It must be supercomputer week for me

Los Alamos scientists ask supercomputer how best to stop bird flu. Computer says, "42."

From the article:
Catherine Macken of Los Alamos said the computer model used in the study provided a surprising finding — using a weak vaccine in many people would be better than trying to vaccinate a smaller number of people with a more effective dose.

This is, of course, that the flu actually makes it here in as virulent a strain as is currently being seen. I have my doubts.
