What is this, a table for ants? Because that’s the average number of ants in an ant colony and it’s nowhere near an impressive amount of rows to be doing any sort of processing on. It wouldn’t be an impressive amount of rows if your rig was an i386DX-33 running off a 5” floppy.

Technically they could have had been using a computer without any temperature sensors or fans and each row was actually a 1GB file.

And also they had a hairdryer pointed the the drive.

It's possible!
