The Bush EO alllowed the export of any computer capable of under 190,000 MTOP (Millions of Theoretcial Operations Per Second).
This Sony Playstation cluster is capable of 500,000 MTOPS.

That hits the nail right on the head: are we going to stop exports of PS2's to China as they can all be tied together? This isn't like nascar racing where you can require restrictor plates on cars, you can shop anywhere and tie anything together in the tech world.

Sure doesn't seem like China would have even slight difficulty coming up with this sort of system--or much bigger. None of the components are exactly secret, are they?

“are we going to stop exports of PS2’s to China as they can all be tied together?”

How are “we”( the collective?) going to stop Sony, a JAPANESE PRIVATE COMPANY, from exporting to China or anywhere? and why should “we” have the power to do this to a private company anyway?
