any further questions?

Radhakrishnan was basically Indias "W. von Braun" and made ISRO the success it is today - including MOM. He just retired today.
After delivering five consecutive successful PSLV missions, including the PSLV-C08 that lifted Chandrayaan-I, and leading several crucial technology development at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), Radhakrishnan took the reins of India's space programme in November 2009.

With the 12 successful PSLV missions, the successful launch of GSLV with indigenous cryogenic stage, the Mars Orbiter Mission, LVM-3 experimental flight with CARE module, the six Insat/GSAT satellites, three navigation satellites and six earth observation satellites (including RISAT-1, the first microwave imaging satellite), Radhakrishnan is leaving Isro at its “most glorified pedestal ever”, it said.
He has been nominated to Natures top ten scientists list

It's not even logical to expect to prove God with science

It's not even logical for science to prove anything. Science either accepts or rejects ideas and theories based on evidence, and is always open to revise the previous acceptance or also rejects based on new evidence or new ways of looking at things.

Well, binaries dont talk much so there is that.

And nobody is going to build big budget video games if everything in mobile app stores costs a dollar. Except Chris Roberts somehow managed to score $60M dollars for a game without shipping anything.

Dude. Even Steorn is still around ! Apparently they started re-tweeting or posting some funnay stuff about the new free house heating systems again. Boggles my mind.

There are tons of people out there that could be pissed with Sony in general for any number of reasons, such as publishing their credit card details from PSN 2011 hack or whatever.
Also, if there is any country that would see japanese megacorps take hits, it's actually South Korea - their actual economic rival. Or China. If this is more of industrial espionage, corporation scale cyberwar i can think of a couple large ones that might have resources and will to do this - and then implicate the funny NORKs.

Hydrogen lobby is anything but letting the market decide. Transportation is actually kind of tricky to leave to the market as transportation requires large infrastructure investments. Such as distributing gas, diesel, laying down train tracks, installing charging stations and so on.
Governments will inevitably meddle, and meddle they will. Corn ethanol was/is a perfect example of government meddling gone wrong. Hydrogen is another disaster waiting in the winds.

Well to wheels, hydrogen is probably the most polluting fuel cycle imagined. At present like 95% of the hydrogen supply comes from fossil fuels, and end to end cycle efficiency is even lower than an average gas guzzling SUV.

Rather than trying to push this into passenger cars, working on hydrogen based long haul trucks and airliners makes a lot more sense. But even then the theorethical "green" benefits are not clear cut.

There was an amazing XCOM or Ufo - the enemy unknown port on one of these, with reworked controls that matched stylus screen perfectly. Available on sourceforge or some place. There was a decent chess proggy too.

Zuck , it took you what 11 years to learn that FaceMash was probably not the best idea ?

What is awesome about the Chinese efforts right now is that you know there is a followup for everything in the works. Slow, meticulous, but it is happening.

Change'2 was built as a backup to Chang'e-1. After the first one succeeded, the second one was upgraded and launched on a more ambitious mission. Chang'e-3 had a backup built. Reentry vehicle test flew. Tiangong-2 is in the works. There is gradual engineering capability build-up happening, sort of similar to early era US/USSR spacecraft series. Except that the success rates now are much higher than they were 40 years ago.

Remember Mariner, Pioneer, Venera , Ranger, Surveyor, Luna .. all of these were kind of similar in that they were steady improvements in what could be achieved.

Android, and Chromebooks.
