GeoGreg writes "The BBC is reporting that the Japanese Earth Simulator supercomputer is producing results showing that it is possible to model climate down to the level of severe weather events such as hurricanes. This computer has been discussed on Slashdot previously, and it sounds like at least some of the hype around this beastie was justified."

    This totally fits with my experience with Americans!

    Huge Colas and Chips @ McDonalds to fatten up with

    Giant SUVs so they can take the comfort of their 4 bedroom house to pick up their daughter from softball practice

    A/C so they can recreate winter in summer (in some of the flimsiest houses I've ever seen)

    And Three Times the Military Budget of the Entire World put to Together

    Now how many 10x10x10 stacks of 100 dollar bills is that? ;)
