  1. what happened to Japan ? on China Overtakes US In Latest Top 500 Supercomputer List (enterprisecloudnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Reagan popped their bubble.

  2. a matter of character(s) on China Says Foreign Firms Won't Be Forced To Turn Over Technology (vice.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Ji says its ok. Communist Party official has his fingers crossed and doesn't has that authority. Surely after 2000 yrs, there are chinese characters for "fingers crossed while lying" and "double crossed", for dealing with foreigners if not everybody generally.

  3. Re:100% Renewable is not feasible on Cities Are Scolding Countries at UN Climate Conference To Cut Emissions (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    That sounds like a glowing recommendation.

  4. Re:Secure Windows is a phrase that means... on Microsoft Releases Standards For Highly Secure Windows 10 Devices (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    In most of the world, highly secure windows mean 1/2" to 3/4" steel bars...

  5. the real dirty birds on 'Panama Papers' Group Strikes Again with 'Paradise Papers' (theguardian.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Strange how they don't dig up even bigger dirt during the globlists' cabals like the Bushes, Clintons and O.

    So far, what I see is obstruction of government reform by the radical left, after setting up the US and the planet to fail catastrophically and/or become the personal plantations of an even smaller, nastier elite.

  6. The proverbial "day late and a dollar short"

  7. Re:Another Sad Tale on Hewlett-Packard Historical Archive Destroyed In California Fires (pressdemocrat.com) · · Score: 1

    ok you got my curiosity, maybe others too. Here's your chance to perhaps use the power of networking - opensource to start something.

    Which one ? Standard or a steel? Now is the time, tomorrow might be too late.

  8. publicly ding CEOs on Hewlett-Packard Historical Archive Destroyed In California Fires (pressdemocrat.com) · · Score: 1

    Humanity and HP's founders are victims of the clueless megacorporate cultures. Not just Keysight but every HP successor CEO since Bill Hewitt died in 2001 should dinged in their biographies for failure to preserve and protect the founders' legacy. I'm thinking Wikipedia's hagiographies as an important endpoint .

  9. Sounds like you guys are making the case for hybrids.

    Couple a limited size Formula 1 engine for efficiency at optimum efficiency and your waste heat makes for high efficiency winter heat...

  10. Actually the "protest" is a racially charged, in-your-face insult to a large fraction of the paying public, and a power play. It is not relevant to my original comment whether the national anthem is political or not etc.

    The NFL has simply trashed its brand with a large fraction of its paying customers.
    I already didn't care about football.

  11. Fakebook with it's thieving owner, is long overdue to join MySpace and the NFL on the brands-that-shot-themselves-in-head list.

  12. Google pixel2 - with features so advanced, although you think you own it, it actually owns you...

    ....belongs in the the conspiracy theories column.

    Nope, clearly in China's profit column PLUS Paris had other perks for them, at our expense.
    Solar panels, money losers for the US economy, have been a massive export market for China.

  14. Re:Few people cares on Microwave Tech Could Produce 40TB Hard Drives In the Near Future (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Home security cameras gobble up HDD if you want archival for slow motion problems or a belated investigation.

  15. Re:Political Party explains this on Why China is Winning the Clean Energy Race (axios.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    China is NOT worried about CAGW dolt. CAGW is simply another foreign money maker for them and strategically exploits the US. Urban particulates for black lungs, NOx, SOx are their immediate problems.

  16. 20 cent/kwh power and still 9B in debt, surrounded by cheap fuel sources and ocean transportation. tsk, tsk.

    Takes talent to be that corrupt and incompetent.

  17. AMD v Intel on Intel's Just Launched 8th Gen 'Coffee Lake' Processors Bring the Heat To AMD's Ryzen · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Intel the dairy farmer, milking the world.

    One wonders whether we would still be running 286s if there were no AMD. It has been AMD that has made Intel actually compete in x86 space for 35+ yrs.

    Time for the Chinese to put Bill/Hill back on retainer. They'll know who to call...

  19. The copying-est one also.

  20. The US is somewhat tired of computer wanker waving for 50+ years. We solved the practical problems of life, and a lot of made up ones...

    If you have half a brain, you now own a supercomputer to solve problems that would be illegal to export 20 or 30 years ago.
