    Default O, the Irony

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencete...polluters.html

    The Met Office has caused a storm of controversy after it was revealed their £30million supercomputer designed to predict climate change is one of Britain's worst polluters.

    The massive machine - the UK's most powerful computer with a whopping 15 million megabytes of memory - was installed in the Met Office's headquarters in Exeter, Devon.

    It is capable of 1,000 billion calculations every second to feed data to 400 scientists and uses 1.2 megawatts of energy to run - enough to power more than 1,000 homes.
    Ain't that just par for the course?

    And it's still more efficient than Al Gore's mansion.
