That's too American. They were probably testing simulations of how to block VPN's from all potential extraterrestrial sources.
Unfortunately, they had to stop after they reached that point: Team leader Gao Liang said the supercomputer had other clients in line that day.
And what, they can't save the data and continue the simulation later? Now there's a design flaw!

Boring! I added hooks into the Commodore PET's BASIC and extended it with preemptive multitasking co-routines (complete with parameter passing and stack swapping) back in 1982. ![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif)

Nah, that was the Apple II, where you had to use a separate tape deck and constantly fuss with the volume control. The PET was much more advanced! Built-in tape drive, no fussing!
Then again, I skipped all that and had dual floppy drives. Again, Commodore was superior to Apple -- double sided drives, higher density. The only reason Apple succeeded was because they gave away their computers to schools and kids went home telling their parents "I want an Apple!"

For years, it was believed that Bitcoin mixing is a safe way to transfer funds anonymously from one account to another, mainly because there was no technology to track all the transactions and reveal the destination account. Big Bitcoin is watching?
Or, "You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it."

after realizing that Bitcoin was a "transparent non-anonymous system by design."
Seriously? They didn't know that? Hmmm.

No one said that criminals were smart.
I suppose in this case it's more about service providers for criminals, but still.

A Team of Scientists Just Made Food From Electricity — and it Could be the Solution to World Hunger [^]
Quote: Finnish researchers have created a batch of single-cell protein that is nutritious enough to serve for dinner using a system powered by renewable energy. The entire process requires only electricity, water, carbon dioxide, and microbes. The synthetic food was created as part of the Food From Electricity project, which is a collaboration between Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) and the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.
After exposing the raw materials to electrolysis in a bioreactor, the process forms a powder that consists of more than 50 percent protein and 25 percent carbohydrates — the texture can also be changed by altering the microbes used in the production.
But, what if the bacteria unionize ?
«Differences between Big-Endians, who broke eggs at the larger end, and Little-Endians gave rise to six rebellions: one Emperor lost his life, another his crown. The Lilliputian religion says an egg should be broken on the convenient end, which is now interpreted by the Lilliputians as the smaller end. Big-Endians gained favor in Blefuscu.» J. Swift, 'Gulliver's Travels,' 1726CE

Don't bother calling me until they can make it look like, taste like, and have the texture of a good steak (or even a good hamburger).
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

And the remaining 25% (or do I not want to know)? 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.
