What surprises me here is that they had the estimates =completely= wrong. Development in all sectors is getting faster and faster. Maybe it is going so fast that predictions have become useless, became impossible.

    I was surprised by the comment in the article,"To break the cryptography the team used 21 personal computers with a total of 252 cores,..." They have access to 21 computers with 12 cores each? Those cost about $7,000 each. I hope they got a volume discount.

(Raumpatrouille – Die phantastischen Abenteuer des Raumschiffes Orion, colloquially aka Raumpatrouille Orion was the first German science fiction television series. Its seven episodes were broadcast by ARD beginning September 17, 1966. The series has since acquired cult status in Germany. Broadcast six years before Star Trek first aired in West Germany (in 1972), it became a huge success.)
