Space Daily has the details about the tookkit

Who took the kit?

I took it!

Sorry, I couldn't resist...

We use DAKOTA (actually just the physics portion known as SOUTH DAKOTA) at our lab. That thing is a badlands of bug-addled crap, let me tell you.

For instance, last week one of the guys set up a simulation of particle density for the molecular cohesion group. He needed to calculate the kinetic flux and found that those government bozos had used E = mc^3 for calculating relativistic energy. No way to fix it without code so we had to do it all with the wrong equation and then multiply the result by 2/3.

Now we can change those errors, though it'll probably take a baker's dozen of us just to list them, let alone fix 'em.

• Crack (The first one is always free)

Please elaborate.
