I’m not going to read the whole article. Can someone give me the spoiler? Is the end of the binary file a zero or a one?
Inquiring minds want...whatever.

IBM's "BlueGene/P" supercomputer, which is designed to run continuously at one quadrillion calculations per second. I'm thinkin' that processor runs a little hot.

Processor probably gets pretty hot.

The tile is all wrong, Pi are round, cake are squared.

I suppose this is related to the story:
As I was reading the article here: http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-04-supercomputers-sixty-trillionth-binary-digit-pi-squared.html in the middle of the article I got the following ad in German:
"Ads by Google
Computer in Rosenheim - PCs, Notebooks, Drucker und Zubehör in Rosenheims großem Computerladen - www.pcwerx.de"
It tells me that I can buy computers etc. from the biggest store in the local town here in Germany, Rosenheim.
I suppose as a barely computer literate operator I have been unwittingly accepting cookies from many dubious sources but it is a bit offputting to realize that Google apparently knows all about me. It certainly knows that I live in Germany and, generally, where.
Can somebody with at least the bare minimum of knowledge tell me what's going on?

They should have printed all the digits so we could verify it.

Why don’t they just drop it? It isn’t going to get Obama removed from office.

I’ve only calculated PI to 1 million places using an old program and a 486 computer. It took a while.

Thank goodness! I have been up half the night with insomnia worrying about Pi squared. Now I can go back to sleep :-)

These are the same type of folks who believe they can predict “CLIMATE”.....aka useless information.
To: allmost
I believe Pi is only an approximate to start with...so this means nothing.

It'w when they figure this out that we've really got trouble.

Does anyone know why they are seeking the digits of pi squared instead of just the digits for pi itself???
Does pi squared have some signifigance more so then pi.
