Am I the only one to whom this makes no sense?
If some of the stickpiled nuclear weapons
are going to, umm, spoil, how is a simulation going to tell which ones
the rust decided to attack? I mean, if I have a truckload of oranges
no computer simulation is going to be able to tell me which ones
are going to get moldy, no matter how vividly it displays the rot
processes.
Of course I'm happy they found a justification for building a new
supercomputer, but I wonder how just vivid "quake" can get.
