Can you imagine how delicate a processor of this nature would be. I would expect that the tiniest magnetic field could potentially disrupt the entire process. If we're talking quantum computing, then the spin state can represent a near-infinite number of positions, correct? If this is the case, the slightest fluxuation in the spin state would cause data-corruption.

this might sound lame, but I'm truely impressed. I figured that 99% of people out there using linux on a laptop did it simply for wow-factor, (like me) or for simple stuff that any other os could do (dare I say with less trouble) You've inspired me. I'm going to put more effort into finding uses for my
PPC installation.
I'm getting married in october. I'm glad I don't have to go topless.-----Sorry Bad Joke
(here goes my karma)
But really, I wonder if the cart is coming before the horse in this scenario. Is linux really a reasonable portable operating system. Sure, I boot ppc on my powerbook, and it looks really cool and stuff, but it's not useful to me on a day to day basis. I would hope any company marketing portables is putting alot of effort into building applications that make them viable. Perhaps I'm just being too closed minded.
"The water released when these planets form may collect into oceans and lakes," Bergin said. "Those bodies not incorporated into planets may become what we call comets."
I love it when scientists speak to reporters as if the reporters were 7th graders in an earth sciences lab.
"That's what we in the scientific community like to call, 'a beaker' Johnny. Now please put it down before you break something."
Evey great game has come from both tech innovation+gameplay/story innovation. It's easy to look backwards and say, "man, those simpler games, with good plots sure were more fun than they are today."
There are two things going on here:
1. What I like to call the "SNL sure was better in the 70's!" effect. When people collectively remember the past, they always remember the good stuff and sort of mass it all together into some sort of fantastic memory of what gaming used to be. For as long as I can remember, there have been more games that suck, than one that don't and More SNL skits that suck in one episode, than ones that dont. (sorry for the runon)
2. Second. If you take the perspective of going back in time, and looking forward, I'd bet you'd see that 90% of the great games developed over time came along with great tech developments. Think: birth of widespread home consoles: pacman, 8bit: Super Mario, 16 bit:Sonic, and on and on. It was the development of new technologes which drove developers to create better software. Of course I'm leaving out about 2000 great games.
In any case, I look forward to seeing what this project develops. Maybe they can build some backward compatable console games so we can pullout our old ataris and such.
"And a GUI installer? The monitors we had just had 2 pixels, and each pixel was 6 inches wide, because that was the smallest they could make them. We didn't have any fancy GUI
installers or those shoot-em-up games, 'cause we only had a 2x1 resolution. But we had "Guess Which Of The Pixels Is Going To Light Up Next", which is still a better game than
all the new FPSes combined."
Clench a magnetized needle, (which you must magnetize yourself) between your thumb and forefinger, and carefull magna-etch the data of your program onto the surface of your hard drive platter. Don't leave any fingerprints on the platter, and for god's sake, leave your static electricy elsewhere! Use of microscopes is generally frowned upon. Come on! Like you can't feel your way through those sectors!
Juan, You brought up several very good points. Appearance can be a huge overriding factor in the whole age situation. It will never completely make up for a youthful look, but it helps.
I'm 25, and I have a staggering amount of responsibilty in my job--as many 25 year old's do these days. However, I'm rarely taken seriously, and often downright ignored. It's insanely frustrating, but I also know that when I'm 40, I'll probably treat 25 year-olds the same way. Experience is the best teacher.
Anyone who has gone from collge onto a job knows that in your first year at a good job you learn 10x what you did in college. We have interns in our office who range from age 16 through 23. It's amazing to see the differnt levels in professional maturity, as well as know-how that come with age.
Age discrimination sucks. I absolutely hate to be ignored, especially when I know I'm right, but it comes with the territory.
If you want to escape it, find a company where the average age is as close to your own as possible.
But when the whip comes down and shareholders start to demand a return on their investment, Google may have to swallow its scruples -- particularly if it hopes to keep banner ads off its pages.
why does a privately held company have to please shareholders?
