Darkcoin changed its name to Dash, sans the 'coin'. There was already a preexisting Cryptonote-based currency called Dashcoin when Darkcoin made the switch.
I taught we already had gallium-arsenide transistors. The problem is cost as it is reserved for application where power enveloppe is very thin (earing aids) and switching speed is critical (telecom equipment).
Another problem with GaAs and other III-V semiconductors is that they do not scale well, and so you can not pack as many transistors on a chip, and so they just can not compete with silicon in logic. They are quite useful for other applications, but not in your computer. Besides the low temperature hurdle, it's not clear if these new materials will face the same cost and scalability problems as III-Vs.
"Linux Mint 15 is the most ambitious release since the start of the project. MATE 1.6 is greatly improved and Cinnamon 1.8 offers a ton of new features, including a screensaver and a unified control center."
Really, linux mint, a screensaver, really?
Hate to rain on your parade, but gamma rays and x-rays are both just photons. What do you mean they're not the same thing? They're exactly the same thing, they just originate from different parts of the atom.

I don't think this would really work. People could still check the time. People could still play angry birds. Etc.
I'd probably just sit there and be quiet.
idiot and a grammar nazi, apparently
Linux doesn't beat the gimp, Linux is the gimp.

Obviously we should ban corn and its syrup. Ban ban ban!
nice try, polaris CEO
