Sidhekin:
The only thing I'll never forget about Crays is that at least some of their compilers had sizeof(char) == 32. And if I recall correctly, that was the byte size (size of the smallest addressable memory unit) as well ...
... UTF-32 ready? :)
pwhodges:
Why have just one byte size? The EELM KDF-9 had a 48-bit word which was divided into eight 6-bit bytes for characters and six 8-bit bytes for instructions!
Masterpiece:

YAY MY TUITION FEES ARE NOT A HUGE WASTE OF MONEY!

Apparently they just partnered up for something and Dell sold some Cray hardware through their site. I guess I just assumed it was an acquisition, especially since Dell bought Alienware. Also can someone translate the previous 3 posts for me?
HappyHavoc:
Yes I think it is.
