And a lot more people running around with holes in their throats, and missing their lower jaw.
Throat cancer / cancer of the mouth etc... aren't as lethal as lung cancer, AFAIK. So what you said is true, from a certain point of view.
Beside the point, this is all just Darwinism anyway. I don't necessarily think we should be trying to prevent all these deaths. Educate the people and let them decide for themselves.
I could have been looking at the field oxide, but I don't think so. But perhaps it wasn't the gate oxide either. I have a hard copy of the picture somewhere, if I get a chance I will scan it and you can take a look.
I have looked at a lot of gate-oxides on semi-current CPU's (most recent was the ppc750), and the smallest gate oxide I have ever seen was about 92 nanometers in thickness. That is roughly 920 atoms thick.
2.5 nanometers is about the limit of a resolvable object on our SEM.
Plus what are they talking about 5 atoms thick? not all atoms are the same size, and Silicon Dioxide is 3 atoms per molecule right? so wouldn't the limit be 6 atoms?
What exactly is this useful for? Arranging Icons? I have to say that I feel the windows taskbar is far superior to this idea. I am not a fan of microsoft by any means, either.
Seems like people get really excited about metaphors in computing whether they are useful or not.

There probably already is. Most of the surface mount chips that I know of are plastic encapsulated.
Well you obviously have your threshold at -1 or you wouldn't have read the message. So why do you care? If people want to trust in the moderator/censors then let 'em. I personally keep my threshold at -1 cuz I like to decide for myself what is worthy of consideration.

I don't understand the argument for more gun control here. The kids at that colorado highschool were already breaking something like 19 laws (I haven't verified this, just heard it on CNN).
So, um, I guess 20 laws is the magic number then? If we had only enacted one more law then this tragedy wouldn't have occured? I say bullsh*t.
I wonder how many people would have been hurt or killed if a couple of the good-guys had guns in that situation. I personally think it would have been less.

This is not flame bait...
I am just curious, would you name a few movies that you thought were really good?
Obviously everyone has different tastes... so it is no surprise that there are sci-fi fans out there who didn't like The Matrix.
Did you like Dune?

I have never heard of Germainium Dioxide. Not that it doesn't exist I guess.
This limit was applied to Silicon Dioxide. This is also known as GLASS. This is an insulator! Not a semi-conductor.
That was truly a great post. I am still laughing!

Ever heard of a hack-saw?

I guess I should have said MHz (not milli-Hertz)
Well, the Russians ofcourse.
Seriously though, if intel were impressed with the simulations, they might fab some low mHz-high micron prototypes.

Call me anal, but the site did specify 1GB catridges and not 2GB. At least on the internal IDE page.
