What's with the obsession with parallel computing? All the variations on "this bit is O(N^3) but if you have N computers working on it in parallel it's O(N^2)"

What's with the obsession with parallel computing? All the variations on "this bit is O(N^3) but if you have N computers working on it in parallel it's O(N^2)" - that's not how that notation works. Next step for the author is to represent the RSA challenge number factorizations as Hamiltonian graph problems. Once they've claimed the prizes, we'll know the paper is worth looking at.
