Flash (part 2) is one of my favorite songs as it is really aggressive, powerful, full of lush layers and emotion which is all carried by a sort of unrelenting rhythm of triplets, half-time, speedy hi-hats and rimshots that flow between every section through the use of reverberation and filters that tug and push the listener throughout.

Applied to the ultimate laptop, the answer is 5.4258 x 1050 operations per second -- about 10,000 trillion trillion trillion times speedier than the Pentium 4. A computer that fast could never be obsolete -- not in this universe.
Looking back, we were reminded of the salad days when Pluto was still a planet and the world's fastest computer performed 1 trillion mathematical operations per second (today's champ is 8000 times speedier).
Thirty years later, the fastest PC microprocessors were over 100 times speedier (similar improvement has occurred in our ability to store data the raw material and finished goods of calculation in machines).
In a technical paper published online yesterday, investigators report that during the first explosive minutes of Sapphire's attack, the worm doubled its numbers every 8.5 seconds, more than 250 times speedier than the Code Red worm that attacked the Internet in July 2001 (see comparison).
