Can't see the big deal. Not hard to get hold of Opteron CPUs anyway. Only a matter of time for them to do it. I suppose it could increase there nuclear programme progress by a month..

Don't know why they didn't buy some iMac's of Ebay and gang them together to from a super computer, it's been done before and would be alot cheaper!:hmm:

Oh no!
Another country can do complex logic operations quickly!

Run for the bunkers!

To borrow a line from a comedy sketch in Little Britain, "The computer says no". ;)

It's a meteorological computer. Which, in devious Persian-speak, is an obvious cover name for a Weather Control Device.

Thankfully, subsimmers are immune to bad weather, and actively welcome rising sea levels. Just more hunting ground, I guess.
