typo above: "within split-seconds"

BTW, found the article:
[wired.com...]

It even specifically mentions Ask on pg 3:
"THE FASTEST-GROWING search engine – besides Google – isn't Microsoft or Yahoo or AOL. It's Ask.com, which has seen its total searches grow 20 percent this year. Like Google, Ask.com has built a petascale computer out of commodity CPUs, hard disks, and RAM chips."

Those were better times I guess...
