloghoe.tumblr.com/post/50282745823/heard-you-were-talking-shit">getoffmybloghoe</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>heard you were talking shit </p> </blockquote>http://dain42.tumblr.com/post/51247876123http://dain42.tumblr.com/post/51247876123Fri, 24 May 2013 16:48:25 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4a2bd8c466f1808e1f3bd93f2065a7d7/tumblr_mmzqx1fiTd1rrvjloo1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/385dd3234c44ed5748eae88f3765c872/tumblr_mmzqx1fiTd1rrvjloo2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/>http://dain42.tumblr.com/post/51247802278http://dain42.tumblr.com/post/51247802278Fri, 24 May 2013 16:47:22 -0400<a href="http://www.audible.com/pd?asin=B00CPQP02K">Shoggoth's Old Peculiar: A Free Short Story by Neil Gaiman, Plus a Preview of The Ocean at the End of the Lane</a>: <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://minimal-pilgrim.tumblr.com/post/51224202371/shoggoths-old-peculiar-a-free-short-story-by-neil">minimal-pilgrim</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Something to make you smile:</p> <p>A free download from audible.com of Neil Gaiman reading his <span>Peter Cook and Dudley Moore and H.P.
