I wonder who is going to be the fall guy on this one? The feds will definitely be knocking on someones door for this.

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..

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

Run for the bunkers!

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.
