Okay, everybody try not to laugh when you read the quote from this Network World article:
Big Blue this week said its researchers had created specialized algorithms to help model and manage natural disasters such as wildfires, floods and diseases…. The model allows all unforeseen challenges to be solved, mostly within an hour, and has very good scalability that promises to gracefully manage even larger models in the future.
It’s good to know that in Magic Future Kingdom we’ll be able to solve all unforeseen challenges within an hour. That’ll make our lives a lot easier.
