    yes, the soviets landed on the moon, put rovers on mars, send probes to all the planets, put a telescope in space to watch 100,000 stars for years to discover transiting planets, and have the lead in deploying and developing the ISS.

    oh, wait, they didn't and they don't.....

    bullshit, most Nazi technology e.g. aircraft was superior.

    now that subset known as "information technology" might be another matter....

    Get your facts correct, as senator in summer 2008 Obama flip-flopped and *supported* the bill.

    Lying flip flopper, it's what he does.

    that's half of it.

    and the other half is that a backward, anti-freedom police state party full of mega-corporate bitches won.

    Past the hot button issues that give the illusion that people have a choice, Obama has done a *wonderful* job continuing the very worst of the Bush-Cheney agenda. what a liar, what a crook, what an empty suit. Even his vaunted "Health Care Bill" does nothing but further enrich big pharmy, big insurance, big healthcare chains.

    yes, some people did that, only to find their life investments tank in the past four years. at least I didn't pay for them, it was employer contribution. still, like the Cheech and Chong title "up in smoke" guess I'll keep working then. *shrug*

    For a company with a market cap of less than half a billion to have made 1 in 20 of the Top500 is an extraordinary achievement. IBM -> $215 billion, HPQ ->$27 billion

    we know stars will be burning for the next 10 to 100 trilllion years (10^13 to 10^14 years, not the UK trillion),

    of course most stars have already formed from the initial surplus of the big bang and the short lived first stars which were hundreds of times as massive as our sun. we're now in the age of long lived stars and less births. the good spot for life, with heavier elements.
