New Alloy Stronger Than Fe And Ti
SoCalChris writes "According to this article on MSNBC.com, researchers at CalTech have discovered a new alloy that is stronger than steel and titanium, can be cast in a mold like plastic, and sharpened like glass. The first plans for the new alloy are to be used in golf clubs, baseball bats, skis, and cell phone covers."

According to Ayn Rand if all CEO's of the world collectively went on strike we would all starve to death. The premise is that our industry leaders are leaders because it takes a rare and special quality to run an industry and the "common" man just doesn't have what it takes. Kind of like if Bill Gates, Alan Cox, and Steve Jobs quit working the computer industry would self destruct.
This is brilliant? In real life if the top (define "top" however the hell you want to) 1000 industry leaders (define..."") all went into hiding there would be 2000 people of equal competence scrambling to take their place immediately.
Ayn Rand's novels are merely an attempt (failed) to prove that the elite are elite because they are more intelligent and capable than anyone else. Being born into a wealthy family or being included in the "good ole boy" network has nothing to do with it. Disgusting.

Someone from the United States, when abroad and asked where they're from, will reply "The United States"
Someone from a country other than the United States (European and African countries most notably), when confirming someones nationality, will ask if they're "From America", referring to the United States.
Don't even try to pull that crap, I've seen it enough to know.
What about firearms that are made from ceramics? Ceramics have similar properties, and even some barrels have been made from ceramics (and are not easily detected in X-ray devices or metal detectors)
"Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives" should be a convenience store, not a government agency.
