Just imagine the size of a computer that we will need to understand women.

There is a race to make supercomputers as powerful as possible to solve some of the world's most important problems, including climate change, the need for ultra-long-life batteries for cars, operating fusion reactors with plasma that reaches 150 million degrees Celsius and creating bio-fuels from weeds and not corn.

...and why people were stupid enough to vote in Obama and his minions.

The Jaguar uses 7 megawatts of power or 7 million watts. An exascale system that used CPU processing cores alone might take 2 gigawatts or two billion watts, says Dave Turek, IBM vice president of deep computing. "That's roughly the size of medium-sized nuclear power plant. That's an untenable proposition for the future," he said.

Why? If the government's going to build the thing, then just take out of mothballs one of the nuclear reactors that have been shut down or not allowed to start up and proceed. It's not as though it's being used for anything else now.
