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."

    no, the british always comment on the weather because they're all screaming faggots trying to hide their homosexuality by talking about something irrelevant.

    It's not only about predicting the weather, it's also about predicting POLITICS. And the future of science. How will mankind influence the weather in 100 years? You don't know? Here's a computer that claims it can.

    Imagine the US governed by environmentalists. Imagine the whole world changing to hydrogen-powered cars.... all this should be simulated?
