Animatter containment fields exist today. They are electro-magnetic bubbles. Nothing fancy. You keep the animatter in the middle of a vacuume magnetically to keep it from reacting with matter.
I think I read that matter and antimatter, while being equal, are not. In our universe, it takes more animatter to destroy matter. See the other atricle titled "One of Many"
You are correct, assuming even distribution. However we all know that whatever hits the fan is never evenely distributed... So we can wind up with matter and anti-matter at the same time, just different places.
There's some BS about an anti-matter containment field around the warp reactor (containing dilithium crystals) there are also magnetic contsrictors as well.

Ok, if you're going to turn this into a pissing contest... I'm 25, single, own a 3 bedroom house (own, with $40k in equity.) I live alone and pay for it alone by working 40 hours a week. I do have a car payment, but no student loans.
Other Americans can have this too, it takes a LOT of work and commitment. I went to college for 7 years for a 4 year degree. I never took a vacation during that time. If I wasn't in school, I was working. When I couldn't afford full-time, I went part-time. I put myself through college that way. I was tempted to go to dot-coms, but I stuck with school.
And I'm only a year out of school. But, I don't have much money left over at the end of the month. It takes me months to save up for anything 'fun' I have no playstations or nintendos. I rarely go out. It sucks, but just like college, in 5-10 years, I'll be so much better off... (I hope!)
I also watch Suze Orman. Suze is great. It is unfortunate that my generation needs her. She is the result of parents not talking about money to their kids. Maybe we should me more open about it, like we are with our sexuality. Then I bet we'd all be experts;-)
Anyway, for people wanting to get ideas, listen/watch/read Suze Orman. She gives no-nonsense advice and cuts right to it.
Good Luck my fellow Americans

You are absolutely correct. In our division, we have 2 weeks of vacation a year. No alcohol on the premisis either. It's American, with American work ethic. We churn out products like crazy. They call us 'cowboys' because we can turn something out in months that it takes them years and much more money to do. It's ca combination of competition and work ethic.
Over there, they are not allowed to work more than 40 hours a week (35 is usual). They serve beer in the cafeteria and spend about 3 months of of work on vacation. All things get done, eventually. They have great family and social lives.
When I recommended that the people scraping by leave the US, it's not because I don't want you here. It's completely because I think you'll be happier - both in the short and long run.

I work for in international company. roughtly 1/2 the people staffed here are from the company's 'mother land' in Europe.
Working for this company, I have learned several things about the world, and reflexively, the US. See we (Americans) have a system where it pays to work hard and get ahead. In other countries, you work hard, get ahead, and make very little back. The 85% tax rate ensures you don't see much ROI. Now, what they do get is a workign social security system where your retirement is completely paid by the government.
I have a friend here who is from that mother land, and he soo wants to be american so he can start his own company and experience the reward for his hard work. (AKA the American Dream) So I'm going to have to say: If you want to go to work, do the minimum as to not get fired, and have a good retirement, leave the US. If you want to work hard and get ahead, then stay. After listening to my friend, I have decided to start my own company. Ironically, this foreigner is helping me start it, pro-bono, because I don't know how.
This is not [as much of] an issue with Linux than it is with Windows. Linux does detect and adjust to the new motherboard and architecture better, but the problem with linux lies in having the right modules installed.
But a Linux system will never crash and need re-install after a new motherboard install. Some things just might work. The system will exist in a completely stable, fixable state.

To close up on a point that I failed to make above.
Linux+Apache+other OSrc tools have enough penetration to support a large and varied customer base, thereby making a "Linux Network" to compete with the "Microsoft Network"
Given Apache's penetration, and Linux's adoption, what is to say that Linux can't provide all that Microsoft can. I mean, what Microsoft would get is a "Microsoft Network" of computers (incedentally all running.NET) What this OS would tell you is: "No, you can't burn these MP3s, No you can't view that content." Meanwhile the opensource half of the world will have *SOME* DRM capability, which will probably be something like "allow all." Now which OS are you going to pick? The one where the Media Mongers and Monolists control, or the free and open one?
This is just another nail in the coffin for Micrsoft, by Microsoft.
I'd really like to know since all the traffic comes from one MAC address. True, you'd need a properly configured firewall, but you should be able to make any linux system look like a windows one (hint: disable ports or use reject policy in your iptables) It seems to me NAT is impossible to detect.
Can anyone with more 411 clarify?
