Russian Achievements vs. United States Achievements
 

who do you think contributed more to the world scientifically, economically, culturally and so on?

Yep, that's a real difference :1orglaugh :thumbsup

P.S. The thread title is misleading. Please explain what exactly do you mean when you say "the United States achievements"? It's a country of immigrants. I don't remember any achievements made by native Americans (they were slaughtered by the immigrants). All those so-called US achievements were made by people who've grown up and got the education somewhere else. E.g. Albert Einstein (Germany), Igor Sikorsky (Russia), Nikola Tesla (Serbia), Wernher von Braun (Germany), Nabokov (Russia) etc. Nobody of them had the US education. Nobody of them was born in the USA.

Tetris (Russian: Те́трис, pronounced [ˈtɛtrʲɪs]) is a Russian tile-matching puzzle video game, originally designed and programmed by Alexey Pajitnov. It was released on June 6, 1984,[1] while he was working for the Dorodnicyn Computing Centre of the Academy of Science of the USSR in Moscow.[2] He derived its name from the Greek numerical prefix tetra- (all of the game's pieces contain four segments) and tennis, Pajitnov's favorite sport.

ztill morning here and i'am allmost done with my daily checklist

invention of the internet is probably the most important innovation of the 21st century?

Course not. The most important innovations are Space technology and nuclear power which is based on the famous Einstein formula (invented by a German guy). The Internet won't work without orbital satellites (invented by a Russian guy). Even if the Internet was (which is not) the most important invention of 20s century. Do you know who has invented URI/URL, HTTP and HTML? It was Timothy John Berners-Lee - a British guy (surprise ;)).

you drunk man? better research more

Sergey Mikhaylovich Brin (Russian: Серге́й Миха́йлович Брин; born August 21, 1973) is a Russian-born American computer scientist and internet entrepreneur who, together with Larry Page, co-founded Google, one of the world's most profitable Internet companies.

well i guess better this than pcbc threads

You mean 20th century?

on to the topic whoever invented toilet seat - wins

Besides Tetris & Google, you forgot Whatsapp & PayPal :)

yea, my bad :thumbsup

what does Tetris have to do with the other 3? One is a pretty cool game (and not much more than that) invented in Russia, the other 3 are are relatively important inventions created in the US..

If they were American citizens when they invented or discovered then they are American achievements. For many of them their accomplishments would not have occurred without the freedom afforded them in America. Meanwhile though there have been many achievements by Americans who were born and raised here.

Herman Hollerith who founded the Tabulating Machine Company (Later IBM) and whose punch card was used as the standard for most of the 20th century for example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Hollerith

Herman Hollerith (February 29, 1860 – November 17, 1929) was an American inventor who developed an electromechanical punched card tabulator to assist in summarizing information and, later, accounting. He was the founder of The Tabulating Machine Company that was consolidated in 1911 with three other companies to form the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company, later renamed IBM. Hollerith is regarded as one of the seminal figures in the development of data processing.[3] His invention of the punched card tabulating machine marks the beginning of the era of semiautomatic data processing systems, and his concept dominated that landscape for nearly a century.

Or Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce who are credited with the modern integrated circuit:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_circuit

A precursor idea to the IC was to create small ceramic squares (wafers), each containing a single miniaturized component. Components could then be integrated and wired into a bidimensional or tridimensional compact grid. This idea, which seemed very promising in 1957, was proposed to the US Army by Jack Kilby and led to the short-lived Micromodule Program (similar to 1951's Project Tinkertoy).[9] However, as the project was gaining momentum, Kilby came up with a new, revolutionary design: the IC.

Jack Kilby's original integrated circuit

Newly employed by Texas Instruments, Kilby recorded his initial ideas concerning the integrated circuit in July 1958, successfully demonstrating the first working integrated example on 12 September 1958.[10] In his patent application of 6 February 1959,[11] Kilby described his new device as "a body of semiconductor material … wherein all the components of the electronic circuit are completely integrated." The first customer for the new invention was the US Air Force.

Or of course Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Bill Gates all of whom were instrumental in bringing personal computer technology to the masses.

One of my personal favorite American achievement of this century was SOSUS which I worked with in the Navy. We kept watch on all the Soviet submarines on a routine basis. The Soviets never beat SOSUS in the 50 years or so it was in operation even though they tried and tried.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOSUS

SOSUS systems consisted of bottom mounted hydrophone arrays connected by underwater cables to facilities ashore. The individual arrays were installed primarily on continental slopes and seamounts at locations optimized for undistorted long range acoustic propagation. The combination of location within the ocean and the sensitivity of arrays allowed the system to detect acoustic power of less than a watt at ranges of several hundred kilometres (The system is so sensitive that it can even detect the presence of Soviet/Russian Tu-95 Bear 4-engine bombers flying overhead; the tips of the bombers's long propellers exceed the speed of sound, creating sonic booms as they rotate. These sonic booms reach the surface of the ocean below, which then transmits the sonic shocks to the underwater hydrophones.[2]).

Ummm by Russian Immigrants.

Chief engineer of Sputnik was a Ukrainian. :thumbsup

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite

The first artificial satellite was Sputnik 1, launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957, and initiating the Soviet Sputnik program, with Sergei Korolev as chief designer (there is a crater on the lunar far side which bears his name). This in turn triggered the Space Race between the Soviet Union and the United States.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Korolev

Korolev was born in Zhytomyr, modern Ukraine

Fucking imbecile. Nabokov got his studies done in Europe, not Russia. Tesla also got his studies in France you dumb fuck.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...can_scientists

That doesn't count.
And Henry Ford wasn't american because he wasn't Indian Apache.

and how to distinguish a Russian from the Ukrainian? riddle :)

and how to distinguish a German-American, or a Russian-American or a Jewish-Americah or (name whatever version you want here) from an American? No Riddle. You can't. We are all Americans. We are either Native Americans who are descendants of the original migrants to the Americas or descendants of European immigrants or Asian imigrants or whatever other version of immigrants.

