Earth Simulator Sees Green Light

burbs writes "Big Blue's dominator is getting closer to being turned on. The Earth Simulator in Japan is, supposedly, the world's fastest parallel-processing supercomputer. Designed for the Earth's weather, the computer should be able to predict climate for the entire planet for thousands of years in a short amount of time."

    GOD BLESS THE USA
    by Lee Greenwood

    If tomorrow all the things were gone
    I'd worked for all my life
    And I had to start again
    With just my children and my wife
    I'd thank my lucky stars
    To be living here today
    Cause the flag still stands for freedom
    And they can't take that away

    And I'm proud to be an American
    Where at least I know I'm free
    But I won't forget the men who died
    Who gave that right to me
    And I gladly stand up
    Next to you
    And defend her still today
    Cause there ain't no doubt
    I love this land
    God Bless the U.S.A.

    From the lakes of Minnesota
    To the hills of Tennessee
    Across the plains of Texas
    From sea to shining sea
    From Detroit down to Houston
    And New York to L.A.
    There's pride in every American heart
    And it's time we stand and say

    That I'm proud to be an American
    Where at least I know I'm free
    And I won't forget the men who died
    Who gave that right to me
    And I gladly stand up
    Next to you
    And defend her still today
    Cause there ain't no doubt
    I love this land
    God Bless the U.S.A.

    That is so true, snow is jism, rain is piss, all that talk about getting drenched, or having to take shelter, or building your house on a floodplain... Sheesh, get a life man
