Uhm, Spike, there is a distinction between private mail and things meant
for a public forum like this mailing list. If I send you something in
private, I don't expect the reply to end up in public.

"on the Internet pages of the city of Mannheim. Here you'll always find
the most up to date news, which will probably be of interest to you,
too."

(Network timeout. Japan's pretty much no go from here.)
Anyway, the next TOP500 list will be announced during the conference
mentioned above. That's probably the connection. There's a list from
November, and Uni Mannheim has no entry. I know that they have some kind
of fat many-CPU parallel machine, but apparently it doesn't rate mention
among the world's top 500 anymore.

And one you aren't going to run with 4-bit adders.

I didn't coin that. The terms bogosity field, bogon, bogometer, etc are
well established, see the Jargon file <URL:http://www.tuxedo.org/jargon>.
