TITLE: The Good the Bad and the Awful--Scientific Simulation and Prediction

ABSTRACT:
Worthwhile computer simulations are done to explore uncharted territory,
resolve a well-posed scientific or technical question, or to make a design
choice.
Some excellent work is reviewed Some less happy stories are recounted.
I then concentrate my attention upon astrophysical simulations, showing how
they can explore possible scenarios for stellar explosions.
