why better not concentrate on making people NOT use those guns and preventing such cases from appearing??? giving the teachers the right to use guns, even when it's for the sake of children's security, is just an encouragement for violence, in my opinion. Americans should better try to increase the level of security in schools or embetter the guardians' professionality.

I doubt it- Saudi Arabia is still the same place with the same people and the same ignorance- you can't buy innovation. Oh Saudi Arabia! Where are you world class writers, films, cars, airplanes or industry of any sort? Your only gift to humanity is religious extremism with an export of hate and oil.

I think some of your numbers are off by a couple magnitudes. Hectoteraflops (100 trillion FLOPS) are large but not near the power of Roadrunner (many petaflops). And then exaflops are ten thousand times more than hectoteraflops (not to mention way faster than Roadrunner), which is not a feasible upgrade for a supercomputer without a lot more space.
