Latest Top 500 Supercomputer List Released
chrb writes "BBC News is reporting on the release of the June 2010 Top 500 Supercomputer list. Notable changes include a second Chinese supercomputer in the top ten. A graphical display enables viewing of the supercomputer list by speed, operating system, application, country, processor, and manufacturer."
Seriously, China is able to see a lot of the advancements made in the US through its army of grad students(the Chinese government essentially helps them cheat on all the tests they need to do well on in order to study in the US, they consider it to be in their national interests). Meanwhile China won't let a foreigner anywhere near their technology. Is it any surprise then that they are getting close to the top?

Nope, but nothing innovative has come out of China since the communists took over. I don't even have problems with pretty much any other nation on earth. It's just China that steals technology en masse then calls it their own. It's China that is trying to take over the world. It's China that is destroying the world economy.
Thats why I boycott Chinese goods. I don't boycott any other nations stuff, and actually I am better for it. Chinese goods are insanely shoddy. I tend to get much better quality when I buy Thai clothes for instance, and for the tiny bit more it costs me when I purchase it it winds up costing much less in replacement costs in the end.
I paid a bit more for glasses that were made in Japan, and despite years of abuse and neglect the things still work perfectly, I probably would have gone through about 4 $80 Chinese made glasses for the 1 $120 Japanese one. China makes garbage and I would be willing to bet that their "entry" here is a forgery as well.
