  1. the evolution of captains on Star Trek: Enterprise Premieres Tonight · · Score: 1

    Where in Canada did it air? I'm just wondering 'cause it isn't on in Toronto until tonight... (CityTV @ 8pm for you fellow Torontonians)

    I think this captain will be gay. Think about it! First they had the young caucasian captain, then the old caucasian captain, then the black captain, then the female captain. In the politically-correct chain, I think gay is next...

  2. Re:Synopsis of Ep 5, and what happened to 6... on Cowboy Bebop Back on Toonami · · Score: 1

    First off, I'd like to point tout I submitted this story 3 days ago, and it was rejected minutes later

    I also submitted this story 4 days ago. I think a lot of important anime news is getting missed on /., and while I realize that there is more important tech news to be viewed, I think a little more frequency to anime news would be appreciated. Is CmdrTaco the only anime fan who decides whether stories get posted or not?

    Getting back on topic, I'm glad they aired episode 5 (despite edits), episode 6 isn't too much of a loss (although the harmonica music is great), episode 7 is a nice leisurely episode, but it seems to me that losing episode 8 would be rough. I really loved that episode. Ah, well. More anime news! Especially about the new Miyazaki film!

  3. somewhat old hat on Nanoscale Crystals May Be The Future of Silicon · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't think this work is all that new. People have been producing nanocrystals for 10 years or so (check out work by Alivisatos, Bawendi, others). The trick is to get the size distribution narrow, and then to get them into something that's more processible, like a semiconducting polymer, then you can follow simpler fabrication techniques to place them on circuit (and not have perform lithography in a titanium chamber at 450 degrees). It's true that these sorts of silicon nanocrystals would be better suited to biomedical applications, as the goodnanocrystals out there are made of toxic chemicals like CdS and CdSe, hence the line, "Putting cadmium into people doesn't sound so great,". But the article doesn't say anything about size distribution, or whether they've made electroluminescent structures, or just gotten photoluminescence. I just think it should be taken with a grain of salt.
