The WIRED article is interesting. The problem with computers doing science in the form of virtual modeling seems to me to be one of never being sure you've covered every conceivable variable in setting the sim up. This will be a factor in the advancement of the global warming agenda, which is the only "science" mentioned in the article specifically. Check out this little nugget of info that crept in:

"Currently, the state of Tennessee, which is more than 400 miles long, is represented by only two pixels in most global climate models. The new computers will drastically increase resolution, in both space and time, and improve accuracy."

Ya think?? That's the "science" we've had preached to us so far on the matter...
