@fastkilmmm I have something to add to ur rant: CHINA- WORLD'S FASTEST SUPERCOMPUTER

JAPAN- EARTHQUAKES, VALCANOES, RADIATIION SPILLING INTO NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES...

JAPAN- INVADED CHINA OVER 70 YEARS AGO CAUSE THEY WERE JEALOUS BITCHES

CHINA and KOREA- HELPS JAPAN MANUFACTURE AND RESEARCH, WITHOUT CHINESE and KOREAN EXPERTISE THERE WOULD BE NO SONY, NO CANON,.

@VanillaSnow23 dynamic range. I'm into photography actually. And it's not because in movies they show stars, that it is the case in reality. Basically the brightness of the sun reflected on Earth is too big to make tiny stars appear, even at night with your eyes you need some seconds to see the stars... Just look at some recent ISS photos or videos to back this up. That's an easy one really!

@GesandterHollywoods Then I hope you're put in the place of the first person to die because a hospital life support system fails, or to the first baby to starve because of failing infrastructure, or to be murdered in the crime outburst, or to lose everything you have because of the failure of infrastructure and crime.

Never wish evil on anyone. I don't actually wish those things on you, I was just putting you in their shoes. No man is an island unto themselves.

@GesandterHollywoods we don't need help destroying our country ;)

They haven't ever gone this long without launching a manned flight, 2003 - 2005 two years, 2005 - 2008 three years, 2008 - 2012, four years, etc.

@fastkilmmm What are you going on about ? Sony and Canon have survived perfectly fine for 40 odd years making their own products in thier own countries. All China does is make them ! And when you say Korea, say either North or South because it is politically incorrect !

@HaroldHoltCantSwim While I don't condone that guy's ranting, supercomputers require a lot more skill than just throwing a bunch of pre-existing processor cores together.
