Sorry, I meant "conceivable conventional computer" but forgot the extra word (I'd used it elsewhere on the thread).

If this was some crazy undocumented advance in quantum computing, I'd have written a different comment. But it's not: it's high end conventional computing, which absent some fundamental break in the integer factorization problem (in which case that break would be the story, not the supercomputer) isn't going to make a dent in RSA.

(I'm a QC skeptic, for what it's worth.)
