So, let's see -- half of the top ten are in the USA, two in China, two in Europe, and one in Japan. Granted, China is catching up (rapidly), but if you look beyond the #1 spot, the USA still pretty dominates the overall list. Expand this list out beyond the top ten, and SEVEN supercomputers from 11-20 are also in the USA (11-16 & 18), one is in Russia (17), and two in South Korea (19 & 20). So let's not all freak out here about China stealing the #1 and #3 slots on the list -- the USA still has quite a bit more computational resources than the Chinese,. ..
That's funny. Didn't Amazon.com just announce something similar to this? Granted, Wikipedia doesn't get a cut from that deal, but maybe Jimmy Wales should be talking to Jeff Bezos?
Are they sure that's not just CowboyNeal's online dating profile? Oh, wait! Why the hell would CowboyNeal even have an online dating profile?!?! Nevermind!
I would think that with such a game, the copy protection used would be that every time it's loaded, part of the game would disappear. Kind of like what happened to Michael's face every time he had plastic surgery. But then again, that may not be actual copy protection -- it seems to me that it would enhance the "Michael Jackson experience",. ..
Well, unfortunately these spacecraft are only going to the edge of space, at 60 miles up, not all the way to Alpha Centauri. We have already built the Apollo Program Wonder, and there really isn't another wonder to build until we make it to the nearest star,. . . So, unless we have some huge breakthrough in the next 40 years, we probably won't win the space race victory by 2050. Perhaps we can still shoot for a Diplomatic Victory in the UN (though Dubya tried for the Military Conquest victory),. ..
A chair was seen thrown from the top floor of Google HQ today, and supposedly, the voice of Google CEO Eric Schmidt was heard saying, "Just tell me it's not Facebook. F**king Mark Zuckerberg is a f**king pussy! I'm going to f**king bury that guy! I have done it before, and I'll do it again! I'm going to f**king kill Facebook!"
Watching all those movies back to back would take approximately 8.5 years alone. There's no possible way anyone could do that and still have enough time to post to Netflix about it! It has to be either bots randomly rating movies with accounts, or users rating movies based primarily on their title, synopsis, and whether they are likely to want to watch the movie or not.

MySpace is dying.
It's not like it's the promised land or anything. It's just New Jersey! ;-)
Shall we play a game?
. . . Compass needles point towards YOU!
Actually, Tianhe-1 was their first, so Tianhe-1A is the second generation.
1. Tianhe-1A (China)

3. Nebulae (China)
4. TSUBAME (Japan)
5. Hopper (USA, LBNL)
6. Tera-100 (France)
7. Roadrunner (USA, LANL)
8. Kraken (USA, UT)
9. JUGENE (Germany)
10. Cielo (USA, LANL)

Why not? Before Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales used to own Bomis, Inc., which was in the online porn business,. . .

In Soviet Russia, TV watches YOU! (also had to be said)

That's ironic. I heard that's about the size of the new kernel for Windows 8!
I heard Microsoft is already working on a competitor to UEFI. It's called UFIA. ;-)

The last straw will be a chair thrown through the window.
This is excellent news! I will finally be able to set my password up as "CowboyNeal's Mother's Basement!" ;-)

Just bring in Otto? He's efficient, a good pilot, doesn't take up much space, and can be inflated by one of the Flight Attendants if necessary,. . .
There go Nadya "Octo-Mom" Suleman's chances of ever landing a reality show with them,. . . (I guess there's a bright side to everything ;-)
In the same sense that "Syfy" stopped being the Science Fiction Channel quite some time ago as well,. . . ;-)
I heard that Sarah Palin can pick this up quite easily from her home in Wasilla!
It's no wonder Brett Favre can't decide whether he wants to retire or not!
I heard that the FAA investigators are camped out at Sarah Palin's house. After all, Palin told them that she could see the crash from there,. . .
