And it's powered by unicorn farts.

It is quicker to calculate the answer when you are directed to answer a certain way.

GIGO

Garbage In, Garbage Out.

[Steely Tom]

It’s a denier killer!

[Blood of Tyrants]

So the garbage they are feeding in will result in even worse garbage out.

[Celtic Conservative]

It will be able to download all porn on the net instantaneously.

100,000 times faster than a typical PC

Yay them.

They can read my posts 100,000 times faster.

That's got to be in the "Add to Mankind" category and somebody should get a coffee cup.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. -- One of the most powerful computers in the world dedicated to climate change

Okay, that is where I stopped reading.

Anything dedicated to climate change models is gonna be crap, and will spew out crap.

So, these computers will give us the crap lies even faster.

[katana]

And the answer will still be “42”.

[I want the USA back]

I knew the article was going to link it to “climate change”. Computing faster means that garbage is produced sooner.

[Sgt_Schultze]

They’ll be able to make-up the future now for 250 years away instead of only 100. We’ll never know just how wrong they are today.

[Billthedrill]

Meh, not faster than mine. Mine has a Turbo button. And a MATH COPROCESSOR! So jump back, Jack.

Last time I checked, Silicon Graphics is a dead company.
Google bought most of their property in Mountain View.

I wonder who got paid off to take a Silicon Graphics computer.

[Telepathic Intruder]

This will allow them to identify data that doesn’t support global warming and delete it 100,000 times faster.

This is great technology. Now set the date to 2116 and have it run backwards to see if it arrives at today’s temperature. Or start it today and see if it gets the temperature in 1916 right.

[bolobaby]

More powerful computer to run flawed models. Our government at work.

Who was the guy that disproved the models with a pocket calculator? He didn’t even need a supercomputer to show these guys they were idiots!

New U.S. earth science supercomputer will be 100,000 times faster than a typical PC

You can generate a lot of lies with a machine like that! Makes me think of the old saying about a lie making it around the world before the truth can get its pants on.

[TexasFreeper2009]

why do you need a powerful computer to study climate change?

the science is already settled!

New U.S. earth science supercomputer will be 100,000 times faster than a typical PC

So it can be programed to crank out socialist crap at record breaking speed?

[Vigilanteman]

It isn't the computation speed which impresses me so much as the boot-up speed. Even the monster spreadsheets which I create at work take 10-12 seconds tops to complete their computation updates.

The boot-up in the morning still takes as long or longer than the Atari days back in the early 1980s.