And most of us are quite proud of that fact :thumbsup

.

I didn't even need to check this thread (but I did) to know CyberSEO would be on this like a fly on Russian shit. 3rd post too! Impressive.

Russian insecurity is like a radar. PING! Here they come, throwing their achievements at us in hopes we won't notice no one cares.

Doesn't matter anyway. The Illuminati win. They always win.

Actually most of the Native Americans were wiped out by the plague, introduced by Europeans but long before any immigration was occurring or the United States was even dreamed of (the estimates are somewhere between 20 million and 70 million, similar to the numbers attributed to Stalin).

So while the immigrants to the Americas did not treat the Native population well and there are definitely examples of horrendous acts against the Native population in our history, the immigrants were not directly responsible for the annihilation that you are attributing to them.

As far as accomplishments, the accomplishments of native Americans were plenty. Without the American Indian populations (South and North) you would not have corn, tomatoes or potatoes amongst others.

Ukraine is an "independent" country since 1991. All the times before it was a part of Russia. E.g. we have Siberia, Urals, Korelia etc. Ukraine and Belorussia were parts of Russia as well. They speak Russian, they have Russian culture and their pulation is Russian as well. So your comment just shows a luck of knowledge about my country. Go ask Marina who she is and which country she is from. Today it's Ukraine (the independent country), but it was founded by the empress of Russia in 1794.

I don't think he will answer to your question, because he don't know that all Ukrainians are ethnic Russians, while African-American, Jew-Americans, German-Americans etc are absolutely different people. They have their own culture, languages etc. They even look different.

P.S. About 25% of Israelis are Russian Jews. They speak Russian, they have learned in Russian schools etc. But at least they have Jewish roots. So ethically they are not Russians (in theory). You can't say the same about the Ukrainians. They are not different to us in any aspect, because they are as Russian as we are.

Cool diagram. What's even better is that vodka in the photo is Slovak. Nice job retard.

"The internet won't work without satellites". LMAO :) :) :) That's priceless.

Once again for a stupid: the Internet (the world's global network) will not work w/o satellites. It would be called the Ethernet in the best case. Should I explain you why or you will start using your brain to prevent a public humiliation here?

Who cares where it was made? Voka's recipe was made by Mendeleev (yes, that's the guy who has invented the periodic table). Tell us what was invented by always-drunk Czech alcoholics for the last 1000 years? Pissed of pants or maybe cirrhosis?

My new SIG MATERIAL right here.
Right on!

A better half of those "Russian" scientists are Jews :1orglaugh
Dipshit can't differentiate between ethnicity and citizenship. If its Georgian scientist its "great Russian" yet when its a dictator he is one of them "Georgians" :1orglaugh

You fuck stupid not study hard or what? Do ask my mother idiot. No satellite, no rugs, no interweb. I feel sorry for your educate not good. Come to my village is now minus 45 C. Inerweb work fine like my mother clock. I fuck ban you because I feel sorry for your children. Pissed of pants?

Chill, no need to be hostile. He is always debating SOMETHING with the Americans and his posts are great :thumbsup

Nothing short of greatness :1orglaugh:thumbsup
He is a hardcore drunk and I love reading his posts.

No fuckign different. Your american education no good here. Wekipedia? LOL, don't joke my mothers. Not true because you make it up tomorrow in sleep and today you say loud. I sorry for your educations of future children.

The main difference by surnames. Ukrainian ending in "o" - Klichko, Poroshenko etc...
Why didn't you mention migrants from Africa? :1orglaugh
Ukrainians is younger brothers :1orglaugh

CyberSEO is a very typical Russian.

I think "whatever other version of immigrants" covers pretty much anyone with an immigrant background. I chose the ones I did because most of the people I grew up around were from Jewish, Russian or German immigrant families so that is what I am most familiar with and what came to mind.

I also didn't mention Irish, Italian, Spanish, Mexican and myriad other origins that make up the United States population. How come you don't point that out?

.

1. Vodka was invented by the Polish. They Invented it in the 15th century. They beat Mendeleev by a couple of years to say the least :)

2. You don't need satellites for the internet. Quite a few people have already mentioned it already here so I won't bother explaining it any further to you.

3. The WHO shows Russia as the highest rate of Alcoholic use disorders per capita in the world.

Anyone know what this is?

http://img.labnol.org/di/undersea_cable_map.png

You truly are an ignorant person and apparently just do not recognize that you are.

I would think that that is probably undersea communications cable routing.

Not 100% sure on that but it looks similar to that.

.

Too many words. I wonder why your brain is not blown up yet. A hint for you: "pigshit" ;)

Sure, sure :) The 40% Vodka was made in Russia in 20th century. All the time before that it had no strict recipe.

:1orglaugh

I have no idea what it shows and I why should I believe to some WHO. Who is that WHO? :) Czech republic has never won a single war and its people have not invented a single useful thing for all the times. The always drunk nation is useless. Russia is on the other hand. It's the biggest country on the Globe because it was always able to defeat all the enemies and it has a countless army of scientists and inventors. It would be stupid to argue on that, right? Go get back to your beer and vodka. It's the best you can do, admit it already :pimp

Al Gore invented the internet and global cooling

Yep, sometimes look different, sound different, act different, are different. That is what I love about America. There is no one type of American. We are all different and we all gain because of it.

By the carpet art design on wall.

P.S. When it was shown on the Ukraine, the people in the cinema have added "and down there?" ;)
