Cray XK6 Supercomputer Used To Simulate Ice Cream 55

An anonymous reader writes "The processing power available inside modern supercomputers isn't just able to help us better understand the universe we live in, develop better medicines, and model complex systems. Apparently it is also helping to make better ice cream. Research has been carried out at the University of Edinburgh to simulate the soft matter that makes up ice cream. More specifically, scientists are trying to understand the complex interactions occurring between the many different ingredients that make up your favorite flavor of the delicious cold stuff."

Comment Re:Ok..how about taxes? (Score 1) 2369

I find it hard to believe that anyone still believes that corporations pay taxes. Corporations are non-beings. Corporations have no ability to create their own income beyond what human beings provide.

In my small business I don't even pay my own taxes, my clients do, and their clients pay theirs, until it finds a human being at the end of the chain. If government raises taxes, I raise my prices and so do my clients; its a vicious cycle of never-ending inflation. Vote for who you want to, it won't change the fact that the people pay the taxes, so stop whining about the "big bad corporations" and vote for a tax system that works.
