SGI inks deal for Tasmanian cluster

Puters in Tassie?

But they don't get the leccy on until 2015 !

What's the point?

When the results are a foregone conclusion, what is the point of buying a machine like this? We already know that previous data has been "corrected" by Winston Smith's colleagues at the Ministry of Climate Truth. Any deviance between results and forgone conclusions only points out that the model is wrong, and will be corrected posthaste.

"concrete proof"

@mark 65: the "concrete link [ of global warming, I assume you mean?] with human activity" was unequivocally demonstrated many years ago. If you don't know that, you really aren't qualified to comment. May I suggest David Archer's free online lectures on climatology 101?

(There's an accompanying textbook aimed at reasonably numerate non-specialists at the undergrad level: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Global-Warming-Understanding-David-Archer/dp/1405140399/ Both highly recommended. In particular Chapter 1 covers the basic thermodynamics of the CO2 greenhouse mechanism, which is something almost never explained in "Intro to AGW" material aimed at people lacking knowledge of basic physics or mathematics.)

@Brian Miller Which institution awarded you your PhD? What was it's subject? (Obviously you must have doctorate-level knowledge of the field to be able to make such as sweeping statement. Otherwise, you'd just be some no-nothing wingnut who would prefer to believe in conspiracy theories than accept something that you think might affect your standard of living, and I'm sure El Reg wouldn't run a comment like that.)
