OK i'll bite: _generator_ ever heard of synthesis my dear A/C? creating molecules from other molecules with the help of some nice enzymes? For instance having a glucose->alcohol pathway on a chip and switching it on when you feel so inclined? It would be much simpler though to wire up the endocrienal glands that create endorfines and stimulate thos when you want to. Or even better stimulating your pleasure centers directly.

Comparing pre-natal technology with very mature and specialized technology is not the best way to prepare for the future. Who cares that most machines need round wafers if you don't even know if these machines can be used with this new tech. If it is more economical to use square wafers then there will be machines for square wafers. Most endproduct is square too, so round wafers means more waste anyhow.

Judging from the lenght of the quotes you have troubles understanding what you read.
Linking silicon to biological molecules is interesting because you can make cheap biological sensors linked to digital interface. There are plenty of proteins that can sense the presence of very specific molecules (receptors, immunoproteins) but thus far is has been quite hard to have a non-destructive way to read the output of these molecules. If you can 'glue' these molecules reliably to a silicon substrate and keep them 'working', then you can create very simple but very specific sensors for very many compounds. Think for instance about a device that can signal if an ovulating woman is nearby. Most animals would sniff at such a device, but most slashdot geeks would find it a very usefull tool to get laid...
it will be expensive, but arc welding equipment delivers more power routinely. You don't need special powerlines to connect them for the smaller ones, your electric kettle might draw even more.
I wonder what will happen when the first diamond processors become obsolete (yeah diamonds are forever, right). Will they be recycled into jewelry?
Well, considering the controversy some people make about unborn children that they cannot even see, I am shure somebody will argue that the childre that they can see need protection too. Some hysteric maniac shouting 'what about the children?' will twist it in such a way that nobody can disagree or risk looking like a pervert. So there will be no protection for those perverts that abuse little children with their computers. QED.
training to kill people is just preparation for murder, and since when is that a 'hobby'? You damn gunlovers should all be arrested for attempted homicide.
You just gave a very good description of aegis. It is only a tool, so you still need a proper secure organisation around it, but I could let this good opportunity to plug my favorite SCM go by.
Every sane person knows that this bubble will burst sooner or later. Buy stock put-options now and sell them when the bubble has burst. Options offer bigger profits as the only cost a fraction of the underlying stock, but are valuated at the fluctuation in price. ofcourse this is matched with a high risk that the price may rise instead of fall leaving your put-options worthless, so make sure you buy them long term.
SCO has a large amount of intellectual property in its shared libraries that are required to run UNIX applications on top of Linux. We are simply asking vendors, developers, and customers who make use of these libraries to pay a reasonable software-licensing fee to SCO in order to use these libraries.
Which distills into "we have some libraries, you have to pay us to use them"
The catch is here: nobody uses these libraries. The rest of the faq tries to hide that. It relies on the fact that most people are too lazy to do this:
[jbo@nietsch jbo]$ ls/emul/osr5.shlib ls:/emul/osr5.shlib: No such file or directory [jbo@nietsch jbo]$ ls/shlib ls:/shlib: No such file or directory
Like the article states it is made out of pressure treated yellow pine. Even if it was made out of untreated wood, it'd still be safe in 10 years time, provided he did the engineering right(no places where water can pool on the wood). (He is an engineer, and unlike you probably knows his stuff) If wood stays dry, it will not rot, it just stands there. Like trees really.
If you don't have the same love for rollercoasters as this guy, you'll find yourself looking at a bunch of wood which a trolley can ride. And it won't even loop you. Very nice maybe if your garden is a bit too big, but otherwise: Boring!
Q: Does BugScan make it easy for hackers to develop new attacks?
A: No. The information BugScan gives optimizes a small part of the exploit development process, but it still requires a very skilled person to do the additional work to produce a working exploit. That being said, BugScan is used in HBGary's exploit development process, and some customers are using BugScan for similar purposes.
Q: Does BugScan determine if a security coding error creates an exploitable vulnerability?
A: No. While we are working to enable this kind of functionality in the product in response to customer demand, it is a difficult to determine with any amount of certainty if a problem detected is truly exploitable.
So actually you will end up with a report that cannot mention if you are safe or not, and no way to change the application if you think you are.
Snake oil. Very good against any kind of bugs, esp security bug whatever those may be.

Aegis is a transaction-based software configuration management system. It provides a framework within which a team of developers may work on many changes to a program independently, and Aegis coordinates integrating these changes back into the master source of the program, with as little disruption as possible.
Aegis enforces a development process which requires that change sets ``work'' before they may be integrated into the project baseline. Works includes requiring that change sets build successfully, and (optionally) that they include and pass tests. It also ensures that code reviews have been performed.
Needless to say it is not very popular because you have less to debug with it and save time for doing other things
no it will not. At landing the passengers are lying back-down horizontal to take the G-forces on impact. This has the nasy side effect that they have to be launched upside down. The nosecone of the vehicle is their crumple-zone to use for landing (instead of airbags) I think that they encountered this much G's because their landing was anything but smooth. The nosecone was partially bend instead of crumpled straight, and the vehicle nearly rolled head-up again. There was way to much pendulum action when hanging under the chute.
You can get laptops with via C3 processors too. or transmeta crusoe. They dont run as hot because they don't burn that much batteries. That means you can keep you laptop running for a whole working day and just do the stuff you need to do instead of marveling at the fantastic speed (with wich your laptop that drains the batteries).
Probably being humble and satisfied with little is not good for the economy (the manufacturer's economy that is).
This system does not use a centrifugal pump. the whole assembly is integrated in the metal tank/heatsink and powered by a membrane pump powered by 5 volts piezo. In othere words: they are trying to sell it as a single component, reliable, maintanacne-free and easy to install.
fluorocarbons like freon and halon are not that nessecary for cooling purposes. you could use butane all the same. the nice thing about freon etc. is that they allow you to mix it with oil to get lubrication for the compresssor. There is no compressor or vapour phase in this design, so you can do with nearly any liquid. Water is just cheap, safe and suitable in his case.
If you use only a wick you are very much reliant on the orientation of the heatsink-radiator, and that is not something that is guaranteed in a laptop.
Not quite right.
the temperature may be somewhat constant, but that does not mean that the environment does not change. Think about the influx of nutrients that comes from land, or the amount of oxygen or coarbondioxide that is dissolved in the water. Now pour some changing ocean currents in the mix because the north atlantic and pacific are partially frozen over. That does have some influence doesn't it?
If your argument were right, we'd still be fishing up tribolites.
The technical problem however how to make this happen has not matured at all. Sure quite a few ideas have been implemented, but none of them work that good that they have found universal acceptance. The MeshAp network for instance, though quite mature, can not do hops of more than a few nodes, let alone span the whole island, continent or world. It just has not happened. There is are only a few networks that are similar to this, ie no subscription costs, ad hoc etc, and that's word of mouth and infectious diseases. Word of mouth routing is horrible and has a very low propagation speed and reliability. Infectious diseases are even slower, but have a higher message reliability if you encode your message in the virus.
