Someone do the dollar/teraflop analysis

Then also do add a year implemented to these numbers. The list only measures a snapshot in time. These systems take 3 to 4 years to spec and build. It will never be a fair comparison for most of the machines in the top 50. You people who are basing your arguments from this list are complete idiots.

It's about as idiotic a comparison as the Patriots of today vs the Steelers of the 70s or the Niners of the 80s.
