i wonder what firmware they have on those?
it must be a custum firmware for them made by $ony

The whole reason it was assembled was because the PS3 was a cheap linux super processor.

Sony would not be able to teach the Department of Defense a damn thing, Sony developers are not the smartest people in the world.

There is only one reason the public would even find out this information, its old technology and already been replaced with something far more advanced, count on it.

That's funny. I wonder how long it would have taken me to think of that.

just so you guys know, these "supoer computers" are still in use...

& they still are the best/cheapest solution for a supercomputer,

MIT has a few ps3 cluster
Princeton, Yale, & DUke have them

the list goes on & on...

And you think they will connect this cluster of PS3's to the internet? Be sure they use it on an intranet and no way anyone can hack or enter it.
