A "list of gaps we need to fill" would definitely a good feature to add to the OpenFL site, though.
'tis called gap analysis (between an as-is and the desired to-be state) and enterprise architects use tools for that. A Free (GPL) tool can be found here. The downside is that this takes a shitload of time.
We can observe clear evidence that Moore’s Law is ending, because we can point to a pattern that precedes the end of exploiting any kind of resource. But there’s no reason to panic, because Moore’s Law limits only one kind of scaling, and we have already started another kind.
Now Russia says it will continue to extend asylum protections to Snowden and won't send him back home.

When the parliament removed him from office he had no authority to authorize foreign troops on Ukrainian soil. Viktor Yanukovych was democratically elected and democratically removed.

You mean the president who attempted to go against the wishes of the people in signing the trade deal with Russia instead of the one with the EU.
Oh YEAH, it's MUCH better to sign a deal with the fucking IMF over loans than to get 16b right away!
The president that was unconstitutionally removed from power by the democratically elected parliament?
FTFY.
The president who used troops to kill 83 Ukrainians.

The snipers who shot at protesters and police in Kiev were allegedly hired by Maidan leaders, according to a leaked phone conversation between the EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton and Estonian foreign affairs minister
Care to explain why the west prefers to deal with people that do these things? Oh right, the west doesn't care who to deal with as long as their interests are fulfilled.
Hiding something?
Leaving out the irrelevant information. It's a democratically elected PM of a region with predominantly Russian-speaking population. Doesn't fit your narrative? Tough.
Yeltsen
The puppet Yeltsin can go and fuck himself. That document was not ratified. The RF has a parliament, you know? Amongst its duties are:
[...] the ratification of international treaties [...]

altered twisted reality
You mean, actual *literal* reality.
it can also puts your mind on a train of thought such that you can not break out of it unless someone is monitoring you[...]
That's why you're supposed to *always* have enough weed on you to calm down when tripping. Especially if you're alone.
Being a Soviet republic be the first step in joining the Russian Federation?
Huh? What do you mean? How are those two things related?
4. The Russian Federation guaranteed the territorial integrity [wikipedia.org] of the Ukraine.
Please Joe, there's a difference between "assurance" and "guarantee", besides it being an unratified agreement.
5. The Russian Federation has now invaded the Crimea.
Repeat after me: this is not an invasion.
In case you're wondering about stationing the troops only on the bases,
- the *democratically elected* president of Ukraine asked Russia to use military force.
[Putin] added that deposed Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych had no political future but asserted he was legally still head of state. "I think that he has no political future. And I told him this," Mr Putin said [...] (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/ukraine/10669670/Ukraine-Russia-crisis-live.html)
- Russia was asked by the Autonomous Republic of Crimea to aid them:
Sergei Aksenov, the [...] prime minister of the Crimea region, has declared that he is in control of all military, police and other security services in the region. But he appealed to Russia's president for help in keeping peace there.(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/ukraine/10670827/Ukraine-live-Crimea-leader-appeals-to-Putin-to-help-as-Obama-warns-of-costs-to-Moscow.html)
You seem to think that identifying as Russian means they want to stay in Russia. 55% of those who identified as Russian voter for the referendum. The vote showed that the majority wanted to stay with the Ukraine.
They were not in Russia, how could they have voted to stay in it? They supported the independency of Ukraine from the USSR, not from the RSFSR. So we're talking about two different things here. RF != RSFSR != USSR.
All we know is that the majority voted to stay with the Ukraine.
Not quite. All we know is that the majority voted to be part of an independent Ukraine vs. being a Soviet republic.
But both votes were still over 50% which means that the majority who voted decided to leave Russia and join teh Ukraine.
They decided to vote on the constitution. The question was not posed as "Would you like to be part of Ukraine, or part of Russia?" the question was "Do you want to be independent, or part of the USSR (not part of RSFSR)?" which is a completely different thing.
Trivia: RSFSR signed it's declaration of independence on the 12 June 1990, while the Ukrainian SSR followed on 16th of July. It's a complicated topic, but effectively, there was no USSR in 1991, even though it dissolved officially only in december.
If you don't vote you don't count.
Not in Germany. Here non-voters are distributed along each participating party. Besides these semantics, I wonder how many people at that time 1. knew what it meant to vote, 2. knew what exactly they were voting for (ok, that's a problem everywhere), and 3. understood the effect of not voting.
From the gut I'd say that on matters of importance, a majority of 2/3 is required. Maybe the other 40% thought, that not voting is a sign of protest?
Any place that has someone with Russian blood is apparently in danger of invasion by Russia to "save them."
Should I be awaiting Russian tanks in Berlin and Paris next then?
Take your bullshit neo-con sources and shove them up your ass. Putin did not "Declare war on Ukraine."
If Russia is "well within its rights" to invade, then, I would say that NATO is well within it rights to come to the assistance of Ukraine at Ukraine's request, and Ukraine is well within its rights to rearm with nuclear weapons.
First, that's not an invasion, if Russia would invade, the pictures would look different.
Second, NATO is not going to intervene, they're crazy but not total morons. As long as there is no official government that was elected by the Ukrainian people, the current nazi radicals can beg all they want. Btw, why don't you look at who got appointed as governors today?
Third, the IAEA as well as the EU would have a lot against the Ukraine arming itself with nuclear weapons.
Why don't you complain about the USSR's actions to the Supreme Soviet.
You seem to have missed the fact that Russia is the heir of the USSR? I could complain to the Duma deputies and it would have the same effect (none).
Russia's current behavior is a menace to peace.
LOL, look who's talking. HAHAHAHAHA Just like Kerry... LMAO!
So, why don't you mind your own business
That's what they do, actually.
keep your country out of Ukraine
Rather than having my own country, I'd like a world without borders, without banks and with abundance of everything as we mine other planets and explore space together.
Stop using Fox news rhetorics, and go check out Russia Today! Maybe you'll be able to figure out what's real by dividing one propaganda machine by the other.
were annexed or territory stolen
You're using some strong words here, but Finland used to be Sweden.
And as for the Baltic states,
The three republics, formerly autonomous regions within the former Russian Empire [...] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_changes_of_the_Baltic_states)
Estonia and Latvia, wouldn't even exist if it were not for the Russia and the USSR. Now, Lithuania is a different story, having occupied a huge territory over the course of the last millenium. That was a *long* time ago, though.
I won't bother mounting a counter-offensive, since you seem to be fond of arguing about semantics as opposed to the effect of your country's actions my list.
So, kindly, shut up, and stay at home!
Don't compare floating point numbers solely for equality.
