Really? Sheesh.. what terrible design. I bet they don't even sell two of them...

Nope, this is probably the only one that they will manage to sell.

True, the computer probably has a whine, buzz, and heat problems with it.

Good point- it does have a terrible ring to it.

I think "non-bonding" means these are not classic chenical reactions where valence electrons make and break bonds but they are looking at interactions involving the vonderwall forces
Some of the questions they they'd like to answer are along the lines of how some protein might interact with a cell wall. It's very complex because the shape of a huge molicule might change as it interqcters and when the shape changes then it's characteristics change. I am far from and experts but it sounds like solving a big pile of diff EQs which might trans late to a big pile of matrix operations which means a lot of very orderly floating point operations just the sort of thing you can do with a distributed computer like this.

I missed that. I'm trying to think of some double entendre of "Empty Grapetree", but in any case it can't be good.
