from the article it states:
"...To simulate the Universe in every detail since time began, the computer
would have to have 1090 bits - binary digits, or devices capable of storing
a 1 or a 0 - and it would have to perform 10120 manipulations of those bits.
..."

My question is who's going to load 'every detail' from the "BIG"inning of
the bang theory to the time when history was being recorded?  Do you think
they might miss something here?

The problem is that the universe didn't use an HP 3000 for it's model.

Maybe the universe is modeled after  a Sun Sparc 10 (or can I say that
here without getting sensored).
