No matter what OS they run it on, the actual simulation software is extremely complex and not available.

The Chinese already have simulation software. Migrating it to clusters -- as Los Alamos has already done -- wouldn't be difficult. I'm sure that they could enlist a bunch of you OSS zealots. You guys could brag and joke about it on Slashdot to your buddies, about how proud you are that you prevented MS, Sun, and other American companies from providing nuke simulation software to the Chinese...

And Windows Cluster Edition is coming soon -- remember, it's okay if China has nukes as long as Bill made money off it.

I'm opposed to ALL technology transfers to China. Period.

But if they did get the software, you'd fine as long as China is running MS NukeTest instead of PHP Nuke (oh, wait, that doesn't have anything to do with nukes).

No, I wouldn't be fine with it. See above. My position is consistent. Yours isn't. You guys would love to see China running Linux everywhere, regardless of whether it's being used to track dissidents, run military simulations, and target us with nukes.

nope just want you to stop putting words in our mouths, lying about our statements, exaggerating, and trolling.

I don't care what China runs. Actually, I'd prefer if they ran Microsoft software (legally). We'd get the money and the Chinese would have crappy, less secure software instead of something more advanced.
