PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

Bojo seems to be baffled by clothing. I suspect it is congenital. He possibly spends twenty minutes in a morning putting his trousers on, as it is outside of his intelligence to find the efficacy.
 
What's a Kray supercompuer? Run by Ronnie and Reggie Kray?
Ha, sadly not. Just a very very fast computer usually used for complex computational research. Usually found in universities, with costs and computing time split between a consortium of universities to keep costs down.

I vaguely remember some historical politician of whom it was said he was so crooked he needed to use a corkscrew to put his trousers on, or possibly to take them off.

Do they even still use them? I know that they feature heavily in the Jurassic Park novel but that’s getting on for 40 years…

There's probably a more recent variant name, but they're still supercomputers (to a non specialist like me). There's probably differences in speed and size etc.
 
Punched card computing?

Hopefully keeps hitting de Spaffel until he understands the implications of the result.
I bow to your superior knowledge. But I bet you a university somewhere on the planet has one because some academic saved it from a skip.

Nvidia DGX SuperPOD and InfiniBand based clusters are where it's at. Cray still just in the game, duking it out with Fujitsu, Nvidia, HP, IBM and Chinese homegrown outfits. All just honking great Linux boxes.
 
Aren't we still at hung drawn and quartered, with the bits left dangling at the tower for the crows,? Or would the RSPB be upset?

Nope. I have read that three times and not understood a syllable of it but thanks anyway
