Katz usually doesn't impress me with his writings, but this was intelligent and inofensive. He didn't glorify the word "geek" or us it 24 times in the writing. clear and to the point, and he wasn't talking out of his ass either. this is something we all can identify with, even jon.
the large majority of/.'ers don't care for jon katz one bit. i didn't really care about katz before this article. I never cared for the articles, but I followed, "live and let live", and just didn't read them. i think we should have a poll that decides what the readership truely thinks about katz, and whether we want any of his articles anymore.
I thought all of those homo elements after 106 were only like theoretical, or could only be sustained in a laboratory environment for a few milliseconds.. Now this shit says they could lead to a new group of highly stable elements.. Although the stability of the element all comes down to it's charge or the number of electrons in it's outermost level. Oh well, I'm sure there are pleanty of chemical engineers who will tell me what the real deal is.
