    surely 'pwned' = 'poaned'?

    anyway, on topic. Yes, the world will end, No, you shouldnt care..... unless The End of Existence™ (©Hollywood 1921-2005) happens to come in Nuclear form and you're on the opposite side of the planet to ground zero. Then you're really fsck'ed and in for a long drawn out suffering gruesome death. Start stockpiling the swarfega and calomine now.

    Supposdly it stems from 1 of the bot sayings in warcraft. It was supposed to say "you got owned" but due to a typo it said "you got pwned".

    well the prototype is running at 70teraflops, the actual machine once finished is ment to run at something like 3 times that?

    It wouldn't be the hardware speed anyway its surely the software content that makes it self aware, can't see how it working faster would make it think.
