If TFA wants to talk about supercomputer then it should stick to supercomputers. What is the point of sticking in the following:

1, TFA has failed to substantiate its claim that Ted Cruz is a climate change skeptic
 
2. Even if Ted Cruz is a climate change skeptic it still has NOTHING to do with the funding of supercomputers
 
3. Supercomputer can be used for many things, not only for climate pattern modelling
 
4. TFA also failed to prove that Ted Cruz has refused to fund the purchase of supercomputer
 
5. Even if Ted Cruz is such a villian, that the guy would end up destroying NSF and whatnots, why didn't the American government, led by the Obama administration and its Democratic party congress critins, before Ted Cruz arrives at the scene, fund the purchase of supercomputers?
 
Is TFA going to be an article about the lack of supercomputer or is TFA going to be a political character assassination propaganda against Ted Cruz?
 
I have no relationship whatsoever with Ted Cruz. I just can't stand this kind of below-the-belt sneak attack disguising as a Slashdot article

Nowadays they do assign names to typhoons / hurricanes, and TFA gives me an idea ... why stop at branding vulnerabilities when we can branding disasters?

All we need to do is to supply a meme, a logo, a theme song, ... and we can even throw in a new aerobic dance step as a bonus!

Anyone thinks such a venture might sell? How about we crowdsource our funding @ www.kickstarter.com?

First when it was found out that IRS was illegal harassing citizen groups in the USA, and an investigation was launch, IRS responded by telling the world that all the computers used by the people involved that case were mysteriously and co-incidently damaged --- so no trace of guilt could be found

Then it came the case of the records of H1B be destroyed, without letting the public to check it

Now this

I have been in America since the 1970's, and when I first landed at America, the Watergate thing was still a very hot topic

No matter how tricky that Tricky Dicky was, he paled in comparison to the wholesale destruction of evidence the Obama administration is doing

When I first arrived in America, I was a refugee from China

Now, I am an American citizen

Back when I was a refugee, I felt so awed by the American system - that even the President can be thrown out of office if he did rotten things

But now, as an American citizen, I feel rotten. I feel rotten because as an American citizen I can *DO NOTHING* about the illegal activitiess my own government is involved in

I feel so powerless, I feel so ashame

I know that, the founding fathers of my adopted country, the United States of America, told me, in the Declaration of Independence, that it is my duty, and the duty of ALL AMERICANS, to overthrow the government if the government turns rogue

The Obama administration is rogue, but as an American citizen, I have failed to carry out my duty, as has been instructed by the founding fathers

I am ashamed, man. Very very much ashamed, to have failed to live up to the expectation of the founding fathers, to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America !

I do not understand why the need to give foreign aid in the first place, I really don't

I am from China, and when I was in China, China was hit by the double whammy from Chairman Mao - in the form of great famine and cultural upheaval

Tens of millions of people perished

Despite of the suffering, China didn't receive any fucking foreign aid from nobody --- and at the end of it, China still survive, and the population of China is still over one Billion

Why then the West wants to give out money to help those "poor" countries? I mean, what the West is thinking?

They think without the "foreign aid" those poor countries will die?

For thousands of years the people of those "poor countries" were there before the "West" is known as the "West ... and they never got any "Western aid" at all, and still, they survived, right?

Don't care if it's brown skin, white skin, dark skin, yellow skin or whatever shade of skin those people are, with or without foreign aid they will survive

With or without the "disruptive method", those "foreign aid" is a waste of money anyway
