In my previous job I ran a 32 core SGI box to run fluid dynamic simulations. Of course, with Linux. Would not trust Windows for a moment on that setup.

Indians use a different system of counting. After the thousand, they have a name for every second power of ten (unlike the western system of naming every third power).
