In June IBM announced that Blue Gene/L, its computer that Lawrence Livermore Labs uses to study all sorts of arcane things, could now operate at 136.8 trillion calculations a second. Less than six months later, it's turbocharged the computer so that it now operates at 280.6 trillion calculation per second, or more than double its previous record speed.

In comparison to God, Blue Gene/L must be microcosmically tiny and slow, which when considered, makes a mockery of George W's claim he is Divinely inspired.
280.6 trillion calculations per second. That's one hell of an achievement, both for the computer and its builders.
