ackthpt writes "Code named Red Storm, Cray and Sandia National Laboratories (US Dept. of Energy) to build a 100 Teraflop super computer employing AMD's Opteron (Hammer) processors. Alluded to in the WSJ (non-free-as-in-beer subscription required), also in Infoworld, and Reuters."
I don't know how many guns you own, but beer is free.:)
Bad joke. Sorry.

Sandia's reliance on supercomputers make me nervou

s, very nervous.
I'm sure all the nuclear scientists think that they've got the equations modeled right, but I'm sure most of you who've programmed have felt that way, until you tried to compile and execute your program (real programmers, I'm not talking interpreted baby languages like Basic or Perl), and then you were amazed by your simple syntax errors, and astonished by your modeling misconceptions.
Basically, Sandia is betting the safety and sanctity of the Free World on computer simulations, while across the oceans, Godless Commies are building and testing their nuclear arsenals using the low tech, but proven method of blowing holes in the desert. Just like the SA-80 vs. the Ak-47, given the chance against untested high tech and proven low tech, the low tech wins in the beginning stages (Which is all the we would have in nuclear war).
Please, contact your local senator and representative, explain the dire need for the US to resume nuclear testing to prove that we have a valid, proven deterrent. We may nuke a few more Nevadans and Utahians, but they're dope-smoking whores and heretical polygamists, respectively. It's better that we detonate a few nukes, than rely on unproven simulations and end up being ruled by inscrutable atheistic Chinese overlords in a generation.

Teraflops? Crays? Opterons for Pete's sakes?!? This article writeup barely manages to squeeze enough articles and conjunctions in among the marketing buzzwords to qualify it as English!
Meanwhile, the recession grows ever greater, and I'm in hock up to my loogies just keeping my family housed, shorn, and clod. The average geek doesn't give two shakes about Flopceratops when the stock market is in the pits and we're teetering on the brink of thermonucular war.

I bet Zebras couldn't build this if they had a Beowulf cluster of Africans!

I bet niggers couldn't have built this if they had all the zebras in Africa.
