Does this mean FAH is once again the fastest computing system in the world? Since the number 1 supercomputer is right now at ~33PFLOP

according to
http://www.top500.org/lists/2013/11/ then tehe fastest computer is Tianhe-2 (MilkyWay-2) - TH-IVB-FEP Cluster, Intel Xeon E5-2692 12C 2.200GHz, TH Express-2, Intel Xeon Phi 31S1P that have ~33PFLOP so we are a bid faster

Yep. FLOP-to-FLOP comparisons aren't entirely accurate, but in any case, here's more of the Top500 list:
- Tianhe-2 (MilkyWay-2): 3,120,000 cores, 33.8627 petaFLOPS
- Titan: 560,640 cores, 17.590 petaFLOPS
- Sequoia: 1,572,864 cores, 17.1732 petaFLOPS
- K computer: 705,024 cores, 10.510 petaFLOPS
- Mira: 786,432 cores, 8.5866 petaFLOPS
14 years ago, who would have thought that a global community could voluntarily accomplish such a thing?

I've updated the Wikipedia page to reflect the new numbers.
