Progress Toward Single Molecule Transistors

    This should really be a boon for portable devices, as smaller sizes are always benificial to them. Incidentally, portable devices are also an area that Linux truly shines. Once products are developed that take advantage of these new single molecule transistors, I would wager that the first OS you will see running on them is Linux. As companies are able to see the portability of Linux onto cutting-edge devices for themselves, they will begin to leave propritary embeded Windows OSes (CE, NT embedded, XP embedded) for the much more dynamic Linux.

    Did you use your parents' 28.8 aol connect to do that? Wow. you're really cool! Can i be like you? I want to live in my parents' basement too!
