This may sound rude, but the name "Fermi" reminds me of an extremely obese woman, lol.

I wonder if they named this after Enrico Fermi? Enrico was one of the co-founders of nuclear physics. The fermi is also a unit of length that is commonly used in nuclear physics.

I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, shoot, that's the first two things I think of when I see the name - the man and the unit of measurement.

Just makes me think of the Fermi nuclear power plant south of Detroit.

I wish they would release the darn thing so I can dream of actually buying one. I think my wife would kill me though since I just spent a crap load of money on a gtx 295.

I wish money grew on trees or I actually worked somewhere that actually paid me real money

what does the Manhattan Project have to do with computers. Also under the circumstances I don't think it is politically safe.
