A supercomputer with the computing power of 80,000 home computers is to be installed somewhere in Tenerife by some Japanese bloke as reported here.

I confess I'm a bit unclear as to why in Tenerife, but it's going to cost 320 million dollars, I think.  :017: Perhaps they'll need web designers.  ;)

I'm all in favour of buying fancy gadgets if the money's there, but surely the Cabildo de Tenerife has more important things to do with 350 million euros right now  ::)

Hang on, there's a difference here. A state of the art super-computer is far more important than some stretch of road.

Quite.  Surely an omniscient being would know there was an 's' in 'omniscient'  :P
